PDO WIRES
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are an advanced, minimally invasive aesthetic treatment option, used to rejuvenate the skin and provide a non-surgical lifting effect. They stand out for being safe, effective and capable of offering natural and long-lasting results. Here is an overview on PDO wires:
Composition and Structure:
PDO threads are made from polydioxanone, a biocompatible and biodegradable material that has been used in cardiac and ophthalmic surgeries for many years.
The threads are thin and strong, with a cone or needle-shaped structure at one or both ends, designed to anchor into the skin and provide structural support.
Action and Working Mechanism:
When PDO threads are inserted into the skin, they work in several ways to promote rejuvenation:
Lifting and support: The threads are inserted into deep layers of the skin and tensioned, creating an immediate lifting effect.
Collagen stimulation: The presence of threads on the skin stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, promoting an improvement in the firmness and elasticity of the skin over time.
Structural support: The threads provide structural support for areas that have lost volume or are sagging, helping to restore facial shape and contour.
Indications:
PDO threads are indicated for a variety of aesthetic concerns, including:
- Sagging facial and neck skin.
- Loss of volume in the cheeks, chin and eyebrows.
- Wrinkles and expression lines.
- Improved facial contour definition.
- Eyebrow lift and correction of eyelid ptosis (droopy eyelids).
Procedure:
The PDO thread procedure is usually performed in a doctor's office by a qualified professional, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
Before treatment, a consultation is held to assess skin health, discuss patient expectations, and determine the appropriate treatment plan.
During the procedure, threads are carefully inserted into the skin using fine needles or cannulas.
Depending on the areas treated and the patient's goals, the threads can be inserted in different directions and depths to obtain the best results.
Results and Duration:
- The results of the PDO thread treatment are visible immediately after the procedure, with a noticeable lifting effect.
- Over the following weeks and months, results continue to improve as the threads stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin.
The duration of results may vary from person to person, but generally lasts one to two years.
Risks and Considerations:
- Although PDO threads are considered safe when performed by qualified professionals, there are some potential risks associated with the treatment, such as bruising, swelling, infection, or displacement of the threads.
- It is important to choose an experienced and qualified professional to perform the procedure and follow all post-treatment care instructions to minimize the risk of complications.
PDO threads offer an innovative and effective approach to skin rejuvenation, providing natural, long-lasting results without the need for surgery. If you are interested in this treatment, it is recommended that you schedule a consultation with a qualified medical professional to discuss your options and determine if PDO threads are right for you.
