PDO Threads by Croma

As we age, our skin gradually loses its firmness and elasticity, resulting in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. However, advancements in medical aesthetics have introduced innovative solutions to combat these signs of ageing.

One such groundbreaking treatment is PDO (Polydioxanone) threads by Croma. This quick note on a Sunday Morning will provide an overview of how PDO threads work, what they are made of, and the remarkable results you can expect from this minimally invasive procedure.

Understanding PDO Threads

PDO threads are a revolutionary non-surgical facelift and skin rejuvenation technique designed to lift and tighten sagging skin. Polydioxanone, the primary component of PDO threads, is a biocompatible and absorbable material commonly used in medical sutures for decades. The threads are pre-loaded into tiny needles inserted into the skin’s deeper layers to stimulate collagen production and lift the tissue.

Composition of PDO Threads

PDO threads are made of Polydioxanone, a synthetic, biodegradable polymer known for its excellent safety profile. The body fully absorbs these threads over time, leaving new collagen strands supporting the skin’s structure even after the threads have dissolved. This unique composition ensures no adverse or allergic reactions, making PDO threads a reliable and popular choice for skin tightening and rejuvenation.

How PDO Threads Work

During the PDO thread procedure, we strategically insert the threads into the targeted areas of the face using fine needles. The threads act as a scaffold, instantly lifting sagging skin and promoting collagen synthesis around them. As collagen production increases, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more supple, effectively reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. PDO threads can also lift and define areas such as the cheeks, jawline, eyebrows, and neck.

Expected Results of PDO Threads

PDO thread treatments offer immediate and progressive results. Patients usually notice an instant improvement in the treated areas due to the physical lifting effect of the threads. However, the real magic happens over the next several weeks to months as collagen production is stimulated. The skin will continue to improve in texture and firmness, with optimal results becoming more apparent over time.

Some key benefits of PDO threads include the following:

• Natural-looking results without drastic changes – Karen has lips this morning – I have experienced some around my eyes
• Long-lasting effects due to collagen induction
• Minimal downtime and discomfort compared to traditional facelift surgeries
• Customizable treatments tailored to individual patient needs
