PDO Threads

Dubbed the “non-surgical facelift”, PDO threads are a powerful collagen remodelling technique that simultaneously lifts and tightens drooping and sagging skin across the face and neck. Become reunited with the youthful version of yourself without having to endure any downtime or invasive treatment. It generates collagen and elastin after treatment – it’s a gift that keeps on giving to your skin!

How it works

Forget a traditional facelift – PDO Threads is a minimally-invasive alternative that centres around enhancement rather than modifying your natural features (the latter underpins all the aesthetic treatments Dr Ayesha offers).

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads use very fine medical-grade polydioxanone threads made from protein. They are easily absorbed by the skin over a period of 4 to 6 months and proceed to gently pull loose and collagen-deficient areas of skin, creating a tighter and more youthful-looking complexion.

This innovative treatment has a multifaceted approach to tackling signs of ageing. The first stage of treatment results in an instantly tightened and firmed treatment site. Secondly, once the body realises the presence of the threads, it starts to create collagen in response.

FAQs

Who is suited to PDO Thread treatment?

Dr Ayesha recommends PDO Threads to patients who have a visible loss of skin elasticity, whether it be due to ageing, photodamage, or a combination of the two.

PDO Threads falls into the category of restorative skincare treatment, reversing already-present loss of skin vitality. It also successfully rebuilds collagen stores, which start to drop radically after the age of around 40.
