What it is
This is the regenerative side of the practice — treatments that work with your own tissue rather than against it. PDO threads are fine, dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin: they lift immediately, then stimulate collagen along their length as they dissolve over months. PRP and PRF concentrate the growth factors in your own blood and return them to skin or scalp. Rejuran uses polynucleotides — fragments that support the skin's own repair — to improve elasticity, texture and fine scarring.
None of these are prescription medicines, which is why they can be named and priced openly. Consultation first, as with everything here.
Covers: PDO threads and thread lifts (lifting and collagen-stimulating), PRP and PRF for skin and scalp, Rejuran polynucleotide skin treatment.
What this covers
PDO threads and thread lifts
Lifting and collagen-stimulating threads for early jowling and softening along the jaw and mid-face.
PRP for the skin
Your own platelets, prepared and returned to improve skin quality, brightness and thickness.
PRF for skin and scalp
A slower-release preparation of your own blood, for skin quality and for thinning hair.
Rejuran
Polynucleotide skin treatment to improve elasticity, texture and thickness over a course.
Staged and combination plans
Dr Truong plans across visits so the face changes gradually — never suddenly.
Who it suits — and who it doesn't
It suits
- Early jowling or softening along the jawline and mid-face
- Thinning hair or shedding, in men and women
- Skin that has lost elasticity, brightness or thickness
- Patients wanting lift or regeneration without filler
It doesn't
- Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding
- Active infection or inflammation in the area
- Blood disorders or blood-thinning medication, for PRP and PRF
- Those expecting surgical-level change from threads — we will tell you honestly what they can lift
Risks and what to expect
- Threads can cause asymmetry — one side sitting slightly differently to the other — which usually settles or can be adjusted
- Dimpling or puckering of the skin where a thread sits, and rarely a thread that can be felt or seen beneath the skin — both are reasons to come straight back and have it corrected
- Bruising, swelling and tenderness with any injectable treatment
- Infection is uncommon but possible with anything that breaks the skin — we treat in a medical setting for exactly this reason
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
What happens on the day
- 1Consultation and assessment with the right doctor for your concern
- 2A written plan and price before anything is booked
- 3Treatment — threads under local anaesthetic; PRP and PRF prepared from a small blood draw; Rejuran as a series of fine injections
- 4Review afterwards and, for courses, the next session booked around your calendar
Recovery and aftercare
- Threads: swelling, tightness and possible bruising for two to seven days
- PRP, PRF and Rejuran: small raised bumps or bruising at injection points settle over days
- Avoid strenuous exercise and facial massage for a week after threads
- Scalp PRP: wash your hair the next morning, not the same day
How long results last
A thread lift typically holds twelve to eighteen months as the threads dissolve and collagen takes over. PRP, PRF and Rejuran build gradually across a course — usually three sessions, four to six weeks apart — then maintain with a session or two a year.
