What Are Lifting Threads?
PDO Threads using Lidocaine is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure aimed at lifting and tightening the skin. During the treatment, biodegradable PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are inserted into the skin to create a supportive structure, promoting collagen production and skin tightening. Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, is often used to minimize discomfort during the procedure. The threads dissolve over time, leaving behind a firmer and more youthful appearance. Pre and post-care instructions are provided to optimise results and minimise side effects, ensuring a safe and effective treatment experience.

How to prep for treatment:
- Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: Steer clear of smoking and alcohol consumption for a week before the procedure to prevent skin dehydration and ensure optimal treatment outcomes.
- Supplement Avoidance: Stop taking omega fish oils, vitamin E supplements, garlic, ginseng, and similar supplements at least two days before the treatment to minimize the risk of bruising and promote better healing.
- Medication Adjustment: Discontinue blood-thinning medications like Aspirin, Naproxen, Ibuprofen, or Diclofenac to reduce bleeding risk during the procedure. Consult your healthcare provider before stopping prescription blood thinners.
- Avoid Intense Activities: Refrain from high-intensity exercises, sauna visits, or steam room sessions before treatment to lower the risk of complications such as bruising during the procedure.
