Revitalise Your Look With
Our Collagen Boost
Collagen Boost threads are fine collagen threads which are inserted within the layers of the skin, that stimulate and accelerate your own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid providing long-term results that continue to improve over time. The treatment uses PDO smooth threads and is ideal for anyone looking to improve the quality, tone, and texture of their skin.
*For all threads procedures, we advise clients to book an injectables consultation appointment to assess your suitability.

How it Works
Collagen Boost PDO threads involve the placement of smooth, absorbable threads underneath the skin. The threads contain polydioxanone (PDO) which is a biodegradable polymer that is slowly absorbed by your body over time. The threads dissolve over time, creating collagen in the treated area, resulting in a plumper and more youthful complexion.
Collagen Boost treats include face, brow, jaw and chin or tear trough.
Results
Results may be visible immediately but generally develop over time as the PDO threads stimulate collagen production. Results last for up to 12 months as the threads naturally dissolve and are broken down by your body. Annual treatments are recommended for optimum results.
