PDO Threadlift

There are several different types of PDO threads, and the kind you need depends on your specific requirements, which we’ll discuss and evaluate during your consultation with Dr Ahmad.

(A) PDO mono threads:

Sutures that are smooth help to promote collagen synthesis by stimulating it.

(B) PDO cog threads:

To offer support and lift regions of your face, the barbs on these threads penetrate your skin like tiny fishhooks.

(C) PDO screw threads:

These are constructed of one or two entangled threads and are used to assist boost sagging regions on your skin.

The most popular treatment areas are the brows, cheeks (mid-face), jowls, and upper neck. However, Thread Lift can be performed virtually anywhere on the body, such as to lift loose skin on the upper arms, stomach, thighs, and around the knees. It may also help to prevent laugh lines and smokers lines.

The procedure is straightforward and nearly the same as dermal fillers. However, we leave a thread instead of filler inside your skin

Only a trained & licensed medical doctor should perform thread lift in a CQC registered clinic.

After detailed consultation and examination, Dr Ahmad will mark the entry points for the threads. These entry points will be injected with numbing injections to make the procedure comfortable. Threads are inserted into your skin by a cannula or needle. When the thread reaches its endpoint, it will be anchored, and the cannula pulled out of the skin.

The number of threads required for the lift is determined by the area and degree of laxity of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Once the threads are in place, they are adjusted to smooth out the skin and create tension in order to achieve a youthful contour.

The Thread Lift results are obvious and immediate, with the swelling and potential bruising clearing in 1-2 weeks. The effects will continue to improve as your skin continues to generate even more collagen over the next several months, enhancing the effectiveness of the thread lift.

It is possible to continue to improve the results and extend the outcomes even more by adding additional threads down the road.

The PDO threads are absorbed completely in the body over 4 to 6 months period. The lifting and tightening effect can last from 12 to 18 months. Additional threads can be placed later to maintain the effect.

There’s a chance of bruising or swelling when using a needle, although most people experience minimal or no bruising.

It generally resolves in less than one week.
There is some post-op discomfort that usually goes away quickly in most people. If the sutures for some reason become visible outside the skin and need to be removed, new ones can be placed easily if necessary.

The total cost depends on treatment areas and degree of laxity and the number of threads used to correct it. Each thread costs £250.

Absolutely! The results can be enhanced by combining threads treatment with PRP, fillers or Botox anti-wrinkle injections.
