PDO THREADS

At LDS Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Medicine, PDO Threads offer a refined, minimally invasive approach to facial rejuvenation, designed to support structure, improve definition and enhance natural contour without surgery.

Using advanced thread-lifting techniques and over 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Lucas De Siqueira provides subtle, elegant results that restore harmony and firmness while maintaining your natural facial expression.

What Are PDO Threads?

PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads are medical-grade, absorbable threads placed beneath the skin to gently support tissue, stimulate collagen and improve facial structure.

Unlike surgical facelifts, PDO threads do not remove skin or dramatically alter facial proportions, instead, they offer a subtle lifting effect and long-term improvement in firmness and texture.

As the threads gradually dissolve, they stimulate natural collagen production, leaving behind improved support and smoother, more refined contours.

Lift Support

Gently elevates and supports facial tissue for a subtle, natural lift.

Structure Enhance

Strengthens collagen networks to improve firmness and facial definition.

Contour Refine

Helps refine jawline, midface and overall facial silhouette while preserving natural movement.

How PDO Threads Work

During treatment, medical-grade threads are placed strategically beneath the skin using fine cannulas.

These threads act as a supportive framework, helping reposition soft tissue while stimulating collagen production over time.

This helps:

Improve facial contour

By providing subtle lifting and structural support.

Enhance firmness and elasticity

Through increased collagen stimulation.

Refine jawline and midface definition

For a smoother, more youthful appearance.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Personalised Consultation

Dr. Lucas De Siqueira examines your facial anatomy, skin laxity and goals to create a tailored thread-lifting plan.

Treatment Preparation

The skin is cleaned and numbing is administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

Precise Thread Placement

Threads are inserted strategically beneath the skin to support, redefine and elevate soft tissue.

Immediate Structural Improvement

You may notice instant support, with results continuing to evolve as collagen increases.

Recovery & Follow-Up Care

Mild swelling or tenderness is normal and typically subsides within days.

Aftercare Instructions

For best results, avoid facial massages, vigorous exercise and excessive heat exposure for the first 48–72 hours.

Refrain from wide chewing motions or heavy facial expressions during the initial healing phase.

Follow any personalised aftercare instructions from Dr. Lucas De Siqueira to ensure threads settle securely and collagen stimulation progresses effectively.

Got questions? We've got answers!

Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on thread type, placement and individual collagen response.

Discomfort is minimal, as numbing techniques are used to ensure a comfortable experience.

Some lift is visible immediately, with further improvement developing over the next weeks as collagen forms.

No — PDO threads provide subtle support and improvement, not dramatic surgical changes.

This varies depending on the areas treated and your aesthetic goals. Dr. Lucas De Siqueira will determine this during your consultation.

With over 15 years of clinical expertise, LDS Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Medicine prioritises precision, safety and natural results, using evidence-based techniques to enhance your facial structure without compromising authenticity.
