PDO Thread Lift

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. 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.

    PDO Thread Lift FAQ

    How long does it take?

    Insertion of the threads takes up to an hour to complete.

    What should I expect after treatment?

    As with any cosmetic treatment, there might be some temporary swelling, redness or bruising. This usually passes within a couple of days.

    Results take around 4-6 weeks to fully develop. We will arrange a review 2 weeks after treatment to check on the progress, a further review after a month and a final appointment after 3 months where before and after photographs will be compared and a top-up treatment provided if necessary.

    Any special aftercare requirements?

    We recommend:

    • avoid other facial/beauty treatments for 2 weeks
    • avoid dental work for a month
    • avoid exercise for 2 weeks and contact sports for the first 4 weeks

    Does it hurt?

    It is surprisingly comfortable – patients describe a stinging sensation, similar to acupuncture. If required, the procedure can be carried out using a local anaesthetic.

    Treatments at Clinicbe® are always made as comfortable as possible according to the treatment and the individual’s personal requirements. Ice is used as a topical anaesthetic. If necessary, a dental block anaesthetic may also be used. Painkillers are also available on request.

    What facial rejuvenation procedures can you carry out with PDO threads?

    PDO threads are highly versatile. Options include:

    • Eye lift
    • Eyebrow lift
    • Cheeks
    • Jawline
    • Mini facelift
    • Face and neck lift

    Might it look fake or uneven?

    The mono threads have a screw system which creates a symmetrical and even lifting effect with multi-directional cogs which avoid the danger of over-pulling or dimpling.

    The result may appear exaggerated initially, but this will wear off in a couple of days.

    Is this just for the face?

    No – the PDO threads can be applied on the body too and can help with a number of areas:

    • lifting and rejuvenating loose abdominal skin (tummy)
    • lifting of breast tissue
    • regenerating the decolletage
    • lifting buttocks
    • shoulders, forearm, elbows, calves or knees…

    These threads provide a natural and youthful appearance of the skin and protect against wrinkles and sagginess.

    How will my skin feel with the threads in?

    The threads themselves will be undetectable, either by sight or by touch.

    After the initial healing, there will be no sensitivity or discomfort.

    Once the skin has started producing new collagen and cells in response to the threads, it will feel noticeably firmer and more elastic.

    When will I see the results?

    You will notice your skin is lifted and smoothed out straightaway. Initially the result may appear a bit exaggerated, but this stage will wear off in a couple of days.

    The result will then continue to develop as the body produces new collagen and elastin.

    The end result is a natural and more youthful look.

    Do the threads have to be removed?

    No, they break down naturally within the skin.

    Who can have PDO thread lifting?

    The procedure is suitable for most clients from the age of around 25 onwards, when the effects of ageing (thinning tissues due the breakdown of collagen and elastin) start to become apparent.

    We do not advise this treatment for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers, those with a tendency to keloid scarring, active skin infections, open wounds, skin lesions or autoimmune diseases.

    Is Clinicbe® registered with the CQC for thread lifts?

    Clinicbe® is fully CQC Registered, which means that we are able to carry out the PDO thread lift. See our latest CQC Report.

    After recent changes to guidelines and regulations, this anti-ageing procedure should not be administered unless the practise is CQC registered. Please check this if you are comparing providers.
