Adding PDO Thread treatment on your services is needed for a successful aesthetic practice as the popularity of these procedures has skyrocketed. Patient satisfaction concerning this new procedure is extremely high as PDO Threads are effective and give immediate results with minimal downtime, compared to the other treatments available in the market at present.

These courses will teach you innovative techniques to lift and tighten sagging skin along the face without the need for a face lift. They will also give you the skills to offer skin rejuvenation service that reduce acne scarring, smooth crepey skin, lift eyebrows and rebuild collagen. These are non-surgical services that your clients desperately need and want, and the training will position you to meet that need.

PDO Thread Lift involves the placement of threads made of Polydioxanone (PDO) under the skin, which are then tightened to LIFT sagging facial tissues.

COLLAGEN promotes skin elasticity and helps the skin appear more youthful and healthier, and PDO threads can stimulate the skin to produce more of it. Aside from helping produce collagen, PDO threads also trigger ELASTIN and HYALURONIC ACID synthesis in the skin, both of which are crucial to giving your skin a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

OVERVIEW OF Lifskin PDO THREAD

ABOUT LIFSKIN PDO THREAD

Threads are made from Polydioxanone (PDO), which is biodegradable – it metabolises in water and carbon dioxide. The
Equinox Thread consists of a needle, needle cap, hub, sponge, and PDO suture and is sterilised by EO gas. The PDO suture
is absorbable and comes in a variety of distributions: monofilament (1 suture) and multifilament (more than 1 suture – i.e.
double threads). PDO Threads are absorbed by the skin over the next 6-8 weeks and will completely dissolve within the
body 6 to 12 months after the procedure. For as long as the collagen holds the lift, results can remain for up to 48 months,
depending on the Lifskin Thread model and quantity used. PDO also has a long safety record in surgery – plastic surgeons,
eye surgeons, and gynaecologists have been using them to close wounds for decades.

PDO Threads work by stimulating collagen and fibrotic reactions within the deep tissue of the skin, causing the skin to
“pull back” for a more rejuvenated and tightened skin texture. They also aim to improve skin elasticity and reduce fine
lines. The specialised Lifskin PDO Thread Lifting range further offers a less invasive and non-surgical way of revitalising
and lifting saggy and loose skin for a more youthful appearance. PDO Thin Threads come with either a sharp needle or
cannula (L-Type). Cannulas are best used to treat sensitive areas of the body and face (i.e. lips, décolletage, fine lines
around the abdomen, hands—especially the eyes; we do NOT recommend the use of sharp needle PDO Threads near the
eye area), or those that are highly vascular, where there’s an increased risk of puncturing blood vessels with a sharp
needle as opposed to using a blunt cannula.

The popularity of our PDO Threads can be attributed to their ease of insertion, excellent reproducible and sustainable
results, minor side effects, and a very low incidence of complications. Lifskin PDO Threads can be used on areas of the
face and body.

FUNCTION OF SHORT THREADs

Short Threads Work Via:

Collagen Synthesis: Because of this property, PDO smooth threads are suitable for the
improvement of fine static wrinkles. Some practitioners have observed skin texture
improvement, i.e. glowing skin, as reported by their patients.

Support A mesh-like placement of these threads can help to reduce sagging by firming the skin
and providing tissue support. A skin-tightening effect has also been reported. However,
significant lifting is not usually seen.

Fat denaturation and Skin Contraction Tissue contraction and reduction in size of mild to
moderate bulging fat areas of the face make this a suitable treatment for jowls, nasolabial
folds, and marionette areas. A sufficient number of threads are required to achieve optimal
results

FACIAL AGING: STRUCTURAL CHANGES

Skin: The skin loses collagen and elastin with progressive age, and the dermis loses hyaluronic acid, becoming dry, inelastic, and wrinkly. The skin becomes thinner, and skin laxity increases. The skin eventually loses elasticity and becomes redundant.

Muscles: Muscles hypertrophy with age. Repetitive movement of some muscles may also make certain wrinkles more prominent. Some areas lose elasticity, e.g. the gobbler neck deformity caused by the laxity of the platysma.

Fibrous connective tissue: Loss of proteins such as elastin and collagen results in loss of elasticity, e.g. eye bags are caused by the loosening of the retaining ligament, resulting in fat protrusion.
