PDO Threads in Sydney
PDO Threads help improve skin texture, elasticity, and firmness, without the need for incisions.
This minimally invasive treatment works below the surface of the skin to stimulate collagen,
resulting in improvements in skin smoothness, tightness, and elasticity over time.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO stands for polydioxanone, a biocompatible material that has been safely used in medical sutures for decades.
PDO Threads are fine, absorbable threads that are inserted into the skin’s deeper layers to stimulate collagen, tissue tightening, and contouring.
Once inserted, these threads form a supportive matrix within the skin, which promotes tissue tightening and skin rejuvenation. While the threads gradually dissolve over several months, the PDO Threads benefits continue to improve for up to 6 months post-treatment, with results that can last for up to 12 months depending on individual response.

PDO Threads vs Thread Lifts – What’s the Difference?
While both PDO Threads and PDO Lift Threads are designed to rejuvenate the skin, they target different concerns and deliver different outcomes. Understanding how they work can help you choose the right treatment for your goals.
PDO Threads
These are smooth, fine threads placed in a mesh-like pattern under the skin to stimulate collagen production. They are suitable for improving skin quality, elasticity, and firmness, particularly in areas with mild laxity or visible skin texture concerns. Mono Threads do not lift sagging tissue, but they do help to tighten and revitalise the skin gradually over time.
PDO Lift Threads (Cog Threads)
These threads are equipped with small barbs or “cogs” that anchor into the deeper tissue layers of the skin. They are designed to physically lift and reposition sagging skin, making them a better choice for those with moderate to advanced laxity,especially around the cheeks, jawline, or jowls.
When you’re not set on which one yet, it’s best to have a one-on-one consultation with our team first to understand your concerns and craft a plan that works best for your lifestyle.
Potential Side Effects of PDO Threads
While PDO Threads are a low-risk, non-surgical treatment, it’s important to understand that, like any cosmetic procedure, some temporary side effects may occur.
Some Side Effects May Include:
- Mild swelling or puffiness at the treatment area
- Bruising around the insertion points
- Redness or sensitivity where threads are placed
- Tenderness or tightness as the skin adjusts
- Small bumps or irregularities that usually smooth out as healing progresses
The risk of getting infection may also happen after the treatment, especially when proper hygiene is not practiced. It’s important to keep your treatment site clean to minimise this risk and promote optimal healing.
Important: Before your treatment, we will conduct a full medical consultation to assess your suitability for the treatment, review your health history, and ensure the treatment plan aligns with your needs and expectations.
After your appointment, you’ll receive personalised aftercare instructions to support optimal healing and results.
