PDO Threading

PDO thread lift procedures

Thread lifts are a minimally invasive alternative to a facelift for patients who are not ready to undergo more aggressive surgical options. The effects from a thread lift will be temporary and not as dramatic as a facelift.

Improvements can be noted immediately as a result of the mechanical lifting of the threads followed by a continued gradual correction of fine lines and wrinkles over time as the procedure stimulates natural collagen production.

Maintenance procedures are usually required at around 18 months.
