PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a popular and minimally invasive cosmetic treatment used to rejuvenate and lift sagging skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve overall facial contours. These threads are made from a biocompatible and absorbable material called polydioxanone, which has been widely used in the medical field for sutures for many years. PDO threads are designed to stimulate collagen production and promote tissue tightening, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
The PDO thread procedure involves the insertion of these threads beneath the skin’s surface using a fine needle or cannula. Once inserted, the threads create a supportive framework, lifting and repositioning sagging skin and soft tissues. This immediate lift effect is further enhanced over time as the body naturally absorbs the PDO threads while stimulating collagen production. PDO thread treatments can be used on various areas of the face, including the cheeks, jawline, neck, and even non-facial areas like the arms, abdomen and buttocks. The procedure is often referred to as a “non-surgical facelift” because it can provide noticeable results without the need for invasive surgery, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a more youthful appearance without the associated downtime and risks of traditional facelift surgery.
V Soft PDO threads are manufactured in an ultra-clean, white room environment used for pharmaceutical production.
V Soft PDO threads are FDA cleared for the thread inserted in the cannula as a unite. This allows every practicioner to feel comfortable offering V Soft PDO threads in their clinic.
V Soft lifting PDO threads are sterilized with EO gás, blister-packed and then packaged in aluminum pouches. Individual packaging eliminates exposure to air, which prevents thread integrity degradation.
Each PDO thread and cannula unit is assigned na individual lot number. Units come with pre-printed lot labels, to facilitate ease of medical record keeping.
PDO threads are sterile, single-use, polydioxanone biodegradable sutures. The threads are embedded subdermally via cannula and generate tensing fibrosis in the surrounding tissue. The body reacts by naturally increasing collagen production in the treatment area. The flexible, absorbable polymer is dissolved and broken down by the body within 3–6 months.
PDO threads are one of the safest aesthetic procedures available, specifically when compared to other injectables. The treatments are minimally invasive with a high safety profile, complete absorption of threads, and very little tissue reaction. With PDO thread treatment there is no risk of a vascular compromise such as a vascular occlusion or vascular compression.
