PDO Threads not only tighten and firm the skin but also stimulate collagen production, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As the PDO Threads activate collagen synthesis, the skin gradually tightens and renews, delivering a fuller and tauter complexion. Made from absorbable suture materials, these threads work in two steps: an initial gentle tightening and a later smoothing effect as collagen naturally takes over.

Some temporary side effects, such as swelling and bruising can be expected around the treatment area. This usually resolves within a few days, but could take a couple weeks.
Results are seen in 8–12 weeks and can last up to 12 months. PDO Threads are a made from a dissolving suture material, which is reabsorbed into the body after approximately 3 months. Yet, the collagen stimulation achieved can continue to benefit the skin for up to 12 months. So, a yearly treatment regime would be ideal.
Prior to treatment, numbing cream is applied to the designated area. This ensures you feel minimal discomfort during your treatment. Some tenderness may be experienced during the first few hours following treatment.
