Non-Surgical Collagen Stimulation & Subtle Lifting

PDO threads are a minimally invasive treatment designed to support your skin’s natural collagen production while providing subtle structural support.

This is not about changing your face.

It’s about restoring support, improving skin quality, and enhancing balance — in a way that still looks like you.

Thoughtful. Conservative. Personalized.

FAQs - PDO Threads

What are PDO Threads?

PDO lifting threads and smooth collagen boosting threads are advanced cosmetic procedures designed to enhance the appearance of the skin. PDO threads are made of a biocompatible material called polydioxanone (PDO) and are inserted into the skin using a needle or cannula. These threads create a supportive structure that lifts sagging skin, resulting in a more youthful and lifted appearance. Additionally, PDO threads stimulate collagen production, which further improves skin elasticity and firmness.
Smooth collagen boosting threads, are made of a fine biocompatible material called polydioxanone (PDO) and are inserted into the skin using a needle. These delicate threads are inserted into the skin to stimulate collagen synthesis, which helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin quality.
Both PDO lifting threads and smooth collagen boosting (non-lifting) threads are minimally invasive procedures that offer noticeable improvements in skin appearance. The choice between the two depends on your specific concerns and desired outcomes. Consulting with a qualified professional will help determine the most suitable treatment for you. Experience the transformative effects of these innovative threads and achieve a rejuvenated and youthful complexion.

When will I see results?

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads can be used for both lifting and smoothing effects on the skin.
PDO lifting threads are inserted into the skin to create a lifting and tightening effect. These threads have small barbs or cones that anchor into the skin, allowing for repositioning and lifting of sagging or drooping skin.
The results of PDO lifting threads are immediate, and they continue to improve over time as collagen production is stimulated and the threads gradually dissolve.
On the other hand, PDO smooth threads are used for skin rejuvenation and improving the texture and quality of the skin. These threads do not have barbs or cones and are inserted into the skin in a mesh-like pattern.
Smooth threads stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.
The results of smooth PDO threads also develop gradually over time.

How many treatments will I need?

For PDO lifting threads, one treatment session is typically sufficient to achieve the desired lifting and tightening effect. However, additional sessions may be recommended for more significant sagging or if further improvement is desired.
Typically, a single session of PDO lifting threads is usually sufficient to achieve the desired lifting and tightening effect. However, if you have more pronounced sagging or desire further improvement, additional sessions may be recommended.
On the other hand, PDO smooth threads often require multiple treatment sessions to achieve the desired skin rejuvenation and improvement in texture and quality. The exact number of sessions can vary, but it is common to have three to four treatments spaced one month apart.
It is important to keep in mind that the results of PDO threads are not permanent. Over time, the threads gradually dissolve, and the duration of the results can vary depending on individual factors.
Generally, the results last for six months to one year.
To maintain the results, touch-up treatments are recommended every 9-12 months.
To determine the most suitable treatment plan for your specific needs and goals, schedule a consultation to be assessed for your individual circumstances and be provided a personalized treatment plan.

How long do the results last?

The duration of results for PDO lifting and smooth threads can vary depending on individual factors such as the patient’s age, skin condition, lifestyle, and the number of threads used.
PDO Lifting Threads provide an immediate lifting effect, and the results can last anywhere from six months to eighteen months. The threads stimulate collagen production, which helps to maintain the lifting effect even after the threads have dissolved. However, over time, the natural aging process and factors such as gravity may cause some gradual sagging to occur.
PDO Smooth Threads, on the other hand, primarily focus on improving skin quality and texture. The results of smooth threads can last for around three to six months. The threads stimulate collagen production, which helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness. However, as with any cosmetic treatment, individual results may vary.
To maintain the results of PDO lifting or smooth threads, it is often recommended to undergo maintenance treatments at least yearly.
During your consultation at La Clinique Aesthetics, a healthcare professional will provide you with a more personalized assessment of the expected duration of results based on your specific situation and treatment plan.

Is there a recovery period after the treatment?

After PDO lifting or smooth thread treatment, there is typically a minimal recovery period. Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
However, it is common to experience some moderate swelling, bruising, or redness at the treatment site, which usually subsides within a five days.
To optimize the healing process and minimize any potential side effects, it is recommended to follow post-treatment instructions provided by your provider. These will include avoiding strenuous activities, applying cold compresses to reduce swelling, and avoiding excessive touching or manipulation of the treated area.
If you experience any discomfort while eating after the procedure, it is recommended to consume softer foods or cut food into smaller, more manageable pieces. It is also advisable to avoid excessively hot or spicy foods that may irritate the treated area.
It’s important to note that individual experiences may vary, and some individuals may have a faster or slower recovery.
During your consultation at La Clinique Aesthetics, our experienced practitioner will provide you with specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment plan and your body’s response to the procedure.
