Protocols from the AAFE Solid Filler Polydioxanone (PDO) lifting thread therapy provide an exclusive, non-surgical, minimally invasive technique to provide an effective and safe treatment. These protocols generate the patient’s natural collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. It provides a smoothing and lifting of the face while maintaining a natural appearance for 1-2 years.
PDO absorbable sutures have been applied for reapproximation of cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues in dental surgery, pediatric cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic surgery. This process has been professionally trusted for over 30 years.
The entire process, from diagnosis, to a treatment plan, and documented use of PDO sutures for re-approximation of soft tissue is accessible to every healthcare provider. These sutures are used every day by dental and medical practices. PDO suture threads meet all requirements for safety and efficacy established by United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
The Solid Filler Lifting PDO thread therapy provides a facial lift that is immediately visible, using bio-stimulation of collagen production through neocollagenesis. The patient receives lasting results of up to 12-24 months depending on the situation.
By providing neovascularization and bio-stimulation, Solid Filler Lifting PDO thread therapy increases facial volume, better lip and smile lines, enhances skin and pore tightening, and skin tone. The treatment can be used alone or combined with botulinum toxin, dermal fillers and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with minimal contraindications, side effects, and nearly zero downtime.
Thanks to the exclusive protocols provided by AAFE, now every clinician has an excellent treatment option for patients with sagging skin and collagen loss in the middle to lower face which adversely affects the lip, smile, and jawlines from an esthetic and functional perspective. The areas of treatment include sculpting, lifting, and skin tightening of the glabellar region, crow’s feet, mid-face, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline, jowl, and neck areas.
