Decades of medical use

Three effects, at once
All of this works together to give you enhanced skin texture, fewer fine lines and wrinkles, and more elastic skin.
Instant lifting
It mechanically results in instant skin lifting.
Instant tightening
It contracts fat tissue to result in instant skin tightening.
Cellular renewal
It promotes collagen production and neovascularization to renew your skin at the cellular level.
Before & after
About 45 minutes
PDO threads are needles pre-loaded with a thread. The needle is inserted at the subdermal level, parallel to the surface of the skin, and then pulled out — the thread remains under the skin.
- The session Approximately 45 minutes, with minimal discomfort and recovery time. Once completed, you can return to work and go about your day.
- How long threads last Longevity depends on the thickness of the threads and your body's rate of metabolism. Most people find that threads have dissolved in 6–9 months.
- How long results last The effects of tightening and collagen stimulation can remain for 1–2 years or more.
Is it right for you?
The right candidate for a PDO Thread Lift is someone concerned with mild to moderate skin laxity on the face and neck. Skin laxity due to aging can occur in your mid 30s to mid 50s.
If you are under 35, there may be other treatments that are a better fit for your skin. If you are over 55 and suffer from severe skin laxity, then a surgical facelift may be a better option. Dr. Kovalik will be able to advise during your consultation.
