What is a PDO Thread?
A polydioxanone (PDO) thread is made up of solid protein that is thinner than a piece of hair. Once placed under the skin it increases blood flow and stimulates elastin and collagen. PDO threads actually lift sagging skin and is a less invasive alternative to a face lift!
Why PDO Threads?
- Builds your own natural collagen
- Quick and minimally invasive treatment
- High safety profile
- Immediate results that improve over time
Who is a good candidate for PDO thread treatment?
PDO threads are so versatile they can be used in a wide array of treatments! This makes anyone a good candidate for PDO threads.
How does a PDO thread lift work?
- PDO thread is injected under the skin and released once needle is removed
- The thread then causes an increase of blood flow to that area and begins to produce collagen
- After 6-12 months the thread is fully absorbed leaving new collagen in its place
How do PDO smooth threads work?
- Several PDO threads are inserted under the skin in a hashtag pattern to ensure uniform collagen production
- The thread will increase blood flow to the area and create new collagen and elastin production
- The thread is then absorbed after 3-6 months leaving a new production of collagen in its place
How long does it take to see the effects of PDO Lifting threads?
Results are immediate after treatment and continue to improve as thread is absorbed. PDO Lifting threads are fully absorbed after 6-12 months and leave behind a new production of collagen that gives the skin a firmer lifted appearance.
How long does a PDO thread lift treatment take?
Treatment can take up to an hour and gives you instant results with minimal down time.
NovaThreads are FDA-cleared, absorbable sutures placed under the skin during a thread lift procedure, to physically lift the tissue and enhance collagen production. NovaThreads work especially well to tighten skin on the neck, lower and midface, and jawline, to restore the face’s youthful V-shape.
NovaThreads can be inserted along the edge of the lips for a nonsurgical lip lift. This procedure, called lip threading, perks up the Cupid’s bow and helps define the lips’ border.
These threads are made of a synthetic biodegradable material called PDO (polydioxanone), which is also used in an absorbable surgical suture NovaThreads consist of hypodermic needles, preloaded with these PDO sutures.
The needles are inserted just under the skin, parallel to the surface, and leave the thread behind when they’re pulled out.
The PDO sutures dissolve over time, allowing new collagen to grow in their place. Skin is lifted immediately, while firmness increases over time.
