Hiko Nose Thread Lift
What are HIKO nose threads? HIKO comes from the words ‘high’ and ‘ko’ (nose in Korean). HIKO nose threads are dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads skillfully placed under your skin to encourage new collagen to grow and maintain the shape of your new nose. The unique type of thread used provides a cumulative effect in your nose bridge to lift, contour, and shape your nose bridge and nose tip for up to 24 months. As collagen is produced overtime, your skin is tightened, and there is also a semi-permanent effect with this treatment due to the collagen produced. If you are looking to enhance your side profile without the risks associated with dermal fillers to the nose area, HIKO threads are an amazing alternative for a more contoured, defined and slender nose.

PDO Threads
microdermabrasion, dermal fillers, lip filler, cosmetic tattoo, anti wrinkle injection
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are absorbable sutures inserted underneath the skin in which gradually dissolve and are replaced by a collagen matrix that helps plump and lift the skin to reduce fine lines and slow down the signs of aging. There will be a general tightening of the skin once performed, followed by rejuvenated and more youthful skin in 8-12 weeks and ongoing results for up to 6 months. Volumising PDO threads are a new treatment using cutting-edge technology that can restore volume utilising just threads. A dense matrix of PDO threads are administered to your treatment area to lift tissue and add volume to sunken areas using your own collagen and elastin. If you want to improve your skin texture and quality and reduce the sagging of your skin, PDO threads are what you are looking for.
