COSMETIC TREATMENT

PDO Threads

PDO Thread treatment provides us with a new and unique way to improve clients’ skin texture by thickening and tightening the skin. It can also create volume and support and give a subtle lift to areas of the face and body that are starting to show the visible signs of ageing, such as fine lines & skin laxity.

Treatment takes 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.

What Are PDO Threads? 

PDO threads are made up of a material called Polydioxanone, which is an absorbable polymer that is flexible and durable. The Matrix PDO threads work by triggering fibroblasts, which induce collagen production, creating a tightening effect that can last 6-12 months.

PDO threads are a type of single thread filament. These threads are smooth and made without barbs which a minimally invasive. The threads are inserted into the skin. After entering the skin, the threads activate collagen synthesis for a gradual skin tightening and skin rejuvenating effect. Whilst they tighten the skin, they do not significantly lift the skin

​These threads are smooth and versatile, as they can be safely placed in most areas of the face and body. These skin tightening treatments can be used to rejuvenate collagen treating neck sagging, forehead lines and facial wrinkles. 

What areas can be treated with PDO threads?

  • Upper and lower cheeks
  • Forehead and brows
  • Neck and jawline
  • Nose to mouth lines
  • Marionette lines
  • Arms
  • Buttocks
  • Abdomen
The threads break down under the skin and the body turns them into collagen, creating a tightening effect for 6-12 months after the procedure. The threads become a support structure for your face, allowing natural collagen production to take place.

Before treatment a topical anaesthetic is applied and generally, the treatment is comfortable. Obviously, pain varies from individual to individual. We also do have the option to provide local anaesthetic if required.

You will begin to see results immediately but most visible in 6 weeks and continues to improve over the next 2- 6 months as new collagen is produced. Although the threads dissolve you will continue to see results for up to 6-12 months.
