Tensor threads is an anti-aging treatment that does not require general anesthesia or invasive surgery, and is also known as a non-surgical facelift. The face gets a natural look, and the results are discrete but can last up to 18 months. The treatment session requires only 30 minutes to perform.
PDO (Polydioxanone) yarn is a strong filament fiber, consisting of a few strands of twisted solid fiber, which dissolves into the body tissue after a certain time (usually 6 to 8 months)
PDO material has been used for over 30 years in plastic surgery, gastroenterology, urology, gynecology, and ophthalmology for cutaneous and subcutaneous stitches. These threads have high tensile strength, excellent flexibility and smooth tissue passage. They are made of material that meets all the requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for surgical sutures.
PDO ultimately breaks down into water and carbon dioxide, which are absorbed naturally by the skin. It causes a very mild reaction during absorption, minimal inflammatory reaction with subsequent formation of new collagen production around the strand (neo-collagenesis).
In our clinic we use the highest quality PDO threads. They are FDA approved, moldable, and 100% absorbable.
