PDO threads is a procedure that uses fine threads to tighten skin. The PDO threads are inserted into the skin using a needle to assist the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They can also be used to contour the face and stimulate collagen production for long-term tightening.
The benefits of PDO Threads
How does it work?
Mono threads are a type of PDO thread used for skin threading. They are made from a single strand of polydioxanone — a biocompatible material similar to the tissue that makes up your skin. This makes them thinner and more flexible than other types of threads — ideal for treating delicate skin, such as the area around the eyes.
Double Screw Threads have intertwined threads which provide volume to the treated area. This treatment is ideal for clients who desire skin tightening and rejuvenation.
After a skin threading treatment, the threads dissolve over time and are eventually absorbed by the body. The results typically last anywhere between 6 to 8 months, after which the skin will gradually return to its original position.

To ensure you get the best and longest-lasting results with the fewest side effects, there are a few simple aftercare instructions:
• Remain upright for six hours to ensure correct dispersion of the treatment
• Do not rub the injection site
• Avoid makeup for 12 hours
• Avoid excessive sun exposure; this includes sun baking, for 2 weeks
• Avoid UV lights, freezing temperatures, saunas or Turkish baths for 2 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions
Which areas can be treated with PDO threads?
Smile lines, upper lip area, cheeks, marionette, chin, crows feet, tear troughs, neck jaw and more. Consult with one of our medical practitioners to find out the best treatment plan for you.
How do PDO threads work?
PDO threads induce production of collagen creating a tightening effect for 6 to 12 months after your procedure. The threads become a support structure for your face allowing natural collagen production to take place.
What happens during a PDO thread treatment session?
PDO threads will be inserted into the skin using a micro-needle or cannula. The treatment is a customised procedure and your healthcare professional will work closely with you in order to achieve optimal results. Also worth noting is that PDO Thread treatments don’t involve any sort of incision, meaning stitches are not required.
How long are PDO thread treatment sessions?
The time of your procedure will vary based on many factors-such as the size of your treatment area.
When will I see results?
You will begin to see results in 6 weeks which continue to improve over the next 2 to 6 months as new collagen is produced. Although the PDO Threads will slowly dissolve you’ll continue to see results for up to 12 months.
What are PDO threads?
PDO threads is a procedure that uses fine threads to tighten skin. The PDO threads are inserted into the skin using a needle to assist the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They can also be used to contour the face and stimulate collagen production for long-term tightening.
How many treatments will I need?
The number will vary depending on your goals, the condition of your skin, and the severity of your concerns. After your appointment, you will see results as early as 6 weeks as your body naturally produces more collagen.
How long will PDO threads last?
PDO threads are not permanent. The body will slowly absorb the threads over time, typically within 6 to 8 months, but this can vary depending on the individual’s skin type, age, and lifestyle. Additionally, individuals who smoke or spend a lot of time in the sun may find that their threads break down more quickly.
Are PDO threads better than filler?
PDO threads offer several benefits over filler injections. PDO threads lift the skin without adding volume, which is especially beneficial for people who have early signs of ageing. Mono threads also stimulate collagen production, facilitating long-term skin rejuvenation — unlike the temporary results seen in filler injections.
Do PDO threads stretch skin?
PDO threads do not stretch the skin. During the skin threading procedure, fine needles are used to create small punctures in the skin. As the wounds heal, they stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin. The mono threads simply anchor the skin and support new collagen growth.
Can I travel after my injectable treatment?
Travel is not advised until 2-4 weeks after your procedure. This is to ensure that if you do have any side effects, complications or general questions that you are close to your treating practitioner and can be taken care of.
Can I receive any vaccinations after my medical procedure?
All vaccinations are not recommended 2 weeks prior or within 2 weeks of your treatment.
Disclaimer: Before undergoing a cosmetic medical treatment, ensure that you understand that individual results may vary and that you are aware of the risks and potential complications associated with the procedure.
