PDO Threads Before and After
The Science Behind MINT™ PDO Threads
MINT™ threads stand apart thanks to their cutting-edge engineering:
-
720-degree helical barbs: Unlike traditional threads with single-direction hooks, MINT™ threads feature multidirectional barbs that anchor firmly in the tissue for more secure and even lifting.
-
-
Ultra-strong USP gauge: Clinical studies show MINT™ threads are up to 4x stronger in tensile strength than older PDO designs, offering greater lift and support.
-
Anchoring effect: The multidirectional barbs ensure the thread stays in place, lifting tissue both vertically and laterally without shifting post-procedure.
-
Stimulation of collagen types I & III: These are the types responsible for skin firmness and elasticity, stimulated as the threads dissolve.
-
FDA-cleared & CE-marked: MINT™ threads meet the highest global medical safety standards.
This combination of mechanical lift and biologic collagen stimulation makes MINT™ the gold standard in PDO thread technology — and the reason Dr. Chike uses them exclusively at Hampstead Aesthetics.

PDO Thread Lift Faqs
What are PDO Threads?
A: PDO threads are a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that involves the use of tiny threads made of a biodegradable material called Polydioxanone (PDO). These threads are inserted under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. They are then gently pulled to lift and tighten sagging skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin texture and tone. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally and stimulate the production of collagen, resulting in further skin rejuvenation. They are a safe and effective alternative to surgical facelifts and can be used to treat various areas of the face and body. The results typically last for 12-18 months. At Hampstead Aesthetics, we offer a range of treatments to help you achieve your desired look.
Scientific Basis of PDO Thread Lift
-
Collagen Stimulation: Once inserted, the threads stimulate collagen production.
-
Vital Protein: Collagen maintains skin's structure and elasticity.
-
Improvement: Enhances skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.
-
Absorption: Threads are absorbed, leaving new collagen scaffolding.
Mechanism of Action
-
Insertion: Threads placed in the subdermal layer with fine needles.
-
Anchoring: Threads anchor and lift skin immediately.
-
Healing: Stimulates the natural healing process.
-
Collagen/Elastin: Increases collagen and elastin production.
-
Results: Improved skin elasticity, texture, and rejuvenation.

What are the features of MINT™ PDO Threads?
MINT™ PDO threads utilise innovative patented technology with barbs configured in a 360-degree helical pattern, offering superior strength and durability. This design allows the threads to anchor securely within the skin, providing immediate lifting and contouring effects.
The PDO (Polydioxanone) material is biocompatible and safely absorbed by the body, promoting collagen production as it dissolves. This collagen stimulation enhances skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, delivering long-lasting results with minimal pain and trauma. The minimally invasive procedure typically requires only 30-45 minutes, making it an efficient alternative to traditional surgical facelifts.
How long do PDO Threads last?
The length of time that threads last depends on several factors, such as the patient's age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Generally, PDO Threads can last anywhere from 9 months to 2 years, depending on the individual case. At Hampstead Aesthetics, our experienced practitioners will assess your skin and recommend the best treatment plan for you, including the appropriate number and type of threads to use.
Are PDO Threads safe?
PDO threads are considered a safe and effective treatment when performed by a trained and licensed professional. Like any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects that may occur, such as bruising, swelling, infection, or thread migration. However, these risks can be minimised with proper pre- and post-treatment care. Our experienced team will thoroughly assess your candidacy for PDO threads and provide you with all the necessary information to make an informed decision about your treatment.

Can you smile after a PDO Threadlift ?
Yes, you can smile after treatment. While some patients may experience slight swelling or bruising, this typically subsides within a few days. After the treatment, you can continue to smile and express your emotions as normal.
How much does a thread lift cost ?
The Threadlift procedure can range from £800 -£3000. The cost will depend on how many threads are needed to get the desired result. For a full Face Threadlift the average cost is £1800. Using MINT PDO Threads - we tend to use x4 Threads each side
Is a thread lift painful ?
The treatment is generally minimally painful, with local anaesthesia or numbing cream used to reduce discomfort during the procedure. Patients often feel some pressure or tugging as the threads are inserted. Afterward, mild discomfort, soreness, and tightness are common, along with some swelling and bruising. These symptoms typically subside within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol and cold compresses (ice packs ) can help manage any post-procedure discomfort. Individual experiences may vary based on pain tolerance and treatment area .
What's the difference between Silhouette soft vs. PDO Thread Lift ?
The key differences between the 2 products..
Material: Silhouette Soft uses PLLA (poly-l-lactic acid), while PDO Thread Lift uses PDO (polydioxanone).
Mechanism: Silhouette Soft threads have cones for anchoring and lifting, while polydioxanone threads rely on a network of barbs or smooth threads for lifting and collagen stimulation.
Longevity: Silhouette Soft generally offers longer-lasting results (18-24 months) compared to polydioxanone threads (12-18 months).
Application Areas: While both can lift and contour, Silhouette Soft is particularly effective for mid-face and neck lifting, whereas PDO offers more versatility for various facial and body areas. Both are biocompatible, natural materials and are FDA approved.
What are the common areas for threadlift treatment ?
Cheek and Midface Lift: Restore volume and lift the midface, enhancing natural contours for a youthful look.
Jawline and Neck Lift: Lift and smooth sagging skin, defining the jawline and tightening the neck for a structured appearance.
Brow Lift and Eyelid Rejuvenation: Achieve a subtle brow lift and rejuvenate the eye area, reducing droopy eyelids and refreshing the look.
Tear Trough and Under-Eye Rejuvenation: Address under-eye hollows and dark circles, lifting and supporting the delicate under-eye area.
Nasolabial Fold Reduction: Lift and fill nasolabial folds, smoothing lines from the nose to the mouth for a youthful appearance.
Marionette Lines and Chin Contouring: Reduce lines from the mouth to the chin and improve chin definition, enhancing facial contours.
Body Contouring: Lift and tighten sagging skin on the arms, abdomen, and thighs, improving body contours.
What is the ideal patient for a PDO thread lift?
The ideal candidate is generally aged 30-55 with mild to moderate skin laxity, in good health, and a non-smoker. They should have realistic expectations and no active skin conditions in the treatment area. This minimally invasive procedure suits those seeking subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery.
