PDO Threads Treatment

 

PDO threads are a cornerstone of modern regenerative aesthetics, utilizing versatile and dissolvable sutures that have been a staple in medicine for nearly 40 years. These threads are considered among the safest body implants available, as they are biocompatible and made of the same material found in dissolvable surgical stitches.

PDO threads play a pivotal role in stimulating collagen and elastin production while gradually dissolving over 4–6 months. The structural support provided by new collagen and elastin beneath the skin helps to combat the signs of aging, with results that can endure for 12 to 16 months.

 

Understanding the Two Primary Types of PDO Threads

PDO threads are commonly utilized in two primary categories, each designed for a specific aesthetic goal:

 

1. PDO Lifting Threads

  • Mechanism: These threads incorporate barbs or cones to physically reposition the skin.
  • Action: Placed in the fat layer, they provide structural support and immediately stimulate new collagen production.
  • Ideal Candidates: They are suitable for individuals with good skin quality and mild to moderate sagging, such as mild nasolabial folds or marionette lines.

 

2. PDO Smooth Threads

  • Mechanism: These are painless threads that glide smoothly under the skin.
  • Action: They are designed purely to stimulate collagen production and provide support without lifting or repositioning the skin.
  • Treatment Plan: Typically used in multiple sessions (3–5 sessions every 4–6 weeks) to achieve the desired results.
  • Target Areas: They effectively target specific areas like crow's feet, cheek lines, frown lines, and nasolabial folds.

 

Versatile Applications and Combination Treatments

PDO threads are highly versatile and can be used to treat a wide range of aesthetic concerns on both the face and body.

 

Facial and Injectable Combinations

  • Botox Synergy: PDO threads can complement other treatments, such as Botox, to address deep crevices between the eyebrows that may not be fully resolved with Botox alone.
  • PDO Twist Threads: These threads, known for their coiled shape, offer increased surface area, leading to enhanced collagen production and more significant results. While requiring skill, an experienced professional can adjust the placement to ensure patient comfort.
  • Lip Definition: PDO threads are particularly effective in defining and volumizing the lip border when used as lip fillers.

 

Body Applications

Beyond facial treatments, PDO threads can be used on various body parts, including the arms, legs, and the abdomen, to address concerns such as skin laxity and acne scars.

In summary, PDO threads are a versatile and effective solution for stimulating collagen and elastin, providing essential support to the skin, and addressing various aesthetic concerns in a safe and minimally invasive manner when administered by a qualified professional.
