PDO THREADS FAQS
What is PDO Absorbable Suture?
It’s a synthetic absorbable surgical suture composed of polydioxanone. PDO sutures are used to perform cardiothoracic surgery (such as open-heart surgery). It’s one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body.
Your skin fully absorbs it within 4 to 6 months & won’t leave you with any scar tissue.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
IT’S AMAZINGLY SIMPLE, ACTUALLY! It works by creating controlled healing.
YOUR SKIN GENTLY REACTS TO THE INSERTED THREADS
In medical terms "Selective Inflammatory Response", it is the principle behind a lot of aesthetic procedures (such as Fractional Laser, Chemical Peels & MicroNeedling). Our skin is very good at repairing itself, and by inserting NOVATHREADS we make it ‘heal’ itself by creating new collagen, naturally!
Yes, PDO is fully absorbable, but that doesn’t mean your skin won’t react to it. During the 4 to 6 months needed to fully absorb the PDO suture, your skin is also repairing itself around it. Because it is your own new collagen it will last up to 18 months anywhere that it is placed.
It’s "controlled healing" happening underneath the skin!
Unlike other Aesthetic Procedures, PDO threads can be used to treat almost any area.
