Advanced PDO Thread Lift Training (Level III)

What makes this course different from the prerequisite course (Thread Lift Training Levels 1 and 2)?

• Class sizes are limited to small groups where practitioners work very closely with the supervising Physician Instructor to perform techniques HANDS-ON.
• As with all Empire Medical Training programs, our physician instructors are world class practitioners, practice owners, and expert in the area they are teaching. Nurse Practitioners who have demonstrated excellence in performing all Thread Lift techniques will also participate as instructors.
• This advanced course will utilize threads of 18-19 gauge which includes V1 and V2 (molded Cog Threads).
• During levels 1 and 2, practitioners spend more time learning how to place threads, this advanced workshop’s focus will be on technique and understanding the various thread applications. The course will include use of the more robust threads for a variety of treatment areas and areas to provide more lasting results.
• You will learn Reversed-Vector placements
• • Understand technique, pros and cons
  • When to use bi-directional or unidirectional barb configurations
• Use of Clarius Handheld Ultrasound Scanner so you can see the threads after placement.
• Small group course with attendees who already have taken previous thread courses and have experience in placing smooth and barbed PDO Threads. By having a small group of people, attendees should be able to see and learn more cases from a group setting and be trained as a small group preceptorship.
• More in-depth Knowledge training on PDO thread mechanism and anatomy.
• Management of Complications and how to treat possible adverse events.

Empire has developed this course to enhance the training already received in PDO Thread Lift training level 1 and 2, and better complement other aesthetic procedures presently being performed in your practice.

The course is taught by Board Certified Physicians and Specialists who have incorporated these procedures within their practice and will share their results and “injection pearls” in addition to reviewing the numerous vector diagrams, thread configurations, and how to create a full treatment and consultation. A full color manual and instructional videos illustrating the procedures are included through our Physician Portal.

Course Prerequisites:

• Trainees must have taken previous Thread Lift Training Levels 1 and 2, or equivalent. Trainees must have performed at least 4 thread lift procedures on patients subsequent to the workshop.
• Trainees MUST accompany their own models for the training and provide follow up, post care. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to these guidelines as safety is our primary concern.
• Empire Medical Training will not supply models for attendees. Trainees must be responsible for the results and provide aftercare to their models after thread treatments.
• Trainees must send photos of their models with a treatment plan provided for pre-approval.
