About the Workshop

Course Details

Our PDO Thread Lift Training Course is a comprehensive program specifically designed for physicians, nurses, and licensed healthcare professionals aiming to excel in the field of aesthetics. This course provides an in-depth understanding of the market size and considerations in aesthetic medicine, particularly focusing on the PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lift technique.

Key Components of the Course:

Facial Anatomy: A detailed study of facial anatomy is essential for safe and effective PDO thread placement. This part of the course ensures that participants are well-versed in the anatomy of the face, crucial for avoiding complications during procedures.
Candidate Selection: Learning how to choose the correct candidate for PDO threads is crucial. This module focuses on identifying ideal patients for the procedure, considering factors such as skin type, age, and specific aesthetic goals.
PDO Threads - Monofilaments: The course delves into the specifics of PDO threads, their types, and uses. PDO threads, made of 99.9% Polydioxanone suture material, are absorbable and used for various aesthetic purposes, including improving skin elasticity and stimulating collagen production.
Product Characteristics and Techniques: Participants will learn about the characteristics of different PDO threads, including smooth and monofilament threads. The course covers their mechanism of action, such as how they stimulate neocollagenesis and fibroblast stimulation once inserted into the skin, leading to improved skin elasticity and structural repair.
Volumizing and Tightening Techniques: The training will provide knowledge on various techniques for volumizing and tightening using PDO threads. This includes practical skills in the vector linear technique, where PDO threads are injected intradermally, hypodermally, and intramuscularly for rejuvenation.
Step-by-Step Protocol: A comprehensive step-by-step protocol guides practitioners through the entire PDO thread lift procedure, ensuring a clear understanding from consultation to post-procedure care. The course highlights the advantages of PDO thread lifts, such as no incision, minimal recovery time, and long-lasting results.

This extensive course is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to confidently incorporate PDO thread lifts into their practice, enhancing their aesthetic treatment offerings and patient satisfaction. The blend of theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on experience ensures a well-rounded education in this advanced aesthetic technique.

Learning Objectives

Comprehensive Understanding of PDO Threads: Gain a deep understanding of PDO (Polydioxanone) threads, their composition, and their role in aesthetic medicine. Learn about the unique properties of these absorbable threads made from 99.9% Polydioxanone and their application in enhancing skin elasticity and promoting collagen production. Understand how the quantity and pattern of thread placement can significantly influence the results in terms of skin elasticity, smoothing, and structural repair.
Skill Development in Thread Insertion Techniques: Develop proficiency in the insertion of PDO threads into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layers of the skin. Understand the nuances of using smooth threads, which are easier to insert due to their lack of barbs or hooks, and how these threads stimulate collagen production and skin rejuvenation over 4 to 6 weeks.
Mastering Collagen Stimulation and Skin Elasticity Improvement: Learn the mechanism of action of monofilament PDO threads, including their role in stimulating tissue reaction, neocollagenesis, and fibroblast stimulation.
Safe and Effective Procedure Execution: Acquire the knowledge and skills to perform PDO thread procedures with maximum safety and efficacy. Understand the importance of avoiding critical facial nerves and vasculature to minimize risks and complications, ensuring a safer treatment outcome.
Efficient Practice Integration and Patient Care: Learn to seamlessly integrate PDO thread procedures into your aesthetic practice, offering a procedure with minimal incision, recovery time, and quick results. Understand how to perform the entire procedure in approximately 15-30 minutes, ensuring patient convenience and satisfaction with long-lasting results.
