PDO threads for the décolletage in London

The vertical lines that deepen on the chest with sun and sleeping on your side, and the crepey skin between the collarbones and the bust, are treated in our practice with smooth threads laid in a mesh. The threads sit under the skin and thicken it as they dissolve and collagen forms around them. No maker page names the décolletage and no study measures it, and we say so plainly. Placed by our doctor under local anaesthetic in about 30 to 45 minutes at PDO Threads Clinic, 8 Exhibition Road, with the plan in writing at a free consultation.

What it does on the chest

The thin skin thickens and the vertical lines soften over the months as collagen forms around the threads. The mottled colour of sun damage on the chest is pigment, which the threads do not change, and the doctor names the light treatment at our sister clinic that does. The result fades over about a year as the threads dissolve.

The procedure and after

Local anaesthetic, the smooth threads placed through a fine needle in a mesh across the chest, in about 30 to 45 minutes. Swelling and tenderness for a week, bruising in some; sleep on your back for about a week, no massage, hard exercise or sun on the chest for two weeks. The how it works page sets out each step.

Who it suits

Adults with crepey skin and vertical lines on the chest and skin with some spring. The usual exclusions apply: pregnancy and breastfeeding, an active infection, a bleeding disorder or blood thinners that cannot be paused, an autoimmune disease without the doctor's advice first, keloid scarring. The neck page covers the neck above, and the full guide the rest.
