Introducing a NEW treatment to tighten, strengthen and revitalize your skin!

Short PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a special medical grade thread that is thinner than hair and made of a protein complex.  This procedure is
advised for skin tightening, skin thickening and to improve skin texture thus reducing the
appearance of wrinkles. Mono threads can be used: Mid-face, Accordion lines, Eyebrow,
Oral commissures, Nasal-labial folds, Jawline and the under-chin region along with some
parts of the body. 

How to they work?
Research has confirmed that PDO relaxes tendons and muscles, whilst a foreign body reaction (which is the body's natural immune responses) improves the blood flow to the area to stimulate neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen to the skin). Neocollagensis will mean the skin will become slightly more thicker (in a positive way), but mostly tighter and sometimes can achieve a lift in areas where a lift can be targeted, or with the use of particular threads.

When can I see results?
Immediately after treatment there will be evident swelling and bruising. This can give you an idea of how it might look when the threads have had a chance to build new collagen. The results of this treatment can be seen between 8 and 12 weeks.

How long will it last?
Short PDO threads can last anywhere from 1.5 - 2 years. This of course is dependent on the self-care of the patient. For example: Radical changes in weight or general health will of course impact
longevity. By using cosmeceutical grade skin care and maintaining skin health will help to prolong the longevity in results.

How long will the PDO remain in the skin?
The PDO threads will be metabolised in the skin through hydrolysis 6 - 8 months after the procedure. They are then excreted as Co2 and water.

Is there anything I have to stay away from after having this treatment done?
Yes there is. The PDO threads can be dissolved used heat based therapies, such as lasers and saunas. Minimal heat therapies such as LED Light Therapy and facials are safe to still have, and are recommended to get optimal results and longevity in the results.

Is this treatment safe?
This treatment is one of the safest injectables treatments available. There are risks of bruising and swelling, but they are the highest risks involved with this treatment so long as your injector is trained correctly.

History of Threads
In the late 1990s, Georgian Plastic Surgeon Dr Marlen Sulamanidze invented the technique
of using barbed suture threads for lifting effects in the facial area. This technique was
further refined over time by his sons.
Variations of the technique and thread material have been introduced ever since. Bone
resorption, facial fat changes and skin laxity all contribute to facial sagging as we age. Long threads
were designed to lift and counteract sagging. Short threads were designed for the purpose
of skin firming and rejuvenation, with very minimal lifting effect.
Our PDO Mono and Long threads are produced by 21st Century Medical, who are a global
leaders in the manufacturing and production of aesthetic PDO thread needle system.
