PDO Threading Miami threading is an effective cosmetic treatment to lift and tighten sagging skin tissues. The threads are made of Polydioxanone. It is a treatment that originated from oriental acupuncture therapy to control and improve skin tissue stimulation and muscular contractions. When the thread which contains Polydioxanone is introduced into the deeper layers of the skin, it produces effects in the skin which includes instant skin lifting, skin tightening, and cellular renewal. PDO threads are absorbable and they disappear through simple hydrolysis. Your skin cells are stimulated to produce new collagen and new blood vessels which improve skin microcirculation. The tightening of the skin is as a result of the contraction of fat tissue. PDO thread was approved by the FDA in 2004 and has been used for over 10 years in orthopedic, cardiovascular surgery and wound closure. Benefits of PDO threading Strengthen the contour of the face Reduce roundness Lift sagging skin in the cheeks, jaws and neck Lift the eyebrow Tighten facial skin Ideal candidates for PDO threading Ideal candidates for PDO thread lifts include; People with minimal aging signs Women between 35 and 45 with minimal sagging skin on the neck, cheeks and jaws People who have had some relapse from a previous plastic surgery procedure. Before treatment You may first have to undergo consultations with your medical provider to ensure that you are an ideal candidate for the treatment. You may be given an oral antibiotic known as Azithromycin which you will need to take one hour before the treatment. You may also need to take the antibiotic for two days after the treatment to prevent any chances of infection. You may also be given antihistamine to prevent swelling. Patients who are at risk of Herpes labialis are advised to take prophylactic acyclovir tablets and apply topical cream. This is required most especially if the thread is inserted around the lips. Also, you may be required to take Arnica tablets for about 5 days before the treatment to reduce swelling. It is advised that you stop taking all blood-thinning medications, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and some certain kinds of herbs before the treatment. How PDP threading procedure is done During the procedure, your surgeon may ask you not to eat or drink anything after midnight before the day of the procedure. You may be prescribed antibiotics before the procedure and asked not to take certain medications. Local anesthetic is injected in the treatment area and the PDO thread will then be inserted using a cannula or micro-needle into different layers of the skin. When the thread is inserted, it anchors the skin and lifts it upwards. The threaded needle lifts the subcutaneous tissue and suspends the lift with the thread. Excess threads are then cut off. The barbs on the threads will lock in place which encourages the formation of collagen. There are different types of techniques that can be used for the treatment. One is the closed technique that involves molding the soft tissue over the suture in multiple location points until it gets to the appropriate location for best results. Another technique is the open technique that involves the use of instruments under the skin to create a raw surface so that when the sutures are pulled up, the lift will remain in the appropriate position. The procedure takes 30-60 minutes depending on the areas treated. After the treatment Some patients can see immediate improvement after the treatment with visible lifts in the areas that were treated. The lift will improve more over a period of 2-6 months as new collagen grows between the threads. This further lifts and tightens the skin. The PDO thread dissolves gradually into the skin after 6 months. General aftercare advice: You may need to take ibuprofen to relieve pain and discomfort after the treatment. You are not required to have any other aesthetic procedures such as fillers, toxins, etc, for 7 days after the treatment. You are advised to avoid extreme temperatures, alcohol and anticoagulants for 7 days after the treatment. If you are on prescribed anticoagulants such as aspirin and warfarin, you can continue taking them but be aware that bruising may likely occur. Gently wash the treated area but do not rub or massage the area for 2 weeks after the treatment. Do not overstretch the treated area for 4 weeks after the treatment. Do not have radio-frequency, Laser, IPL or any other heat treatments close to the treated areas for 10 weeks after the treatment. Are there any side effects?
