PDO is an effective cosmetic technique that lifts and tighten sagging skin tissues by inducing collagen production. It involves the implantation of fine, absorbable polydioxanone threads (similar to those used in medical suturing) into the subcutaneous layer of the skin using small needles. These threads remain implanted in the skin causing micro-injuries that stimulate collagen synthesis and tissue contraction. After six months, the threads will be absorbed into the body leaving new collagen in their place.
The procedures is usually carried out using local anaesthetic, and takes between 45 and 60 minutes depending on the treatment area. Side effects are minimal but may include swelling and bruising that lasts 2-3 days, and patients can continue with normal activities immediately after.
PDO therapy can be used on the cheeks, brow, jawline, neck, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, arms, thighs and abdomen. The lifting effect is at its peak after 6 months when collagen has formed around the threads, and lasts between 2-3 years.
Specification
·Mono Type made with Polydioxanone (PDO) suture is widely used in skin rejuvenation and local firming purpose for various body and face areas. ·Twin with 2 strands of sutures enables 2 threads together. That means more collagen induction with less treatment.
·Tornado with 2 strands of threads twisted together.
·Screw with spiral shape suture can lead to localized lifting and internal volumizing. And it widens spaces that the thread is contacted to the skin so that it allows more stimulation of collagen.
·Double Screw with 2 strands of screw shaped sutures can hold skin more tightly and stimulate collagen twice more than normal Screw type.
·3D COG with 360 ° directional cogs acts to hold the skin like hook when the thread is pulled.It can be applied in the area of face for lifting.
