Rediscover Your Natural Contours with Advanced Thread Lifting Technology
PDO Thread Lift
Experience the transformative power of PDO thread lifting, where medical precision meets aesthetic artistry. At The Old Rectory Clinic, our doctor-led approach delivers natural-looking facial rejuvenation through this innovative, minimally invasive treatment that lifts, tightens and stimulates your skin’s own regenerative processes.
What is PDO Thread Lifting?
PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lifting represents a breakthrough in regenerative aesthetics, offering a sophisticated alternative to surgical facelifts. This treatment involves the careful placement of medical-grade dissolvable threads beneath the skin’s surface to create an immediate lifting effect whilst stimulating collagen production for long-term rejuvenation. The threads work on multiple levels: providing instant structural support to sagging tissues, encouraging your body’s natural healing response, and gradually dissolving over several months whilst leaving behind renewed, firmer skin.
This versatile treatment addresses various concerns, including jowls, nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks, drooping brows, and neck laxity. The results appear both immediate and progressive, with the full benefits emerging over the following weeks as your skin naturally regenerates from within. Unlike surgical interventions, PDO threads offer facial revitalisation with minimal downtime and a natural-looking outcome that enhances rather than alters your features.
Your PDO Thread Lift Journey: Our Four-Step Process
Understanding what to expect helps you approach your treatment with confidence. Here’s how we ensure exceptional results and a comfortable experience throughout.
Personalised Medical Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive face-to-face assessment with our doctor, who will examine your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic aspirations. We'll create a bespoke treatment plan, explain the procedure in detail, and ensure you have complete clarity before proceeding. Before and after photography will be stored with your medical records for completeness.
Preparation and Comfort
Before treatment, we thoroughly cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical anaesthetic to maximise comfort. Our practitioners use premium medical-grade fillers containing integrated anaesthetic, ensuring a comfortable experience whilst maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and safety protocols.
Expert Thread Placement
Using ultra-fine cannulas, your doctor skillfully inserts the PDO threads along predetermined vectors to achieve the desired lift and support. Each thread is positioned with meticulous attention to facial balance, symmetry and natural movement.
Comprehensive Aftercare Guidance
Immediately following your treatment, we provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific procedure and lifestyle. You'll leave with direct contact details and scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure you're delighted with your transformation.
Who Would Benefit from PDO Thread Lifting?
This treatment proves ideal for those experiencing early to moderate facial sagging who prefer a non-surgical approach to rejuvenation. You might be an excellent candidate if you’re noticing loss of definition along your jawline, descent of cheek tissues, deepening of facial folds, or general skin laxity that makes you appear more tired than you feel.
PDO threads particularly suit individuals seeking natural-looking enhancement rather than dramatic transformation, those who wish to delay surgical intervention, or anyone looking to complement their existing aesthetic treatments. The treatment works beautifully for clients in their thirties through to their sixties, though suitability depends more on skin quality and concern severity than age alone. During your consultation, our medical team will assess your facial structure, skin condition and aesthetic goals to determine whether thread lifting will deliver the results you envision.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do PDO thread lift results last?
The lifting effect from PDO threads typically lasts between 12 to 18 months, though individual results vary based on factors such as age, lifestyle and skin condition. Whilst the threads themselves dissolve within four to six months, they leave behind newly formed collagen that continues to provide structure and firmness, extending the benefits well beyond the threads’ presence.
Is PDO thread lifting painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure thanks to local anaesthetic, often describing a sensation of gentle tugging or pressure rather than pain. Any post-treatment tenderness usually resolves within a few days and responds well to over-the-counter pain relief if needed.
When will I see results from my thread lift?
You’ll notice an immediate improvement in facial contours directly following your treatment, though some initial swelling may temporarily mask the full effect. The most impressive results emerge gradually over two to three months as collagen production increases and your skin naturally tightens around the supporting structure created by the threads.
Can PDO threads be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Thread lifting works beautifully alongside treatments such as dermal fillers for volume restoration, anti-wrinkle injections for dynamic lines, and skin boosters for overall quality improvement. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the optimal treatment combination and timing to achieve your aesthetic goals harmoniously.
