PDO Thread Lift: A Revolutionary Non-Surgical Facelift

How Does PDO Thread Lift Work?

PDO Threads are carefully inserted into the subdermal layer of the skin using fine, sterile needles. Once placed, the threads offer immediate support to sagging tissues, resulting in an instant lift and tightened appearance. This will further improve with time as new collagen begins to form where the threads have been inserted.

The threads stimulate the body's natural healing response, enhancing collagen production. This increased collagen improves skin texture, elasticity, and firmness over time.

The threads dissolve naturally over 6-12 months, but the lifting and rejuvenating effects persist due to sustained collagen stimulation.

Key Benefits of PDO Thread Lift

Treatment Areas and Effects

PDO thread lifts are versatile and can be used to treat various areas of the face and body. For facial treatments, common areas include the cheeks, jawline, eyebrows, and neck, where the threads help lift and tighten sagging skin. On the body, PDO threading is effective on the abdomen, arms, and thighs, providing a non-surgical option for tightening and lifting loose skin in these areas.

It is important to note that threads' effect and final results are always much improved when skin strengthening treatments are done prior to thread insertion, as the more dense the collagen and elastin in the skin are prior to thread insertion, the better the final results.

I enjoyed a fabulous, relaxing hour with the lovely team and experienced my first-ever facial at 63! She is an excellent therapist and her own journey in life was a treat to hear about. Her tender heart is a gift, she passes on. Thank you! Dr Maureen inspires one with her beautiful soul and sees something one is not aware of and blesses us with her magic! A fabulous uplifting outcome. Thank you so much! It's truly amazing!

I have been a patient of Skin renewal Willowbridge for quite some time. Firstly being treated by Helette and more recently by Juliana. Both highly skilled therapists that I can recommend. After chatting to Juliana about threading And huge amounts of research I decided to take the plunge with Dr. Graham. He is the most patient, compassionate doctor and gives a huge amount of reading material and never pushing for a decision, but always there to help answer any questions. I had the threading done today. Although not totally painless, it was definitely manageable. If there was any sign of pain, Dr Graham was very willing to give a small shot of anesthetic in the pain area. The procedure did not take long, and the slight swelling was gone in a matter of minutes. 4 hours later, there is slight discomfort to the touch, but absolutely no visible signs of trauma, not even where the threads were inserted. No swelling, no bruising and absolutely no pain. Not even my husband noticed anything. I can see a slight improvement in the lift around the jewels, but will see in 3 months when it should show better results. So far I can definitely recommend this treatment and I will check in over the next few weeks. Dr Graham is a honey. Talking you through the whole process and making you feel at ease throughout. Thank you!

I was quite anxious about having this procedure done as I have a phobia about needles! But my anxiety was quickly allayed. The doctors who do the threading are extremely professional and competent, and they work under the most hygienic conditions. I felt completely confident that I was receiving the best possible treatment. The only discomfort I felt was a slight sting as the topical anaesthic was applied, which lasted only a few brief moments. The threading itself, to my great surprise and delight, was completely painless! I had quite a number of threads done and noticed some swelling in a few areas immediately after the procedure, but that didn't last long. There was some bruising around my neck, however, I do bruise easily so was not at all concerned about it. It's been three weeks since I had the threading. I could see good results almost immediately afterwards and as each day goes by, the effects become more and more visible. My face has definitely lifted; I look younger and feel rejuvenated. People comment on it. Can't wait to see how much better I will look three months from now! Thanks to Skin Renewal for giving me this fresh new look!

Dear potential Silhouette client, I was fortunate enough to be chosen as a candidate to facilitate Doctor training for this procedure. I was quite apprehensive however my nerves were very quickly calmed in the very capable hands of the doctor. I had Silhouette threads inserted into the jawline and neck. The procedure was performed by Dr Maureen, which was completely painless and two other Doctors learning to do the procedure on the left side which due to their inexperience was a little uncomfortable but manageable. The jawline results are great and has restored definition to my face. My husband noticed the difference immediately. The sides of my neck line is very slightly improved. I will need additional threading in the neckline to get a further improvement. I look forward to the ongoing improvement this treatment promises.

I am almost 65 years old and have a younger looking skin (and much more younger looking wife). I needed to make sure that people do not think that the beautiful woman with me is my daughter and not my wife. I had the opportunity to to have a rejuvenation experience when Skin Renewal launched Silhouette Threads. What a pleasant surprise! No discomfort other than slight tenderness for 2 days after a most pleasant insertion procedure and a fresh youthful face in the mirror every morning when I shaveThe local anesthetic and the gentle care of the Aesthetic doctors made the process very smooth running and highly recommendable. Get rid of the aging evidence in comfort and without pain.
