What are PDO Threads? |
PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lift is a new minimally invasive technique offering a subtle and natural looking lift that can generate collagen and elastin with the effects lasting typically 1-2 years. Polydioxanone sutures have been used for more than 30 years in surgery for cutaneous and subcutaneous suturing. Considered safe and hypoallergenic, this material meets all the requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for suturing. PDO Absorbable Threads may be combined and compliment many existing modalities such as Botox & Dermal Fillers and have very few contraindications and side effects, and minimal down time. The use of PDO Threads shows visible results of rejuvenation and pathological stimulation of as much as 100% new collagen. Patients confirm increased skin rejuvenation, skin lifting, brightened skin tone, increase in volume, and an improvement in skin wrinkles. The procedure is performed in-office without any anesthesia.

What is Kybella?The Kybella treatment is quickly rising in popularity due to its status as the first and only FDA-approved drug that with an indication for submental fullness. Prior to Kybella, the only other option for patients looking to treat this issue was to undergo liposuction. While liposuction is still an effective treatment, Kybella leaves the remaining skin tighter, whereas liposuction sometimes has issues with leaving behind excess skin, lessening the effect of the treatment. The number of injections and treatments required depends on an individual’s submental fat distribution, and once their aesthetic goals have been met, a retreatment should not be needed, as once Kybella destroys the fat cells in the neck, the cells should no longer be able to store or accumulate fat.
