PDO Thread Lift

Thread lifting at RVmedCentrum uses PDO (polydioxanone) mesoniti — ultra-fine absorbable threads inserted into the skin with a fine needle to mechanically lift sagging tissue and simultaneously stimulate collagen production. The treatment is performed under topical or local anaesthesia with no incisions and no downtime. Results are visible immediately and improve progressively over 2 to 3 months as the PDO threads bio-stimulate new collagen formation, with the overall effect lasting 12 to 18 months.

PDO (polydioxanone) thread lifting is a minimally invasive alternative to surgical facelift for patients who want facial lifting without the recovery time or cost of surgery. At RVmedCentrum, PDO mesoniti (mesothreads) are placed by experienced physicians using ultra-fine needles — no surgical incisions are required. PDO is a well-established absorbable medical suture material with a long safety record in surgery. When introduced into the skin's deep dermis or subdermal layer as a mesh of fine threads, it produces two complementary effects: an immediate mechanical lifting of the overlying tissue (smoothing folds and repositioning descended structures), and a delayed bio-stimulatory effect as the body responds to the PDO by producing new collagen around each thread. As the threads dissolve over 4 to 6 months, the collagen matrix they have stimulated remains, providing continued skin firmness and a gradual ongoing improvement in texture and elasticity. The combined mechanical and biological result typically lasts 12 to 18 months. Treatment areas include the midface, jowls, nasolabial folds, neck, and brow. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied before treatment. The procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the number of threads used; patients may resume normal activities the same day. Mild swelling or bruising at insertion points resolves within a few days. The clinic recommends avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, and alcohol for 48 to 72 hours post-treatment.
