💢 What is PDO thread?

PDO self-dissolving thread is a type of biological suture that has the ability to completely self-dissolve after a period of time implanted under the skin. It is widely used in the field of aesthetics, especially in facelift procedures. When using this type of thread to implant into the skin, you can completely trust its safety, as it will completely self-dissolve into CO2 and H2O through the natural degradation process within about 6 months from the time of implantation. PDO self-dissolving thread stimulates collagen production, helping reduce wrinkles, improve stretch marks, and make the skin firmer. This process lasts from 180 to 240 days after being implanted into the body. Polydioxanone threads are divided into 3 types as follows: Single-strand Polydioxanone thread: This type of thread is smooth and effectively rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen production. Cog thread: This type of PDO thread has branches like small saw blades to grip the skin to support facial tightening and correct sagging. Screw thread: This type of Polydioxanone thread is composed of 1 or 2 intertwined threads. Screw PDO threads are used to restore the structure of areas of depressed skin. 💪 Advantages of PDO thread: PDO thread lift has many advantages when used in aesthetic and beauty procedures. Here are some advantages of PDO self-dissolving sutures: Complete self-dissolving: PDO threads have the ability to naturally degrade into CO2 and H2O after about 6 months. This makes this type of thread safe for the body and does not cause long-term side effects. Mechanical strength: PDO self-dissolving threads have extremely good mechanical strength, helping maintain aesthetic effects for a long time. Thus, the thread will maintain its original shape and structure, without deforming or losing its effectiveness. Easy thread implantation process: Each PDO thread is sterilized with EO gas before use, so the skin tightening process will be performed quickly and safely. 🌟 What is PDO thread lift?

The threads will be inserted from a single point but in different directions, creating a fan-shaped structure. Sandwich technique: PDO self-dissolving threads are inserted into and on the skin surface from the same point, then directed into different layers of the skin. The order of thread implantation will follow the skin layers from top to bottom. Zigzag technique (Sewing): PDO thread lift will be injected into different layers of the skin in a zigzag pattern. Threads are inserted upward and downward to touch all skin layers. Mesh technique: Polydioxanone threads will be inserted into the skin from different points, then after being inserted, they will form a mesh of horizontal and vertical vectors. 💆 How to care for the skin after a PDO thread lift?
