PDO Thread Lift Brisbane

PDO Thread Lifts, icon 2

At Dr Scott Horsburgh’s Brisbane clinic, PDO thread lift treatments may be considered for patients who want to address certain facial or neck changes without surgery. This approach can be used to address changes in skin firmness or texture.

What Is a PDO Thread Lift?

A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical option that uses dissolvable threads placed under the skin in specific areas. These threads provide support in the chosen areas and gradually break down over time. The method can be tailored to address particular areas discussed during your consultation.

Concerns That May Be Addressed

PDO thread lifts may be considered for:

  • Changes in skin firmness on the face or neck
  • Areas where the skin has changed in position over time
  • Changes in skin texture in specific areas

Whether this approach is suitable for your needs will be discussed during your consultation.

Book a Consultation

If you are considering PDO thread lifts, you can book a consultation with Dr Scott Horsburgh. This appointment gives you the opportunity to discuss your concerns, the available options, and what to expect.

Treatment Approach

The way PDO thread lifts are performed will depend on the areas assessed during your consultation. Dr Scott Horsburgh will determine the method based on your individual assessment. The details of the approach will be explained before any treatment takes place.

What to Expect Before the Treatment

Before your appointment, you may be asked to avoid certain medicines that thin the blood for several days before treatment, and alcohol on the day of your appointment. Specific instructions will be provided during your consultation.

What to Expect After the Treatment

Patients may experience swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising in the treated area after the procedure. The length of time these last will vary from patient to patient. Care instructions will be provided, which may include avoiding pressure on the treated area for a certain period after the procedure.
