About the Workshop
Gain a deep understanding of PDO (Polydioxanone) threads, their composition, and their role in aesthetic medicine. Learn about the unique properties of these absorbable threads made from 99.9% Polydioxanone and their application in enhancing skin elasticity and promoting collagen production. Understand how the quantity and pattern of thread placement can significantly influence the results in terms of skin elasticity, smoothing, and structural repair.
Develop proficiency in the insertion of PDO threads into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layers of the skin. Understand the nuances of using smooth threads, which are easier to insert due to their lack of barbs or hooks, and how these threads stimulate collagen production and skin rejuvenation over 4 to 6 weeks.
Master the mechanism of action of monofilament PDO threads, including their role in stimulating tissue reaction, neocollagenesis, and fibroblast stimulation.
Acquire the knowledge and skills to perform PDO thread procedures with maximum safety and efficacy. Understand the importance of avoiding critical facial nerves and vasculature to minimize risks and complications, ensuring a safer treatment outcome.
Learn to seamlessly integrate PDO thread procedures into your aesthetic practice, offering a procedure with minimal incision, recovery time, and quick results. Understand how to perform the entire procedure in approximately 15-30 minutes, ensuring patient convenience and satisfaction with long-lasting results.
