Overview
PDO threads Melbourne at Beauty First Aesthetics in Bundoora offer a non-surgical facial rejuvenation solution that lifts, tightens, and contours the mid and lower face using absorbable polydioxanone sutures. These medical-grade threads are strategically inserted beneath the skin to create an immediate mechanical lift while stimulating long-term collagen production along the thread pathway. PDO thread treatments at our Bundoora clinic target common concerns including sagging jowls, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and loss of jawline definition. The procedure provides a subtle yet visible improvement that continues to develop over several months as new collagen forms around the dissolving threads, delivering natural-looking facial restoration without the downtime of traditional surgery.
How It Works
The PDO threads procedure at our Bundoora clinic follows a precise protocol to ensure optimal lifting and contouring results:
1. Consultation and mapping – your practitioner assesses facial anatomy, marks insertion points, and selects the appropriate thread type and configuration for your treatment goals
2. Anaesthesia – local anaesthetic is applied to the treatment areas to ensure comfort throughout the procedure
3. Thread insertion – using fine cannulas or needles, PDO threads are carefully placed beneath the skin along predetermined vectors to lift and reposition tissue
4. Repositioning and sculpting – threads are gently adjusted to achieve the desired lift in the mid-face, jowls, or jawline area
5. Assessment and aftercare – your practitioner evaluates symmetry, provides post-treatment instructions, and schedules a follow-up review at our Bundoora clinic
Expected Results
After PDO thread treatment at our Bundoora clinic, patients notice an immediate lifting effect that continues to improve over the following weeks. Initial swelling and mild bruising typically resolve within 5-7 days. The full result develops over 2-3 months as collagen production increases around the thread sites. Results from PDO threads generally last 12-18 months, with the collagen stimulation effect persisting even after the threads have fully dissolved. Many patients at Beauty First choose to schedule maintenance treatments to sustain their results. Your practitioner will monitor your progress and recommend the optimal timing for any follow-up sessions.
Benefits
PDO threads Bundoora at Beauty First deliver multiple rejuvenation benefits in a single treatment session:
1. Immediate lifting effect – threads physically reposition sagging tissue in the mid and lower face for instant visible improvement
2. Collagen stimulation – the PDO material triggers natural collagen synthesis that continues for months after treatment
3. Non-surgical alternative – achieves facelift-like results without general anaesthesia, incisions, or extended recovery
4. Natural-looking results – subtle enhancement that maintains facial expression and avoids an overdone appearance
5. Minimal downtime – most patients return to daily activities within 2-3 days of their Bundoora appointment
6. Long-lasting improvement – results typically last 12-18 months as collagen remodelling sustains the lifting effect
