About This Treatment
PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lifting offers a non-surgical solution for facial lifting and skin tightening. Using biocompatible surgical threads that naturally dissolve over time, this treatment provides immediate lifting effect while stimulating long-term collagen production for lasting skin improvement.
At Alpha Medical, our practitioners utilise various thread types—smooth threads for collagen stimulation, barbed threads for lifting, and cog threads for maximum repositioning. This versatile approach allows for customised treatment addressing mild to moderate skin laxity without surgery.
