PDO Mono Threads

PDO Mono Threads are slender, flexible threads constructed from polydioxanone, a widely used dissolvable suture material. These threads are strategically inserted into the skin to achieve skin tightening and rejuvenation effects. Their primary function is to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin within specific regions of the face and neck.

By creating a supportive scaffold within the skin, PDO Mono Threads contribute to enhancing skin elasticity and firmness over time. This process helps in achieving a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

BENEFITS OF A Q-SWITCHED YAG LASER

Lifting and Tightening: They effectively lift and tighten the treated area, leading to improved skin firmness and a more youthful appearance.
Collagen Stimulation: By stimulating collagen production, they help enhance skin elasticity and suppleness.
Reduction in Fine Lines and Wrinkles: PDO Mono Threads can diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in smoother skin.
Natural-Looking Results: The treatment provides natural-looking results, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the treated area.
Non-Surgical Alternative: It serves as a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelift procedures, offering rejuvenating effects without the need for surgery.
Minimal Downtime and Discomfort: Patients typically experience minimal downtime and discomfort, making it a convenient option for cosmetic enhancement.

HOW IT WORKS

PDO threads are meticulously inserted into the skin using fine needles. Once in place, they establish a supportive structure within the skin. These threads initiate the skin's innate healing response, kickstarting the production of collagen and prompting tissue contraction. This cascade of events ultimately results in improved skin tightness, reduced sagging, and the lessening of fine lines and wrinkles.

As time progresses and the threads gradually dissolve, the benefits of increased collagen production persist, offering lasting improvements to the skin's texture and appearance. Remarkably, you can anticipate observing noticeable results within approximately six weeks after your treatment.

The PDO threads undergo metabolic breakdown through hydrolysis around six months following the procedure. Subsequently, they are excreted from the body as carbon dioxide and water, completing their natural dissipation process. This ensures the safety and biocompatibility of the treatment.

FAQ

WHAT SKIN CONCERNS DOES IT TREAT?

PDO Mono Threads are versatile and can be used to treat various areas, including:

Mid-face
Accordion lines (lines that form around the mouth)
Eyebrow lifting
Oral commissures (corners of the mouth)
Naso-labial folds (lines running from the nose to the mouth)
Jawline
Under-chin region

These threads offer a comprehensive solution for addressing multiple facial concerns and enhancing overall facial aesthetics.

WHAT ARE THE KEY FEATURES?

Skin Tightening with PDO Threads:

The PDO Thread treatment represents an innovative approach to enhancing skin texture and tightness. These threads are skillfully inserted into the subdermal level of the skin, forming a mesh-like pattern. This strategic placement encourages the production of new collagen, resulting in multiple benefits.

By promoting collagen production, PDO Threads effectively address skin laxity and texture concerns. Additionally, they create volume and provide support, imparting a subtle lift to areas of the face and body that may exhibit visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and skin laxity.

It's important to distinguish PDO Threads used for skin tightening from PDO Thread Lifts, which employ long barbed threads specifically designed to lift tissues. The choice between these treatments depends on the patient's unique goals and desired outcomes.

WHAT WILL I EXPERIENCE DURING THE PROCEDURE?

During the PDO Mono Thread treatment, a fine needle or cannula is employed by the practitioner to insert the threads into the skin at precise points. The number of threads and their specific placement will be tailored to the individual treatment plan and the patient's unique needs. Typically, these threads are strategically positioned beneath the skin's surface to provide support and lift to the targeted areas.

Patients may experience a mild tugging or pulling sensation as the threads are inserted and positioned. However, the use of local anesthesia helps minimize any discomfort.

The duration of the procedure can vary depending on factors such as the treatment area and the number of threads required. Generally, it may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour or more to complete the treatment.

WHAT ARE THE POST-PROCEDURE EXPECTATIONS & CARE?

Expectations:

Following the procedure, patients may experience mild swelling, redness, and the possibility of bruising at the insertion points. These effects are typically transient and tend to resolve within a few days.

Downtime:

Noticeable results usually become apparent approximately six weeks after the treatment. These results continue to improve over the subsequent 2–6 months as new collagen is generated.
Typically, the results of PDO Thread treatments last for 1–2 years, contingent on the patient's self-care and maintenance.
Around six months post-procedure, the threads undergo metabolic breakdown through hydrolysis. Subsequently, they are excreted from the body as carbon dioxide and water, finalizing their natural dissolution process.
