Yes, the type of PDO thread used in your procedure matters. It can affect issues like:
At Glow Aesthetic Center, we use Novathreads. Your board certified practitioner will discuss the best available threads for your specific beauty goals when you come in for your initial consultation. Novathreads manufacturers barbed, smooth, and twist threads that are administered by either a blunt cannula or sharp needle.
Schedule your consultation with the Glow Aesthetic Center team, led by Dr. Homan Siman, by filling out the form on our Book an Appointment tab above. You can also call our office to speak with a team member by dialing (818) 905-8815.
You may also hear PDO threads referred to as “mono” instead of smooth, “cog” instead of barbed, and “screw” instead of twist threads. These are the three main PDO types, and they work in different ways, according to research from MedCrave.
By learning more about your body type and beauty goals, our team can help you choose the right combination of thread types to achieve the best results.
It’s also true that PDO threads are not the only available thread types for non-surgical facelifts. Rather than the polydioxanone used in PDO threads, other types use polylactic acid (PCA) or polycaprolactone (PCL) as the active ingredient.
We prefer PDO threads for a variety of reasons. While all threads are absorbed by the body, PDO threads have been around the longest and are made of the same material used for decades in cardiovascular surgery. They are safe, reliable, and durable.
Regardless of which form of PDO thread you use, the main result is the same. The threads do minor damage to your underlying tissue, triggering your body’s healing response in a process aesthetic medicine experts call “controlled healing.” Your body begins to build more collagen around the threads and within a few months, the threads themselves dissolve into your body safely, leaving behind the new collagen.
As the most abundant protein in your body, collagen acts as a sort of glue to provide structure, elasticity, and firmness to your skin and tissues. In short, it’s what gives you that youthful glow you want to preserve, recapture, or enhance.
