ILLARI THREADS PRO SERIES – PDO SCREW (TWISTED) THREADS
PDO Screw (Twisted) Threads is a PDO smooth thread coiled around a needle for extra collagen stimulation boost and volume following each thread insertion. This will effectively increase the threads’ contact area with a subcutaneous fat layer by adding more fibrous connective tissues to develop. PDO Screw Thread sutures for greater pushing up and volumizing of tissues compared with basic smooth (monofilament) threads. These threads are very popular due to their versatility and ability to support tissues while increasing collagen volume in deficit tissues.
In combination, PDO screw (twisted) thread sutures are used to support tissues and can be placed in a mesh pattern to reinforce barbed (cog) thread placement while enhancing the overall effect of treatment. The main advantage of using screw PDO threads is it reduces the amount of smooth (monofilament-type) needed for differing aesthetic applications.
PDO screw (twisted) thread sutures are to be placed into the subcutaneous fat layer of the skin to promote the production of collagenous connective tissues around the inserted threads.
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads generally last about 6-8 months for its full biodegradation after insertion and upon insertion stimulates collagen production during that period of time. The result from this collagen stimulation may last up to 12-24 months depending upon the patient and indication corrected.
Topical anesthesia is strongly recommended for patient comfort during the treatment. Swelling and edema may last 3-5 days after treatment and transient bruising may occur but varies and is different for each patient, technique, and treatment indication.
