PDO Therapy is an excellent and effective cosmetic technique to lift and tighten sagging skin tissues. It re-defines facial contours and induces collagen production. The thread forms part of an integrated support structure for the tissue of the face due to collagen synthesis. The lifting effect is at its peak 6 months later when collagen has formed around the threads. The lifting effect lasts between 2-3 years

Upper and lower cheeks, forehead (brow lifting), jawline, neck, nasoi-labial folds, marionette lines, arms, thighs and abdomen.

Facial Contouring: PDO Threads can very effectively strengthen the contour of the face, reduce roundness, lift sagging skin in the cheeks, jowls, neck and also produce an excellent eye brow lift.

Skin Rejuvenation: Enhances skin tone and tightens pores.

FTC therapy originated from traditional thread lift philosophy in western medicine as well as threads-embedding therapy in oriental acupuncture therapy to control and improve tissue stimulation and muscle contraction.

The needle is inserted into the subcutaneous layer of the skin and when it is taken out, the threads remain implanted in the skin. Insertion of dozens of needles to the deeper layer of skin with absorbable threads activates their natural regenerative process and mechanical stimulation of wound healing and tissue contraction.

The threads are very strong and after 60 – 80 days save up to 50% of the strength properties. After 180 -240 days they are completely absorbed. Tissue reaction to thread PDO is insignificant and is soft new collagen.

Note:

With all of the above treatments, you are relying on a good biological response, so the exact outcome for each individual cannot be guaranteed. However, our treatment regimens are designed to maximize the potential for effective treatment and the improvements for some individuals can be dramatic.

The most recent development in thread lifting has been the introduction of cog threads. A move away from the traditional monofilaments to barbed threads, this new shape induces higher chronic inflammatory reaction causing a higher rate of fibroblast conversion during the wound healing process. As a result, clients achieve a longer lasting and more visible effect after a single treatment. The threads are 100% PDO (Polydioxanone), a clinically proven bio-compatible material that is already widely used in medical suturing.

Local anaesthetic is injected into the treatment area. The PDO thread will then be introduced using a cannula or micro-needle into the required area. The procedure takes around 45-60 minutes depending on what treatment the patient requires. The patient is able to fully resume their everyday routine and social commitments within a couple of days. FTC PDO Therapy is a tailor made treatment which can be adjusted to the patients requirements at any time. When PDO Therapy is combined with Fillers and prescription only medicines this can optimise the results achieved
