What are PDO Threads?

PDO threads are FDA approved biocompatible sutures that are inserted beneath the skin.

PDO Threads have a dual role in that they both support and lift skin tissue whilst stimulating the production of collagen. PDO threads are colourless, microfilament sutures made from polydioxanone (PDO), a material that has been used for over 40 years in various clinical applications.

5 Star Reviews

“I’ve been visiting Dr Chike for a year now and I can say he is absolutely fantastic! Have had several procedures over that time, and with each one he’s excellent at softening all my concern areas whilst maintaining a very natural appearance. Louisa is also a pleasure to deal with, and always on hand to arrange appointments for me at the drop of a hat. Cannot recommend this practice enough, with 6 of my friends now visiting regularly!”
