A PDO thread lift is a procedure that uses a dissolvable suture to tighten and lift your skin. It’s a less invasive procedure than facelift surgery and can often be performed in under 45 minutes without needing to go under a scalpel and no risk of surgery or downtime.

I went today for Botox. The doctor is very knowledgeable and doesn't try to force you to buy something else. The staff is kind and welcoming. I will gladly continue to give them my business. BTW, no bruising. Hooray!

Very professional! Fit me in last minute for Botox. Was referred by a friend and she loves Dr Pasha as well! Would highly recommend.

How does the treatment work?

Re-definition of the facial contours and induces collagen production creating a lifting effect lasts for up to 2 – 3 years. The threads will form an integrated support structure for the tissue of the face due to collagen synthesis. The lifting effect is at its peak 6 months later when collagen has formed around the threads.

What happens during the treatment?

Local anesthetic is injected into the treatment area. The PDO thread will then be introduced using a cannula or micro-needle in the required area. Your face will feel numb and your mouth may be asymmetrical for a few hours, similar to that of dental injections. Please refrain form chewing or drinking hot liquids until your face has regained full sensation. You will be able to fully resume your everyday routine and social commitments within a couple of days. FTC PDO Therapy is a tailor made treatment, which can be adjusted to your requirements at any time. When you combine FTC PDO Therapy with Fillers and Botox great results can be achieved.

When Will I Start Seeing Results?

There is an immediate improvement seen after FTC treatments with a visible lift in the areas treated. This will improve over a period of 2-6 months as new collagen grows between the threads and gives further lift and tightening to the skin. The PDO threads gradually dissolve over about 6 months, but the resulting lift remains.

Thread Lift VS Surgical Face Lift

There is minimal downtime and no general anesthetic risks. The specialised needles allow small areas to be tackled effectively. As there are no incisions, stitches are not required and scarring is unlikely.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment time depends on many factors and size of treatment area, but can take between 30 -60 minutes.
