PDO Threads
Non-surgical lifting to support and redefine the facial contour.
PDO threads are a non-surgical lifting treatment that helps support and redefine the facial contour. Beyond the immediate lifting effect, they stimulate collagen production over time, contributing to firmer skin in the treated area.
As the skin loses firmness, the facial contour tends to become less defined. PDO threads are an alternative for those seeking support and definition without undergoing surgery, with a shorter recovery period.
The effect of these threads has two dimensions. On one hand, they create a lifting and supporting effect as soon as they are positioned. On the other, they act as a stimulus that leads the skin to produce new collagen over time, helping to prolong the result.
This treatment requires experience and precision. At Aestmedic, the decision to proceed with PDO threads is always preceded by a careful assessment, to ensure it is the right option and that expectations are realistic.
How it works
After assessment, the threads are introduced under the skin using a minimally invasive technique. Once positioned, they produce a supporting effect and gradually stimulate collagen formation around them. The threads are absorbable and are naturally absorbed by the body over time.

Local anaesthesia is used for greater comfort. There may be some tenderness and swelling in the first days, which are part of the normal recovery process.
