PDO absorbable suture? What is it?
RESORBABLE MATERIAL:
PDO threads (polydioxanone)
Polydioxanone is used for biomedical applications, particularly in cardiothoracic surgery. It is fully absorbed by hydrolysis within 4 to 6 months and doesn’t create any scar tissue. The foreign body stimulates collagen synthesis and the skin structure created will hold for another 12 to 15 months.
- It’s a synthetic absorbable surgical suture composed of polydioxanone. PDO sutures are completely safe and are routinely used in surgery, even in cardiothoracic surgery (such as open-heart surgery). It’s one of the safest materials that can be implanted in the body.
- The fine suture thread is absorbed within 4 to 6 months and won’t leave you with any scar tissue.
NO CUTS OR INCISIONS. PURELY INJECTIONS!
NovaThreads are needles that are pre-loaded with a PDO thread. Simply insert the whole suture in the interstitial tissue at subdermal level, parallel to the surface of the skin, and pull the needle out.
The PDO thread remains under the skin..
How does a PDO ThreadLift work?The suture threads are inserted into the lower plane of your skin in particular configurations. The threads create a lift or mesh effect to lift or tighten. (You can do both!) Your body naturally reacts to the threads by creating new collagen. Your own new collagen maintains the improvement.
How long does it last?
Expect about a year. Initially you may need a few touch-up thread insertions. Because your skin continues to age, you will continue to experience natural collagen breakdown.
Controlled self-healing
“Selective Inflammatory Response” is the principle behind many aesthetic procedures (such as Fractional Laser, Chemical Peels & MicroNeedling). Skin is very good at repairing itself, and by inserting NovaThreads, we created a self-healing response that’s supported by your own collagen!
Your skin gently reacts to the inserted threads
- During the 4 to 6 months needed to fully absorb the PDO suture, your skin is also repairing itself around it.
- It’s “controlled healing” happening underneath the skin.
- PDO threads are NOT like the older threads that were permanent and problematic.
