Hello Interloper!

PDO (Polydioxanone) is a material that has been used in medicine for decades and is the same material used if you have absorbable stitches or sutures placed after an injury or operation.
When a patient comes to me for treatment with PDO threads – the first thing we do is assess the potential treatment area and discuss medical history to ensure that the PDO Thread Lift is an appropriate and realistic treatment for them.
If it is, the patient returns for their treatment once they are happy to proceed and feel fully informed about the details of the procedure.
The treatment itself can take an hour or so to complete, during which time a number of threads are introduced into the treatment area using a cannula or micro-needle after a local anesthetic has been administered.
