PDO Thread Lift in Barry, Penarth & the Vale of Glamorgan: Non-Surgical Skin Lifting & Collagen Boosting

Kate Mullane • July 31, 2025

What is PDO Thread Lifting?



Understanding Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads

PDO thread lifting is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses dissolvable polydioxanone threads to lift and tighten sagging skin. These threads are inserted beneath the skin to provide an immediate lifting effect while stimulating your body’s natural collagen production for longer-term rejuvenation.


How PDO Threads Lift and Tighten Skin

The specially designed barbed threads gently grip and lift the skin, repositioning sagging tissue. Over time, the threads dissolve, but the collagen they stimulate continues to improve skin firmness and elasticity, resulting in a more youthful appearance.


Collagen Stimulation and Long-Term Benefits

Collagen is essential for skin strength and elasticity. PDO threads encourage your body to produce new collagen, which helps maintain the lifted effect and improves skin texture and volume over several months.



Benefits of PDO Thread Lifting for Barry, Penarth, Sully, Dinas Powys, Rhoose, and the Vale of Glamorgan

Minimally Invasive Alternative to Facelift Surgery

PDO thread lifting offers a non-surgical option for those seeking facial rejuvenation without the downtime and risks associated with surgery.


Natural-Looking, Gradual Results

Results develop gradually as collagen builds, providing a subtle, natural lift that avoids the “overdone” look.


Safe and Approved Procedure

PDO threads are widely used and approved for cosmetic use, with treatments performed by experienced practitioners at Heidi Rose, serving clients across Barry, Penarth, Sully, Dinas Powys, Rhoose, and the Vale of Glamorgan.



The PDO Thread Lift Procedure at Heidi Rose

Initial Consultation and Suitability

Your treatment journey begins with a personalised consultation to assess your skin condition, discuss your goals, and determine if PDO thread lifting is right for you.


The Thread Insertion Process

Using fine needles, PDO threads are inserted into targeted areas beneath the skin. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes and is performed under local anaesthetic for comfort.


Treatment Areas and Customisation

Common treatment areas include the cheeks, jawline, neck, and brow. The procedure is tailored to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.


Recovery Time and Aftercare

Most clients experience mild swelling or bruising that resolves within a few days. Normal activities can usually be resumed quickly, with detailed aftercare guidance provided.



Comparing PDO Thread Lift to Other Treatments

PDO Threads vs Dermal Fillers

While fillers add volume to specific areas, PDO threads physically lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen, offering a different approach to facial rejuvenation.


PDO Threads vs Surgical Facelift

PDO thread lifting is less invasive, with shorter recovery and fewer risks, making it an attractive option for those not ready for surgery.


Other Thread Types: Silhouette Soft, APTOS

Different thread types offer varying lifting and collagen-stimulating effects. Heidi Rose practitioners will recommend the best option based on your needs.



Potential Risks and Disadvantages

Common Side Effects

Temporary swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort are common and typically resolve quickly.


Rare Complications

Infections or thread migration are rare but possible; choosing an experienced provider like Heidi Rose minimises these risks.
