As we get older, our bodies gradually produce less and less collagen, which leads to an 80% reduction in skin thickness by about age 70. This loss of volume and strength is a large factor in the creation of excess skin and wrinkles. As the skin grows weaker, it's no longer able to support the tissues beneath it adequately, meaning that gravity pulls it downwards and stretches it. Collagen helps support "growth factors" that greatly influences the condition of our skin. In addition to being used for wound healing, collagen helps to keep our skin strong, voluminous and supple.
PDO provoke the body's "healing response" and causing the body to direct large surges of collagen to treated areas. This is important because of the vital role collagen plays in the ageing process.
What are PDO Mono threads?
PDO Mono Threads is a treatment which improves the appearance of the skin. PDO Mono threads create cellular renewal, through Collagen stimulation, and neovascularisation to improve skin texture, fine lines and elasticity.
How long do PDO Mono threads last?
About 3 months after the procedure, the PDO Mono threads will disappear through simple hydrolysis (they are absorbable). PDO mono threads stimulates collagen production within the skin by causing a healing response.
PDO Mono thread are low risk, thanks to how non-invasive they are. Patients may experience bruising, swelling in the treated areas. In rare cases, patients may experience irritation, infection or their sutures becoming visible under their skin. If this occurs, however, the sutures can simply be removed and the patient's face will return to its prior state.
