PDO Thread Lift

PDO thread lifts use absorbable polydioxanone threads placed under the skin to provide gentle support and stimulate the skin's own structure. They are used to subtly lift and firm areas such as the cheeks, jawline and brow, and to refresh skin quality, with results that build as the threads do their work. At V Clinic the approach is planned by a physician according to your anatomy and goals.

A PDO thread lift uses fine, absorbable polydioxanone threads introduced beneath the skin with a thin needle or cannula. Once in place, the threads provide immediate mechanical support that can subtly reposition and firm lax tissue, while the body's gradual absorption of the material is associated with stimulation of the skin's own supportive framework over the following months. Threads come in different forms — some focused on lifting and repositioning, others, finer, on improving skin texture and firmness — and the physician selects and arranges them to suit the area. At V Clinic the procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and typically takes around thirty to forty-five minutes depending on the number of threads. Afterwards you may notice mild swelling, tenderness, small bruises or a slight pulling sensation for a few days, with guidance to avoid wide mouth movements, facial massage and strenuous activity briefly while everything settles. An initial lift is often visible immediately, with skin quality continuing to improve as the threads are absorbed; the material itself dissolves over several months while the supportive effect can last considerably longer before a repeat is considered. Thread lifts suit adults with early to moderate skin laxity who want a subtle lift without surgery; suitability and a realistic outcome are discussed with the physician at consultation, and the treatment is avoided in pregnancy.
