PDO threads provide a safe and efficient method of lifting the face, neck and some areas of the body in one session under local anaesthetic. There are different thread types and finer ones can be used to provide “a scaffold” under lines and crepy skin too e.g. back of hands, cheeks or crow’s feet. Dr Bea Brookes FRCS will advise whether PDO or Silhouette SOFT threads are the best option for you. Some type of lift is better achieved with the PDO threads and some of the face does better with this. GENERALLY patients with a heavier skin are more suited for this than the Silhouette SOFT threads but an individual opinion is best.
