Description
- PDO material : Synthetic & biodegradable polymer material
- Effect of PDO Lifting thread: Designed for Wrinkle removal, collagen production and synthesis of elastin
- Where to be : Lifting the facial tissue (SMAS layers) and fixation
Lifting process:
- Needle injection with PDO Thread
- Take out the needle
- PDO Thread is left in the tissue
Thread lifts have become a minimally invasive alternative to the facelift for patients who are not ready to undergo more aggressive treatment options.
- Although the effects from a thread lift will be temporary and not as dramatic as a facelift, improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can be seen gradually as the procedure stimulates natural collagen production.
- PDO thread is a type of material used for thread lifts.
- PDO, which stands for polydioxanone, is an absorbable polymer that is flexible and durable for minimally invasive thread lifts.
- There are three main textures of PDO sutures: mono, cog, and screw threads. Mono threads are singular, smooth sutures that are anchored to the face that provide a small lift to the face.
- Cog threads have a barbed texture that provide better lift and increased collagen production.
- Screw threads have 1-2 intertwined threads which provide volume to the treated area.
- For patients who only desire skin tightening and rejuvenation, mono threads may be sufficient.
- Patients who desire more lifting and volume will better benefit from textured cog or screw threads.
