PDO Threads/PRP
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets and associated proteins to accelerate healing and restructuring. It helps cause improvements in texture, collagen formation and function of the tissue injected.
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are a surgical grade sutures with delayed absorption made of protein. Research has confirmed that PDO relaxes tendons and muscles, whilst a foreign body reaction improves the blood flow to the area stimulating neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen in the skin). They can be used in many areas of the body: From eyebrow and face lift to urinary incontinence, this new approaches to nonsurgical management can be life changing with minimal risks.
