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.
