How It Works

PDO Thread Lifting in Melbourne

Matrix PDO Threads are another method of tightening and thickening skin. They are a type of single PDO filament, are smooth and made from Polydioxanone. Matrix PDO Threads are inserted into the sub dermal level, in a mesh-like pattern, to promote the creation of new collagen. The threads activate collagen synthesis which produces a gradual skin thickening, skin tightening and rejuvenation effect.

With this cosmetic injection the threads become a support structure that allows collagen production to increase. Results may be seen in 6 weeks and will continue to improve over 2 to 6 months. While the threads slowly dissolve, their effects may last up to 12 months. It is a proven non-surgical method to subtly tighten and rejuvenate sagging skin on the face, jawline and neck. 

Mono threads area a type of single PDO filament. These threads are smooth and made without barbs which are minimally invasive. The threads are inserted into the skin in mesh like pattern to achieve maximum tightening effects. After entering the skin, the threads activate collagen synthesis for a gradual skin tightening effect. 

Double screw threads have 1-2 interwined threads which provide volume to the treated area for patients who only desire skin tightening and rejuvenation.

Results of PDO Threading

Typical Results Post-PDO Threading Treatment

After receiving a topical anaesthetic, PDO threads will be inserted using a micro-needle or cannula. The treatment is a very customised procedure. You will begin to see results in 6 weeks which continue to improve over the next 2 to 6 month as new collagen is produced. The threads will slowly dissolve however you’ll continue to see results for up to 12 month. The time for your procedure will vary however typically it ranges between 30-60 minutes.

The results are visible but gentle and the procedure is ideal for those wanting an improvement without the expense, downtime and risks associated with invasive facelift surgery. It can be used alone or in combination with fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, and laser to significantly improve the result you are looking for.

Most cosmetic thread therapies are employed for the cheek area but other areas may also be treated. Duration of results will highly depend on the integrity of the tissue into which the threads are placed. Besides, the number of threads used will also determine the longevity of your thread lifting results. Few threads in poor tissue will definitely not give as long an effect as more threads in good quality tissue.

Pre & Post Treatment Care

It is best to avoid medications and supplements which, have a blood thinning effect for at least 1-2 weeks before treatment. These can include aspirin, multi-vitamins and omega fish oils. Like most injectable treatments this is the case to reduce the risk of bleeding, resulting in the appearance of bruises.

There may be some swelling and bruising after either procedure but the degree will generally be much less with thread lifting. Some patients may be able to go straight back to work but we would normally recommend a few quiet days afterwards.

I had micro needling done with dermal clinician Megan. She is very personable, professional and passionate about her work. She gave me a thorough briefing of the procedure and answered all of my questions during the consult. The treatment went very smoothly and I knew I was in safe hands. Looking forward to the results!

Mal was simply the most amazing and best consultation I've ever had here! She takes great care, eases you in the process as it is a bit scary, and very professional. The treatment has worked really well for me so far. I have an Indian dusky skin tone and had many queries and doubts going in. However, all my doubts were clearly answered and I would highly recommend the clinic to anyone looking for laser treatments! The place is very clean, organised, has great ambience and offers great services!
