PDO threads
PDO threads in Luton
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads, are medical-grade biodegradable sutures which are skilfully inserted into the skin to lift sagging tissue and stimulate collagen production. Often known as ‘thread lift’, the collagen generated boosts the skin’s elasticity and firmness. PDO threads work by promoting collagen synthesis, resulting in long-lasting rejuvenation against sagging skin and wrinkle formation.
We advise for optimal results a course of 2 treatments (6 months apart) is required.
The Benefits
- PDO threads is a non-surgical technique.
- Requires minimal downtime, with mild side effects.
- The threads naturally dissolve over the next few months, but the collagen production continues to support the skin structure.
- After 2 treatments, effects can last up to 2 years

FAQs
How do PDO threads work?
PDO threads work by being inserted into the deeper layers of the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Once in place, the threads provide an immediate lifting effect by physically supporting the skin. Over time, the presence of the threads stimulates the body’s natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen around the threads. As the threads gradually dissolve over several months, the new collagen helps maintain the skin’s lifted appearance.
Who is a good candidate for PDO threads?
Good candidates for PDO threads are individuals who are experiencing mild to moderate skin sagging and wish to improve their appearance without surgery. Ideal candidates are typically:
In their 30s-50s: With early signs of aging such as loose skin and fine lines.
In good overall health: Without severe skin conditions or infections in the treatment area.
Looking for subtle, natural results: Rather than dramatic changes.
Is the procedure painful?
PDO thread treatments are generally well-tolerated. A local anaesthetic is used to numb the treatment area, so most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some may feel slight pressure or a pulling sensation as the threads are inserted.
What is the recovery like after PDO thread treatment?
Recovery after PDO thread treatment is typically quick, with most people returning to their normal activities within a day or two.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Results from PDO thread treatments can be seen immediately after the procedure, with continued improvement over the next 2 to 3 months as collagen production increases. The results typically last between 12 to 18 months.
