pdo mono threads

PDO (Polydioxanone) Smooth Threads are a type of cosmetic procedure used for non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation. These threads are made from a biodegradable material called polydioxanone, which has a long history of safe use in surgical sutures.

The PDO Smooth Threads are inserted into the skin using a very fine needle. Once inserted, they provide mechanical support to tighten the and stimulate collagen to the skin. Smooth threads do not have barbs or cones and do not lift the skin, they do create a supportive structure and matrix to support the skin. This structure stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.

Benefits:

Improves texture, tone and tightens the skin.

PDO Mono Threads

The PDO Smooth Threads have several benefits. Firstly, they provide the mechanical support to the skin. This can improve the appearance of sagging skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, the threads stimulate the production of collagen and elastin over time, further enhancing the skin's firmness and elasticity, and improving the texture and tone. The biodegradable nature of the threads means that they gradually dissolve over several months, but the collagen production stimulated by the threads can last longer, providing ongoing improvements to the skin. 

PDO Smooth Threads are considered a safe procedure with minimal risks when performed by a trained professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there can be potential side effects or complications, such as infection, thread migration, or temporary dimpling of the skin. It's important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if PDO Smooth Threads are suitable for your specific concerns and to ensure that the procedure is performed safely.

Overall, PDO Smooth Threads offer a non-surgical option for skin tightening and rejuvenation. They provide results overtime while stimulating natural collagen production for longer-lasting improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.

The threads are then inserted into the skin at specific locations determined by the desired outcome. The number of threads used and the treatment area depend on individual needs and goals.
