PDO/PCL Threads
PDO/PCL Threads
PDO (Polydioxanone) and PCL (Polycaprolactone) threads offer a revolutionary approach to non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Threads are made from biodegradable materials that are widely used in the medical field making PDO/PCL threads trusted for their safety and efficacy. Threads are used for lifting, tightening, and rejuvenating sagging or loose skin as well as an alternative method for adding natural looking volume to areas of the face that are not suitable for dermal fillers.
The procedure involves the insertion of PDO/PCL threads beneath the skin surface, where they act as a scaffold, enhancing collagen production and creating a natural tightening effect. Treatment areas include cheeks, jawline, neck, under eyes, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and necklace lines. Threads can also be used on the body such as arms and abdomen to help tighten sagging or loose skin. PDO/PCL threads dissolve over time which stimulates the production of collagen, leaving a lasting result.
