19G 120mm forehead Barbed PDO Threads With Blunt Cannula

Developed in Korea, PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lift is a new minimally invasive technique offering a subtle and natural looking lift which can generate collagen and elastin with the effects lasting typically 1-2 years. Polydioxanone sutures have long been used in surgery for cutaneous and subcutaneous suturing more than 30 years. Considered safe and hypoallergenic, this material meets all the requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for suturing. PDO Absorbable Threads may be combined and compliment many existing modalities with very few contraindications and side effects, and minimal down time. The use of PDO Threads shows visible results of rejuvenation and pathological stimulation of as much as 100% new collagen. Patients confirm increased skin rejuvenation, skin lifting, brightened skin tone, increase in volume, and an improvement in skin wrinkles.

What are the aesthetic advantages/scientific rationale of the PDO ThreadLift Facelift?

Lifting action: these mini threads are embedded in the layer known as the SMAS, in between the skin and the muscle, facilitating a lifting action on both skin and muscle. Precise implantation at the correct depth and at the appropriate points has an immediate lifting effect on the neck and lower part of the face, where the supporting tissue is weaker. The placement of the threads is based on the use of natural tension lines of the skin/ vectors , causing an effect similar to a surgical face lift.

Smoothing effect: The use of shorter, thicker threads on the forehead relaxes the muscles, hindering their use and creating a lifting action similar to that produced by botulinum toxins.

Increased circulation: These threads have a continual stimulation of blood supply to the treated area which results in continual collagen and elastin stimulation in the treated area. After a few days, the treated area looks healthier and brighter.

Natural final effect: PDO threads works by stimulating the action of the fibroblasts and the final effect is always natural. There is no risk of deformation or changes to the patient's features.

Similar effect to Botulinum Toxin: the PDO thread relaxes the muscles of facial expression , simulating the effect of botulinum toxin but with the advantage of a more natural look.

Increased endogenous hyaluronic acid clinical studies have shown that where the thread is inserted, stimulation of endogenous HA occurs and the skin is better hydrated.

Reduction of fat cells: An additional action on the fatty layers in the SMAS area of the skin, ( the mini threads are embedded in the layer known as the SMAS, in between the skin and the muscle ) helps mobilise adipose tissue, reducing the size of the face and defining features

RESULT OF FIONA LIFT THREAD:

reduces wrinkles, lines and creases
lifts and tightens saggy or flabby skin, improving definition
naturally improves skin elasticity and texture
brightens skin tone and complexion
produces more defined facial contours such as cheekbones
can sculpt more pleasing feature e.g. angle of the mouth

 

ADVANTAGE OF FIONA LIFT THREAD:

- Simple surgery. Only 30 minutes of local anesthesia is needed.
- speedy recovery. No edema, No bruise Effectiveness of surgery/Treatment
- long-lasting effect with no side effect(usually 3-5 years)
- No incision, No tie/ Back to the life rapidly.
- Semi-permanent effect
- No scar & quick return
- Contouring of mandibular angle
- Improvement of facial wrinkles
- Tone up the color/ resiles the skin
- Restrains the skin and facial wrinkles from aging process

On top of that, here are some tips you can follow:

Rest as much as possible.
Follow all instructions on looking after your wound.
Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least one month.
You may need to wear your compression garment for several weeks.
Report any bleeding, severe pain or unusual symptoms to your surgeon.

It is not to pull the skin artificially for suppleness but to induce the foreign body reaction through using PDO thread, produces collagen itself and then improve the blood circulation for elastic skin and elimination of wrinkles naturally. This treatment has the various strong points which are simple surgery, speedy recovery, long-lasting effect and no side effect.
