Polydioxanone thread tensioners to rejuvenate the face

The thread tensioners polydioxanone (PDO), also called "magic thread" is a technique of Aesthetic Medicine getting rejuvenate and tighten skin of the face from within and without surgery, with or without anesthesia and, most importantly without changing the expression of the face.

The PDO is a material that is frequently used for sutures in cardiac surgery because it contributes to the cohesion of the cells. In addition, this material is fully compatible with the body, sterile, resorbable. Thanks to these magic threads, a lifting regenerative effect is achieved, namely:

• The wires form a support for the flabby tissues
• The PDO stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin and skin redensifica

Treatment with thread lift : Understanding

First, the specialist performs a thorough study of the areas of the face to be treated and then develop a design areas to be tensioned and mark them accurately. After cleaning the skin, an anesthetic cream is applied so that there is no discomfort.

• Autoimmune diseases
• Infection in the treatment area

• Firmness: ie lifting effect. Elastin and collagen produced function as a support network for the skin, so the skin regains firmness and sagging decreases.
• Smoothness and brightness: also stimulate the microcirculation of the area, so that skin is oxygenated, bright and smooth.
• Prevention: thanks to the regeneration of tissues, aging and sagging slows down.
