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
