Ohana Medspas is now offering a non-surgical with PDO threads.
Non-surgical facelift with PDO threads
PDO threads, also known as polydioxanone threads, are a non-surgical option for facelifts that can help to lift and tighten the skin. The threads are made of a biodegradable material and are inserted into the skin using a needle. Once inserted, the threads act as a scaffold, supporting the skin and stimulating collagen production.
PDO threads can be used to lift the cheeks, jowls, neck, and eyebrows, and can also be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes around an hour to complete. Patients may experience some bruising and swelling after the procedure, but these side effects are generally mild and should resolve within a few days.
The effects of a PDO thread lift typically last for around 6-12 months, after which the threads will be absorbed by the body. However, the results of the procedure can be extended by combining PDO threads with other non-surgical treatments, such as injectable fillers or Botox.
It’s important to note that while PDO threads can provide significant lifting and tightening of the skin, they may not be suitable for everyone. Patients with very thin or sensitive skin may not be good candidates for the procedure, and those with more significant sagging may require a surgical facelift to achieve their desired results.
Non-surgical Rhinoplasty with PDO threads
Non-surgical rhinoplasty with PDO threads is a relatively new technique that involves using polydioxanone (PDO) threads to reshape the nose. PDO threads are thin, biocompatible, and biodegradable threads that are commonly used in medical procedures, such as suturing wounds and lifting sagging skin.
The procedure involves inserting PDO threads into specific areas of the nose to reshape and contour it. The threads are placed under the skin and are used to lift and support the tissues, creating a more defined and structured appearance.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty with PDO threads is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional rhinoplasty surgery, which involves surgically altering the shape and structure of the nose. This procedure is often preferred by patients who do not want to undergo surgery or who are not candidates for traditional rhinoplasty.
Some of the benefits of non-surgical rhinoplasty with PDO threads include:
1. Minimal downtime: The procedure is minimally invasive, and there is no need for general anesthesia, so there is minimal downtime required.
2. Quick results: The results of the procedure are noticeable immediately after treatment, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
3. Reversible: Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which is permanent, non-surgical rhinoplasty with PDO threads is reversible, and the results can be adjusted if necessary.
Tightening and Smoothing the Decolletage with PDO threads
PDO threads can also be used to tighten and smooth the skin of the décolletage, which is the area between the neck and the chest. As we age, the skin in this area can become loose and saggy, resulting in wrinkles, lines, and creases.
During a décolletage PDO thread lift, the threads are inserted into the skin using a needle, similar to a facial thread lift. The threads are then gently pulled to tighten and lift the skin, creating a smoother and more youthful appearance.
PDO threads can also stimulate collagen production in the skin, which can further improve the texture and firmness of the décolletage area. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes around 30-60 minutes to complete.
Patients may experience some mild bruising and swelling after the procedure, but these side effects usually resolve within a few days. The results of a décolletage PDO thread lift can last for around 6-12 months, after which the threads will be absorbed by the body.
It’s important to note that décolletage PDO thread lifts may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with very thin or sensitive skin. Your provider will be able to determine whether the procedure is right for you and can provide personalized advice on how to achieve your desired results.
