Advantages of Nose Threads
PDO or PCL threads is a minimally invasive delicate procedure to change the to produce a smoother skin, with an enhance nasal bridge. PDO threads are a less invasive alternative to a surgical rhinoplasty to rejuvenate the nose without the risks and downtime associated with surgery. This thread procedure involves very fine threads placed within the nose but placed on top each other to create a pyramid formation that supports and change the nasal skin. It will not offer the same results as a surgical rhinoplasty but is a good option for a more subtle rejuvenation.
It has a dual function requirement: 1. Lift and 2. Regeneration
The lifting effect is immediate and discreet as it is the result of compressing and elevating tissue at the time of adjusting the suture.
After inserting the suture, the doctor applies slight pressure on the treated area. In this way, the doctor reshapes the surface of the skin and makes it visibly smoother.
The regenerative effect is gradual and natural : Polydioxanone, the principal component of PDO threads is a polymer known in the medical field for many years. Once the suture is applied, the Polydioxanone acts on the deeper layers of the skin and helps increase the volume of saggy areas, restoring shapeliness to the face gradually and perfectly naturally.
1. Non surgical
2. Quick
3. Relatively painless
4. Effective for PDO (6-12months) or PCL (18-24months)
5. Immediate, improves over time

The procedure takes around 30-45 minutes. After a small local anaesthetic, we insert the suture under the skin to a depth of about three to five millimetres. No incision is required, as the suture is inserted using a fine needle.
Once the suture has been applied, slight compression of the tissue is placed to reshape it by hand and to obtain the desired lifting effect.
Threads may be used as a single treatment or in combination with fillers.
After the treatment, as with any cosmetic treatment, some slight swelling, redness or bruising may sometimes be observed, but with a few days these disappear.
There may be some wrinkling of the skin that disappears very quickly
Post-procedure you may experience some slight bruising and swelling, which usually settles in a few days. Recovery is generally quick, with most patients returning to work the next day or after a few days rest.
For 2 weeks post treatment, do not undergo any dental surgery, and avoid facial and beauty treatments.

I can’t recommend EA clinic enough. I have had several procedures there now (vaser liposuction, mole removal and peels) and between Gill and Dr Anthony I have been so well looked after. They are consistently professional, passionate and clear in the options they provide you. Whether it is consultation, procedure or aftercare Dr Anthony always has so much time to make you feel at ease and fully informed. Both Gill and Dr Anthony are also friendly which is so lovely and welcoming as a patient. Overall I feel so much happier and confident since seeing the team at EA Clinic.
