At Transform Beauty in Horsham it takes about 45–60 minutes under local anaesthetic, with 3–7 days of possible swelling or bruising; results typically last 12–18 months. Results vary.
A PDO Thread Lift is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment designed to improve the appearance of skin firmness, facial definition and mild to moderate skin laxity without surgery. Fine dissolvable PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are carefully placed beneath the skin to provide structural support while encouraging the body’s natural collagen production. At Transform Beauty, every treatment begins with a professional consultation to create a personalised treatment plan based on your facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Your appointment begins with a comprehensive consultation where your practitioner will assess your facial anatomy, skin quality and treatment goals. If the treatment is suitable for you, a personalised treatment plan will be created to achieve balanced, natural-looking results while maintaining facial harmony.
During the procedure, fine PDO threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin using specialised needles after the treatment area has been prepared and local anaesthetic has been used where appropriate. The threads provide immediate structural support while encouraging the skin’s natural collagen production over time. Mild swelling, tenderness and bruising are common during the initial healing period, and detailed aftercare guidance will be provided to support recovery.
