Thread PDO- More Than Just a Lift

A PDO thread lift isn’t about trying to make you look like a different person. It’s about supporting and repositioning the tissues, improving definition and giving the face a more lifted, refreshed appearance — while also stimulating the skin’s natural collagen response around the threads. PDO threads are made from polydioxanone (PDO), a material that has been used safely in medicine for many years. The threads are gradually absorbed by the body, while the collagen response they stimulate can continue to support the skin over time.

Top Benefits of Thread PDO Lift

Lifts & Defines

Give gravity less of a say in how your face looks.

Sharpens the Jawline

Give your jawline more definition and less droop.

Softens Sagging

Give loose, tired-looking skin less opportunity to take centre stage.

Restores Structure

Put a little more structure back where time has taken it away.

Our Thread PDO Lift Process

1

Let’s Start With Your Face

We start by looking properly at your face — what’s bothering you, where you’ve lost definition and what you actually want to improve.

2

Getting Everything Ready

Before we start, we’ll go through the plan, mark the areas being treated and make sure you’re comfortable. No rushing, no guesswork and no adding threads just for the sake of it.

3

Putting the Support Where It’s Needed

This is where we get to work. The PDO threads are carefully placed into the tissue to provide subtle support, improve definition and stimulate your skin’s own collagen response.

.

4

We’re With You Throughout

You’re not left lying there wondering what’s happening. We’ll talk you through the treatment, explain what we’re doing and check in with you throughout.

5

Looking After Your Results

We’ll give you clear aftercare advice, including what to avoid and how to look after the treated area while everything settles. No complicated faff — just what you actually need to know.

Questions You May Have

What is PDO threads?

PDO stands for polydioxanone, a biodegradable and absorbable medical-grade material. PDO threads are placed beneath the skin to provide support and a subtle lifting effect, while stimulating collagen production as they gradually dissolve.”

What areas can PDO threads treat?

PDO threads can be used to improve areas of skin laxity and loss of definition, including the jawline, lower face, cheeks and neck. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your individual anatomy and concerns.

Will PDO threads give me a facelift?

No. PDO threads are not a replacement for a surgical facelift. They provide a more subtle, non-surgical lifting and contouring effect and are generally most suitable for early to moderate skin laxity.

Will the treatment hurt?

Local anaesthetic is used to help keep you comfortable during the procedure. You may experience some pressure, pulling or mild discomfort during treatment, followed by tenderness or soreness afterwards.

How quickly will I see results?

Some lifting and contouring may be noticeable immediately following treatment, although swelling can temporarily affect the appearance. As the healing process progresses and collagen is stimulated, the appearance continues to settle and improve.

How long do PDO thread results last?

Results vary between individuals depending on factors such as age, skin quality, lifestyle and the degree of skin laxity. Thread-lift results are temporary and may last approximately 1–3 years, although this varies considerably.

Will I have swelling or bruising?

Yes. Some swelling and bruising is expected following treatment and can vary from person to person. You may also experience temporary tenderness, tightness or pulling sensations while the tissues settle.

Can I go back to work after my treatment?

Many people can return to normal activities relatively quickly, depending on the extent of treatment and how they feel. We will provide you with individual aftercare advice, including guidance on exercise and activities during the healing period.

Are PDO threads safe?

PDO threads are widely used as absorbable medical-grade sutures. However, as with any medical aesthetic procedure, there are potential risks. These can include bruising, swelling, bleeding, infection, asymmetry, tenderness, lumpiness or irregularities. Your individual risks will be discussed during your consultation.

Is there downtime after treatment?

Our aim is always to create a subtle and natural-looking result rather than an over-lifted appearance. The amount and positioning of threads will be determined according to your facial anatomy, skin quality and desired outcome.

Who is suitable for PDO threads?

PDO threads may be suitable for people with mild to moderate skin laxity who want improved definition and lifting without undergoing surgery. A consultation is required to assess whether threads are appropriate for you and whether another treatment may provide a better result.

Can PDO threads be combined with other treatments?

PDO threads can form part of a wider facial rejuvenation plan and we often add in some radiesse or HA fillers at the same tie for optimal results.

Do the threads stay in my face permanently?

No. PDO threads are absorbable. They gradually break down and are absorbed by the body over time, while the collagen response they stimulate can continue to support the treated area.

Do I need a consultation before treatment?

Yes. A consultation allows us to assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, degree of laxity and expectations. We can then determine whether PDO threads are appropriate and recommend the most suitable treatment approach for you.

What are the costs?

Our PDO thread lift starts from as little as £450 for lower or upper face for threads only.

Lower face and 2.4 mls HA filler £750

Upper face and 2.4 ml HA Filler £750

Upper face and 3 ml Radiesse £995

Lower face and 3 ml Radiesse £995

As a mum, watching your child struggle with acne can be tough. You see their confidence wobble and the frustration they feel each time a new pimple appears. Your own heart hurts as you watch them try to hide their magnificent, perfect face! So I spent a fortune trying every skincare regime I could find online or in chemists and the confidence was dropping lower and lower and my heart hurt a little bit more. Finally I knew I needed help and spent a day on the phone and found Re-Nu and booked an appointment with Kirsteen. My son adored her - so kind and caring to both of us, she really explained everything to him, gave him (and me) hope and she took time explaining that taking care of their skin is essential, not just for their appearance but for their overall health and self-esteem. He is a happier and more confident boy for having visited Re-Nu and his skin has improved dramatically.
