Collagen Facial Threading Duncan
What is a PDO Thread Lift?
Collagen facial threading is available with or without anchors is an innovative and cutting-edge natural treatment used to lift and rejuvenate the skin without surgery or anchors. The procedure involves inserting dissolvable threads made of biocompatible material, such as Polydioxanone (PDO), into the skin using fine needles. These threads stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks of youthful skin. What’s also very exciting is that we are one of the few clinics to bring PDO Thread Lifts to Vancouver Island!

What does a PDO Thread Lift do?
The achieved results of collagen facial threading are impressive, with a noticeable improvement in skin tightness and firmness. As collagen is produced and skin tissues regenerate around the threads, it leads to a lifted and more youthful appearance. The threads can be strategically placed in various areas, such as the cheeks, jawline, neck, and eyebrows, addressing specific concerns and achieving a natural-looking lift. The threads are placed in the hair follicle, no incision site required (does not require any cutting of the skin, therefore no scaring will occur).
How many sessions or treatments do I need to have?
Just one treatment per area of threading that you choose, the results last 18-24 months.
How long does it take to see results after my treatment?
Patients typically start to see initial effects shortly after the procedure, but the full results become more apparent in the following weeks as collagen production continues to improve the skin's texture and tone. As for thread absorption, the PDO threads gradually dissolve over time, stimulating collagen synthesis in the process. This natural breakdown ensures there are no permanent materials left in the body.
What’s the difference between a PDO Thread Lift without anchors vs. with anchors?
Threads without anchors and threads with anchors are both advanced cosmetic procedures used to lift and rejuvenate the skin, but they differ in their techniques and desired outcomes.
Threads Without Anchors: Threads without anchors, also known as non-anchor threads or smooth threads, are made of biocompatible materials such as Polydioxanone (PDO). These threads are inserted under the skin using fine needles to lift sagging tissues and stimulate collagen production. The threads work by creating a supportive structure within the skin, promoting natural collagen synthesis, which helps to improve skin elasticity and texture over time. The threads gradually dissolve and are naturally absorbed by the body, leaving behind a network of collagen fibers that provide ongoing support to the skin. The desired effect of threads without anchors is to lift and tighten sagging skin, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Threads With Anchors: Threads with anchors, also known as barbed threads, are similar to non-anchor threads but have tiny barbs or anchors along their length. These barbs provide additional support and help anchor the skin in place, creating a more immediate and noticeable lift. The insertion of barbed threads is done using fine needles, and the barbs allow the threads to be secured and hold the skin in the desired lifted position. As with non-anchor threads, barbed threads stimulate collagen production, but the presence of anchors enhances the lifting effect and provides more significant and immediate results. Over time, the threads with anchors are gradually absorbed by the body, leaving behind the newly formed collagen for continued support and lasting effects.
In summary, both threads without anchors and threads with anchors are effective treatments for lifting and rejuvenating the skin, but threads with anchors provide a more pronounced and immediate lifting effect due to the presence of barbs or anchors along the threads. The choice between the two procedures depends on individual patient goals, the degree of sagging, and the desired level of lift and rejuvenation.
