About the treatment
What is Thread Lift?
Fine dissolvable threads (PDO) are placed under the skin with a thin needle or cannula. They give an immediate lift and, as they dissolve over months, prompt new collagen.
Threads suit mild to moderate sagging and are often combined with fillers or HIFU for a fuller result.
