PersonalConsultation First
Treatment begins with a consultationClear guidance. Realistic expectations.Your plan is built around candidacy, goals, and safety.
Our Approach
PDO threads are best for the right anatomy and the right expectation.
Threads do not replace a surgical facelift and are not appropriate for every pattern of laxity. Consultation evaluates tissue quality, facial structure, goals, alternatives, and whether modest improvement is likely.
Consultation first
Appropriateness and alternatives are assessed before treatment.
Individualized settings
Technique and intensity are selected for your anatomy and goals.
Clear expectations
Benefits, limitations, recovery, and risks are discussed directly.
Long-term thinking
Your plan can be staged and adjusted as your needs evolve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Know before you book.
Threads dissolve over time, while collagen support may persist beyond their presence. Duration varies by thread type, anatomy, technique, lifestyle, and individual response.
No. PDO threads provide a more modest, temporary result and cannot reproduce surgical lifting or remove excess skin.
Many patients resume routine activity relatively quickly, but bruising, swelling, tenderness, tightness, or temporary contour irregularity can occur.
Sometimes, but sequencing depends on anatomy and goals. Lifting, volume restoration, and skin-quality treatment solve different problems.
Potential risks include infection, asymmetry, visible or palpable threads, dimpling, extrusion, nerve or vessel injury, and unsatisfactory results. A medical consultation is required.
