What is botulinum toxin (Botox)?
Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, is a non-surgical injectable treatment used to relax targeted facial muscles. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and prevents new lines from forming, resulting in a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

What is a PDO thread lift?
A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that uses polydioxanone (PDO) threads to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. It stimulates collagen production while providing an immediate lifting effect, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
What areas can be treated with a PDO thread lift?
PDO thread lifts can be used to treat the cheeks, jawline, jowls, neck, eyebrows, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other areas affected by skin laxity.
How does a PDO thread lift work?
PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The threads create a supportive structure that lifts sagging skin while stimulating natural collagen and elastin production as they dissolve.

Results from a PDO thread lift typically last 12–18 months. Longevity depends on the type of threads used, treatment area, and individual lifestyle factors.
