Absorbable Monofilament Absorbable Sutures Mono Pdo Thread Lift
Korea
Simo Better PDO Threads are sutures that are made from a
biocompatible material called PDO, which has been specially
designed for safe re-absorption by the body. Simo Better Threads
remain in place for about four to six months, after which point
they slowly dissolve. Patients can, however, expect to keep seeing
the results of their PDO threads lift for a year or more after
their treatment. This long-lasting effect arises from the lingering
improvement in skin condition that results from collagen infusion.
Simo Better Threads come in several different varieties: Barbed
sutures, which are ideal for gathering skin (and therefore
producing more lifting action) and straight or curved smooth
sutures. Smooth sutures produce less of a lift, but they are
excellent for collagen stimulation. Patients often have smooth
sutures placed in strategic locations around their face (such as
the corner of the mouth or along the brows) in order to target
common problem areas where the signs of aging become particularly
apparent. Barbed sutures, on the other hand, are placed near the
hairline in order to gently pull back the skin and lift the cheeks
and jowls.
Thread lifts are low risk, thanks to how noninvasive they are.
There is virtually no risk of scarring, severe bruising, bleeding
or other complications after having a thread lift. Because thread
lifts are much easier to perform than facelift surgery, they are
much more affordable.
Advantageous though thread lifts are, it's important for patients
to maintain realistic expectations for this procedure. While thread
lifts certainly produce visible changes, they will generally only
lift the face by a few millimeters; as such, they create a more
subtle and natural looking end result than facelift surgery. Thread
lifts are therefore best suited to patients who are dealing with
mild to moderate, rather than severe, signs of skin laxity.
Having PDO Threads placed is relatively quick and easy for the
patient. First, local anesthesia will be used to numb the areas
that are going to be treated, then a small instrument (a thin
cannula or needle) will be used to insert the threads below the
skin. This entire process usually takes just 30 to 45 minutes, and
the patient is free to return to work afterward.
