PDO Threads

​Lift, Tighten, and Rejuvenate Your Skin Naturally

At Obra Aesthetica in Richmond, Victoria, we offer advanced PDO Threads treatments designed to lift and tighten your skin, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. This minimally invasive procedure stimulates collagen production for long-lasting, natural results.

What Are PDO Threads?

PDO Threads (Polydioxanone threads) are medical-grade sutures inserted beneath the skin to lift and support sagging areas. These threads dissolve over time, stimulating your body’s natural collagen production for a firmer, more contoured appearance.

Key Benefits of PDO Threads:

  • Lifting and Tightening: Instantly lift sagging skin and improve facial contours.

  • Collagen Stimulation: Enhance skin elasticity and firmness through natural collagen production.

  • Minimally Invasive: Achieve significant results without the need for surgery.

PDO Threads are ideal for treating:

Nasolabial folds

Cheeks and mid-face lifting

Jawline definition

Neck tightening

Marionette lines

Aftercare:
