It is a brand new technique that has attracted our interest and we want to know everything about it.<\/p>\n<p>In early 2015 I attended at the World Congress of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Anti-Aging held in Paris (January-February 2015) where this technique with PDO threads was thoroughly presented. Many conflicting views were expressed for this technique in terms of safety and efficacy, which I will describe below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z26uAYUItnE?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div>\n<h2>What are the PDO threads?<\/h2>\n<p>The PDO threads are absorbable threads which are produced from a synthetic material called polydioxanone.

The disintegration and absorption time of polydioxanone ranges from 4-6 months. This means that the time that we benefit from the positive effects of edema and skin firmness, is perhaps a little less.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the advantages and disadvantages of PDO Threads?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The advantage of PDO thread is that if there are no hypersensitivity or allergy reactions, the process can be repeated quite often and in various areas at a time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the disadvantages, one major disadvantage of this method is that if there is any allergy or hypersensitivity to the thread material or any reaction of a foreign body, then the thread cannot be removed, since it is found longitudinally in the subcutaneous tissue.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, we are not able to know in advance the cause of this allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to PDO Threads This case \u2013when arises- can be treated in a quite difficult and painful manner both for the patient and the doctor.<\/p>\n<p>A second disadvantage is that in contrast to common belief, when 4-6 months elapse and the thread is completely absorbed, then no collagen TYPE I is produced, as a result of the inflammation. Collagen TYPE I is a new collagen (i.e. a structural molecule of tissues that provoke skin rejuvenation and firmness).\u00a0If the PDO threads could trigger the production of collagen TYPE I, we could then be talking about a long-term skin rejuvenation through collagenoses process.<\/p>\n<p>Simply said, the absence of collagen TYPE I means that the treatment result lasts for a relatively limited period of time without contributing in future skin firmness or texture.<br \/>\nThe total absence of collagen TYPE I production after the application of PDO Threads have been results of a study, which was presented for the first time by the Dermatology Professor Alexander Turkevich and the Plastic Surgeon Henry Delmar at the World Congress of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Anti-Aging that took place at Paris, on January 2015.<\/p>\n<h2>Are the PDO Threads a safe choice of treatment?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The PDO Threads are used as alternative facial skin rejuvenation techniques in several countries. However, they have not been FDA approved in the US, since it is a non-entirely certified product for its safety and effectiveness.<\/strong> Studies are being conducted for this new technique and we are awaiting the results\u2019 announcement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:48%; margin-right: 4%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\">\n<div class=\"fusion-image-element fusion-image-align-left in-legacy-container\" style=\"text-align:left;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-dropshadow imageframe-5 hover-type-none\" style=\"-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);box-shadow: 3px 3px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);margin-right:25px;float:left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.koutsouris.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/\u03c6\u03c9\u03c4\u03bf\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c6\u03af\u03b1-1.jpg\" alt class=\"img-responsive\"\/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-7 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:48%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\">\nAs mentioned before, the PDO Threads are produced by an absorbable synthetic material, which disappears within 4-6 days from the day of its application into the organism.
