Neocollagenesis & Mechanical Tissue Lifting Science
PDO Thread Lifts and Non-Surgical BBL represent the cutting edge of non-surgical structural lifting. A non-surgical facelift utilizes Polydioxanone (PDO) threads—a biocompatible, sterile synthetic polymer that has been used in cardiothoracic surgery for decades. These threads are designed with micro-barbs that mechanically grip and elevate sagging subcutaneous tissues along vectors mapped during consultation. Once inserted, they stimulate a localized foreign body reaction, triggering neocollagenesis. Fibroblasts migrate to the thread matrix, laying down Type I and Type III collagen. Over 6 months, the threads dissolve safely via hydrolysis, leaving behind a natural collagen scaffold that keeps the face lifted for 12 to 18 months.
Similarly, our Non-Surgical Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) utilizes injectable bio-stimulators (such as poly-L-lactic acid or PLLA). When injected into the deep dermal or subcutaneous layers of the buttocks, PLLA stimulates the body's natural collagen production. Over several weeks, this micro-particle matrix gradually restores volume, lifts sagging tissues, and smooths hip dips, offering a safe, non-surgical body contouring alternative for clients across Port Harcourt.
How It Works
Our patient-centered approach ensures safety, comfort, and beautiful results at every step.
Vector Mapping & Design
We evaluate your skin laxity and facial/body symmetry. We mark precise vector lines to guide the lifting threads or bio-stimulator placement.
Anesthesia & Comfort
We administer local anesthesia at the entry points. This numbs the treatment area completely, ensuring a comfortable and pain-free procedure.
Placement & Lift
Using fine micro-cannulas, we gently place the PDO threads or PLLA bio-stimulators into the target layers, immediately lifting and contouring the tissues.

You will see an immediate lifting effect. The threads dissolve naturally within 6 months, but the new collagen matrix created keeps your skin lifted and contoured for 12 to 18 months.
We apply local anesthesia to the insertion points, which numbs the pathways. You may feel a mild tugging or pressure sensation, but the treatment itself is highly tolerable.
It is a non-surgical alternative to a traditional fat-transfer BBL. It uses injectable collagen stimulators to encourage your body to naturally build volume and lift the buttocks over a series of treatments.
