The skin of the neck, abdomen and knees are often undergo a lot of dynamic changes throughout the day. Postural changes mean that over time the skin can show signs of aging. To target these signs we recommend a combination of treatments to target and replenish the aging skin.
At the heart of these treatments are smooth, thin PDO, or polydiaxanone, MonoThreads. In order to rejuvenate the skin multiple threads are placed in a mesh like fashion to target sagging and thinning of the skin. The controlled and sustained stimulation of the skin causes the body to produce collagen usually over a period of 6-8 weeks until the threads completely dissolve.
This sustained production of skin boosting proteins means the skin naturally replenishes itself from within to reduce the appearance of fine lines and reveal a smoother, more youthful appearance. In addition, a sequence of 3-6 sessions of this treatment will also enable long term prevention of aging.
All Skin Rejuvenation Threads treatment can be combined with other treatments (profhilo, anti-wrinkle injections, mesotherapy and Morpheus8) and carried out in less than an hour using local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort with minimal downtime. The effects of these techniques are typically permanent after 3-6 sessions.

PDO stands for polydioxanone which is a commonly used suture material by surgeons across the world in a variety of procedures. In aesthetics, there are two main types of PDO threads that both tighten and rejuvenate the skin.
The hair thin PDO threads begin to dissolve after 6 weeks and in their place your skin will lay down extra collagen to boost the skin turgor and elasticity.
Yes, the thread is dissolvable so over time your body will absorb it fully but until then the PDO thread will remain in place and create tightness, after it dissolves it creates a biological stimulus of collagen neosynthesis in the skin.
You will receive a local anaesthetic injection similar to that used by your dentist, this will numb the area and make the treatment pain free. The effects of the numbing injection will last up to 6 hours.
The two work differently. Dermal fillers replace or add volume to areas of the face where it’s needed. PDO threads lift droopy skin. Depending on each individual case the best results may be achieved through a combination of the two.
The treatment is relatively safe, with minor complications such as swelling and bruising however there is a slightly increased risk of infection with PDO threads compared to other treatments, there is a small risk of nerve damage as well a negligible risk of scarring. During your appointment your doctor will explain the measures you must take to avoid and reduce the likelihood of these occurring.
As with all aesthetics treatments, consumption of alcohol should be avoided for 12 hours before and after treatment, the same is said for smoking but for 6 hours. Specific to thread lifts, you should avoid strenuous exercise for 2 weeks after the treatment. Some clients maybe advised to go on a liquid diet for 3 -5 after the treatment. Depending on your medical conditions some clients who are diabetic or more prone to infection should take antibiotics for a short period after the treatment.
Other post treatment precautions will depend on which area is treated and will be discussed with you in depth during your clinic appointment.
Skin Rejuvenation Threads is not recommended for pregnant women, those who are unable to avoid strenuous exercise for a period of two weeks such as athletes or those working in the fitness industry. Those with obesity are discouraged from having this treatment.
For those wanting to build on their results, multiple treatments 6-8 weeks are recommended. With each treatment the results will last longer with an annual or bi-annual maintenance recommended for the majority of clients.
Dr Saleki is the sweetest and most professional Dr ever! I was really nervous and she completely put me at ease for my fox eye thread lift!
I was a bit nervous, Dr Mahsa was lovely, she couldn’t of been more professional and kind. I had nose threads and the procedure was quick and apart from a bit of discomfort with the anaesthetic, the rest was totally pain free. I am 3 days post treatment and still a bit swollen but other than that everything has been very smooth and I feel fine. I’m excited to see the settled results. Would I recommend, 100% yes.
First time I every had any treatment and it was a brilliant experience, The Dr was very Calm and compassionate and clear. I read about a treatment threading but she said I didn’t need it and suggested fillers and fat dissolving which has work for me, definitely go again even though it took me over 2hours to get there.
