AESTHETIC SKIN TREATMENTS
PDO Thread Lift Treatment
Lift, tighten and contour, without surgery!
Sagging skin, loss of firmness, or early signs of jowls? A PDO thread lift is a safe and effective non-surgical lifting treatment that restores definition to your face, neck, or jawline by stimulating collagen and gently repositioning sagging tissue.
At MAK Clinic Knutsford, all thread lifts are performed by Nurse Prescriber Practitioners, ensuring medical-level precision, safety, and bespoke aesthetic results tailored to your facial structure and concerns.
How a PDO Thread Lift Works at MAK Clinic
Collagen-stimulating threads that lift and support
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are medical-grade sutures that dissolve naturally over time while stimulating collagen, elastin, and fibroblasts in the skin. When placed strategically, they lift and tighten sagging tissue for a refreshed, youthful contour.
Treatment process:
In-depth consultation and facial mapping with a Nurse Prescriber
Topical and injectable anaesthetic for comfort
Insertion of threads using a fine cannula
Instant lifting effect, with continued improvement over 8–12 weeks
Natural collagen support that lasts 12–18 months
Why patients choose PDO threads:
Immediate lift with progressive skin improvement
Minimally invasive with no general anaesthetic
Little to no downtime—return to daily activities next day
Can be combined with fillers or skin boosters for full-face rejuvenation
