Facial threads

PDO & COG recovery threads

Anti-aging, firming and natural lifting without surgery

Facial lifting threads are a modern, non-invasive treatment for improving sagging and sculpting facial features, with no scalpel or recovery time. The most commonly used are PDO and COG threads, which are applied individually, depending on the needs of the face and the desired result.

What are PDO Threads?

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are absorbable surgical sutures, which are inserted into the skin with very fine needles and cause mild tightening and activation of collagenogenesis. They do not cause a lift, but offer an improvement in skin firmness and texture with a natural and subtle effect.

Suitable for:

Fine facial and neck lines
Incipient sagging in the cheeks or contour
Tightening of the mandible, midface and frontal area
Texture enhancement in areas such as the neckline

What are COG Threads?

COG threads are also absorbable, but have hooks or ‘teeth’ that attach to the tissues and allow for mechanical lifting of the face. They offer an immediate lifting effect, which improves over time as collagen production around the threads is activated.

Suitable for:

Visible relaxation of the middle and lower third of the face
Correction of cheekbone and mandibular angles
Correction of nasolabial and depression lines
Improvement of the facial oval without surgery

Advantages of thread therapy

✔ Directly visible result (especially with COG)

✔ Natural lifting without incisions or stitches

✔ Activation of collagen production

✔ Absorbable & safe materials

✔ Short treatment duration (30-60 minutes)

✔ Combined with botox, filler, PRP, skin boosters

The procedure with a few words

1.Sterilization and treatment area design

2.Application of local anaesthesia for comfort

3.Thread placement with special cannulas or needles

4.Mild massage and monitoring of the result

The treatment is well tolerated and the patient can return to daily activities the same or the next day, with mild swelling or ecchymosis resolving in a few days.

How long does the result last?

PDO threads: natural improvement that lasts 6-8 months, with the possibility of repetition
COG threads: immediate lifting that lasts 12-18 months, with gradual absorption and collagenogenesis

Duration depends on skin type, technique, thread quality and patient's lifestyle.COG threads: immediate lifting lasting 12-18 months, with gradual absorption and collagenogenesis

Are they safe?

Yes. The yarns are certified, absorbable and medically approved materials, widely used in aesthetic medicine. Treatment is performed exclusively by a qualified physician to ensure safety, symmetry and optimal aesthetic results.

PDO and COG threads offer a non-invasive, natural and personalized solution for facial lifting and rejuvenation, safely and with no downtime.
