What are threads?

 

PDO threads, or Polydioxanone threads, are a type of minimally invasive treatment used in aesthetic medicine to lift and tighten sagging skin. They are made from polydioxanone, a biocompatible and biodegradable material that has been used in medical sutures for many years. Here's an overview of PDO threads:


Composition

  • Polydioxanone (PDO): A synthetic, absorbable material that dissolves in the body over time, typically within 6 months. It is safe and has been used in surgical sutures.


Uses

  • Skin Lifting: PDO threads are used to lift sagging skin on the face, neck, and other areas of the body.
  • Skin Tightening: They help tighten and firm the skin by stimulating collagen production.
  • Wrinkle Reduction: PDO threads can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Facial Contouring: They can improve facial contours and provide a more defined jawline, cheekbones, and neck.


Procedure

  • Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves inserting PDO threads into the subdermal layer of the skin using fine needles or cannulas.
  • Local Anesthesia: A local anesthetic is usually applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
  • Thread Insertion: The threads are inserted in a mesh-like pattern or along specific vectors to provide the desired lift and support.
  • Immediate Lift: The threads provide an immediate lifting effect as they are positioned under the skin.


Mechanism of Action

  • Immediate Support: The threads provide immediate mechanical support to lift and tighten the skin.
  • Collagen Stimulation: As the PDO threads dissolve over the next 6 months, they stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, resulting in improved skin texture, firmness, and elasticity.


Duration

  • Longevity of Results: The results of a PDO thread lift can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on individual factors such as age, skin condition, and lifestyle.


Types of PDO Threads

  • Mono Threads: Smooth threads that stimulate collagen production and are used primarily for skin tightening.
  • Cog Threads: Threads with barbs or hooks that provide a stronger lifting effect and are used for more significant lifting and contouring.
  • Screw Threads: Threads that are coiled around a needle to provide more volume and are often used in areas requiring additional plumpness.


Side Effects

  • Common Side Effects: Mild and temporary side effects may include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the insertion sites.
  • Rare Complications: Rarely, complications such as infection, thread migration, or visible threads under the skin may occur.


Considerations

  • Suitability: PDO thread lifts are suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who are looking for a non-surgical option to improve their appearance.
  • Consultation: A thorough consultation with a qualified healthcare provider is essential to determine if PDO threads are the right treatment for your specific needs and to discuss potential risks and benefits.


Advantages of PDO Threads

  • Non-Surgical: PDO thread lifts offer a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelift procedures.
  • Minimal Downtime: The procedure typically involves minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities relatively quickly.
  • Collagen Production: In addition to lifting the skin, PDO threads promote long-term collagen production for sustained skin improvement.


PDO threads are a popular choice for individuals seeking a minimally invasive option to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate their skin with natural-looking results.
