PDO threads aftercare

To enjoy the best results from your PDO Threads treatment and to avoid any adverse reactions it is important to follow your aftercare instructions. 

Immediately after your treatment, you may experience mild tenderness, bruising, or stinging in the treatment area. This is common and should resolve over the next week. For swelling and bruising relief, you can apply a cool compress to the treatment area for a few minutes at a time. If you require pain relief, you can take paracetamol. 

If you experience excessive pain, swelling, discolouration, or obvious thread protrusion please contact us. 

You may begin to notice the effect of your treatment immediately, however, new collagen production occurs for 2 to 6 months. 

For the 24 hours following your PDO threads appointment:

• Keep the area clean

• Avoid oil-based skincare and makeup 

For 7 days following your PDO threads appointment:

• Limit sun exposure

• Avoid anti-inflammatory drugs, including aspirin and ibuprofen 

• Avoid vitamin E, fish oil and ginkgo biloba

• Avoid excessive alcohol

• Avoid strenuous exercise (walking at a moderate pace is ok)

For the 2 weeks following your PDO threads appointment:

• Avoid excess sun exposure 

• Avoid dental treatments

• Avoid saunas, spas and ice baths
