Association of PDO threads and technologies-Facial treatment protocols

Aging is part of the immutable characteristics of the human being, and the search for treatments to alleviate the undesirable effects of aging is frequent in the dermatological office.

This work proposes the technique of association of PDO threads with technologies and the description of the facial treatment protocols.

For contextualization, two case studies of two patients subjected to the procedure are analyzed.

In recent years, there have been marked changes in facial rejuvenation techniques using PDO threads and these have shown satisfactory results for collagen biostimulation. Having technologies in dermatological clinics is a frequent reality, and sometimes, some doctors are in doubt about when to use them associated with PDO wires and in which sequence it should be done, ensuring patient safety and maintaining the integrity of the wires. This article aims to bring clarity about how to use technology and when is the right time. It is also intended to clarify that the PDO wire can be used in conjunction with the microfocused ultrasound technology, since the melting point of the PDO polymer is between 110° and 115°C.
