Non-Surgical Face Lift
PDO threads offer the very latest technology for soft, natural-looking thread lifting in a non-invasive procedure. The PDO thread lift is designed for effective facial rejuvenation without surgery, which means less downtime at a comparatively lower cost with lower risk and minimal aftercare following treatment.
The procedure helps to reverse the key effects of ageing such as wrinkles, saggy skin, deep creases, folds and poor skin texture. It can lift and tighten the skin to improve the profile of a flabby face, raise cheeks or eyebrows, help to prevent eye bags and laughter lines, lift sagging neck skin, raise the smile and angle of the mouth and even tackle smokers lines.
The non-invasive procedure yields amazing rejuvenation results and is practically painless. It leaves no scar or cuts at all.
This is quite a structural procedure, using tiny invisible threads beneath the skin to ‘lift’ the tissues back to a higher and more youthful position while also smoothing out lines and wrinkles.
The thread lift process also stimulates the skin’s production of collagen and new skin cells, as the body’s natural response to the thread; which enhances the result.
Rather than thinking of it as a semi-surgical thread lift, PDO threads act more like a dermal filler, but leaving a thread in the skin instead of an injectable solution.

What are PDO Threads?
PDO stands for Polydioxanone and this refers to the material used to make the threads used in the lifting procedure.
PDO spring threads are a type of absorbable thread used for skin tightening and rejuvenation. PDO stands for Polydioxanone, which is a biocompatible material commonly used in medical sutures. These threads are designed to stimulate collagen production, lift sagging skin, and improve the overall texture and tightness of the treated area.
The term “spring threads” typically refers to PDO threads that have a coiled or helical structure. These threads have small barbs or cogs along their length, which help anchor them within the skin and provide a lifting effect. The helical shape of the threads enhances their lifting capabilities.
During the PDO spring thread procedure, a medical professional inserts the threads into the skin using a thin needle or cannula. Once inserted, the threads create a scaffolding effect, lifting and supporting sagging skin. Over time, the threads gradually dissolve, but their presence stimulates collagen synthesis, which further improves skin tightness and elasticity.
The PDO threads offer a number of specific benefits:
- Ultra-fine threads are naturally broken down within the body over 6-8 months, although the results naturally ‘wear off’ over around 18 months
- Transparent material invisible within the skin
- Threads have no cones, thus no tissue damage
- Excellent safety record – the same thread used in cardiac and other surgical sutures
- The principle behind PDO thread lifting is not simply about pulling the skin into a different position, but also to stimulate the body’s natural reaction to a ‘foreign body’ – which is to produce collagen and improve blood circulation, contracting the tissue.
