PDO Threads
What are they? How do they Work?
PDO Threads are a bioreasorbable artificial polymer which undergoes complete hydrolytic degradation. In layman's terms, threads are an absorbable suture similar to those that have been used for over 30 years to close wounds in cardiovascular and orthopaedic surgery. It is a safe material that is completely absorbed by the body over a period of time.
After the application of a topical numbing cream, multiple threads are placed under the skin to provide an instant tightening of the skin whilst stimulating the natural production of collagen. This then stimulates skin rejuvenation, improving elasticity, brightening skin tone and improving fine lines and texture.
The threads themselves are reabsorbed over a period of 3-4mths with the increase in collagen occurring at 2-3mths.
What areas can PDO Threads be used?
Well where do we start? The list is long and includes almost anywhere that skin needs tightening! Under eyes, Frowns & Foreheads, Smokers Lines, Necks, Décolletage, Jawlines, Cheeks and Knees.
Downtime & Results
Although down time is typically minimal with slight bruising, tenderness and swelling at the insertion point, this will vary person to person and will depend on how many threads have been used during treatment. The amount of threads used per treatment can vary from as little as 10 - 200!!
