Expect mild swelling and bruising for the first few days. Full recovery usually takes 1-2 weeks.

Same treatment as PDO thread lift. Thread lifting is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses dissolvable threads to lift and tighten sagging skin, providing a structural skin support to lift and tightening for skin. The threads are carefully inserted into the skin to create a subtle lifting effect and stimulate collagen production, which improves skin texture and elasticity over time. This technique is often used as an alternative to a traditional facelift, offering patients a less invasive aesthetic treatment that may address concerns such as drooping cheeks, loose jawlines, wrinkles, and sagging skin on the neck and brows. The most common type of thread used is PDO (Polydioxanone), which not only lifts the skin but also contributes to long-term skin rejuvenation. Thread lifting is ideal for individuals looking for a quick, effective way to achieve tighter, smoother skin with minimal downtime.

Elucell provides consultation and treatment options for PDO mono threads and PDO thread procedures in Melbourne. These procedures may be considered for selected patients following comprehensive medical assessment and discussion of individual treatment goals.

PDO thread procedures involve the placement of dissolvable threads beneath the skin using fine needles. Where clinically appropriate, they may be used with the intention of repositioning and supporting soft tissue.

Suitability varies between individuals, and a consultation is required before any treatment recommendation is made.

All medical procedures carry risks. Outcomes vary between individuals.

A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves placing dissolvable sutures beneath the skin using fine needles. These threads are positioned with the intention of supporting and repositioning soft tissue in selected areas of the face.

Thread procedures may be discussed for concerns relating to changes in skin support in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, neck or brows, depending on individual assessment.

One commonly used material is polydioxanone (PDO), a type of dissolvable suture used in medical procedures. The threads gradually dissolve over time, and individual tissue response varies between patients.

Thread procedures do not involve surgical incisions or deep tissue surgery. Suitability depends on individual anatomy, treatment goals and medical history, which are assessed during consultation.

PDO thread procedures are minimally invasive cosmetic procedures that involve placing dissolvable threads beneath the skin. As with all medical procedures, potential risks and complications may occur.

Possible complications may include:

• Asymmetry

• Visible or palpable threads

• Skin dimpling or irregularities

• Infection

• Swelling or bruising that persists longer than expected

• Thread migration or discomfort

The likelihood and severity of complications can vary depending on individual anatomy, healing response and the specific procedure performed.

A comprehensive consultation with a qualified medical practitioner is important to assess suitability, discuss potential risks, and review alternative options. During consultation, patients should be provided with clear information about the procedure, recovery considerations and expected variability in outcomes.

If complications occur, management options will depend on the nature of the issue and individual circumstances. These may include monitoring, medical treatment or other appropriate interventions where clinically indicated.
