WHAT ARE PDO MONO THREADS?
A Gold Coast PDO thread lift treatment is a non-surgical treatment which uses a fine specialised thread to stimulate the natural production of new collagen, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tighten the skin and enhance skin texture and facial contour. Common treatment areas include the nasolabial fold, jawline, corners of the mouth, marionette lines, neck, stomach and knees.
WHAT ARE PDO COG THREADS?
A PDO Cog thread lift is a non-surgical treatment, which uses a fine specialised thread to pull your skin tighter to lift and smooth the skin on your face, neck or jowls. PDO Cog Threads with barbs are the only Thread Lift that provides an immediate physical lifting effect, as well as a biological lift by stimulating the natural production of new collagen.

Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications if possible for a period of 2 weeks before treatment. Medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, green tea, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen and NSAIDS have a blood thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after the anti-ageing injections. Facial tenderness is also common for up to 4 days but should not require more than mild analgesic.
It is normal to experience some pulling for the first 3-4 days after having PDP Cog threads but uncommon for this to last more than a week. It may be best to avoid very chewy foods for the first 2 days. Cold Pack on face as tolerated and required. Any asymmetry after 14 days may be managed with a further thread or filler.
