PDO Threads
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are absorbable threads placed under the skin that combine two effects: mechanical support of facial structures and collagen stimulation over time. The threads are absorbed by the body, but the collagen formed continues contributing to firmness.
Book an assessmentWho it is for
- Mild to moderate laxity in the face and neck
- Loss of definition along the facial contour
- Complementing biostimulation protocols
- Patients seeking support without surgery
How it works
After local anaesthesia, threads are introduced with cannulas or needles along paths planned during your assessment. Placement respects the anatomy of the region and the intended support vector. Swelling and small bruises in the first days are common.
Sessions and maintenance
The effect is temporary, and maintenance planning is individual, accounting for the type of thread used and each body's response.

Frequently asked questions
Will the threads be visible or feel hard?
+
Threads are placed in deeper skin planes and the material is absorbable. A pulling sensation is possible in the first days and tends to ease as the tissue settles.
How long is recovery?
+
Swelling and tenderness are usual in the first days, with specific guidance on facial movement, sleeping position and exercise. Return to activities varies with the extent of the procedure.
Can I have it if I scar badly?
+
A history of keloids or altered healing is a relative contraindication and must be assessed individually before any procedure that breaks the skin.
Is this the same as a surgical facelift?
+
No. Threads provide support in mild to moderate laxity and also act through collagen stimulation. Pronounced laxity may require a surgical approach, and that is stated clearly at your assessment.

Deep Cleansing Facial
A deep cleansing facial is the starting point for almost every facial care plan. More than just extraction, it is a thorough cleanse that removes dead cells, clears congested pores and prepares your skin to absorb active ingredients and respond better to other procedures.

Botulinum toxin temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines — the forehead, the glabella (the frown line between the brows) and the eye area. The goal is never a frozen face, but softening those marks while keeping your natural expression.
Learn more→Microneedling
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled stimuli in the skin. These microchannels trigger the body's natural repair response — collagen and elastin production — while also allowing active ingredients to be absorbed far more effectively. It is one of the most versatile facial protocols available.
