At our clinic, we offer consultations for PDO (Polydioxanone) smooth threads, which are a non-surgical option using dissolvable medical-grade threads. These are designed for those seeking to support skin appearance and texture through a personalised cosmetic treatment plan.

​

During the consultation, your practitioner will assess your individual concerns and advise whether this treatment may be suitable for your skin needs and aesthetic goals. All procedures are performed by a qualified and experienced registered nurse under clinical supervision, following a medical prescription where required.

​

 

What to Expect

​

• Skin is cleansed and numbing options may be used for comfort.

• Threads are inserted into the superficial layer of the skin using a very fine needle.

• The threads remain in place and are naturally broken down by the body over time.

 

Treatment typically takes around 45–60 minutes.

​

 

Discomfort and Recovery

​

Some mild discomfort may be experienced during the procedure. Numbing cream or local anaesthetic may be used for your comfort.

After the treatment, you may experience:

• Redness at the insertion points

• Mild swelling or bruising

• A sensation of tightness or tingling in the treated area

 

These effects are usually temporary. A personalised aftercare guide will be provided.

​

 

Aftercare Guidelines

​

• Avoid excessive facial movement, pressure, or manipulation of the area for 1–2 weeks

• Avoid strenuous exercise, hot environments, and alcohol consumption for the recommended period

• Use a gentle cleanser and broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily

• Refrain from applying exfoliants, retinoids, or products containing alcohol for several days post-treatment

​

Your practitioner will guide you through appropriate post-care based on your individual needs.

​

 

Treatment Plan and Frequency

​

Results from PDO smooth thread treatments are gradual, and improvements may become more noticeable over time. A treatment plan will be developed during your consultation, considering your skin and aesthetic preferences. Follow-up treatments may be discussed based on your goals and clinical response.

PDO thread treatment may be used in combination with other modalities as advised by your healthcare provider.
