PDO Lifting Threads

Description

MINERVA PDO Mono Threads are sterile, absorbable smooth polydioxanone (PDO) threads provided in a pack of 20 pieces, designed for non-surgical skin tightening, rejuvenation, and collagen stimulation on face and body. The mono threads are inserted under the dermis to create a supporting mesh that gradually lifts skin, improves elasticity, and stimulates natural collagen and elastin regeneration over time.

Bnefits

Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production leading to firmer, more youthful skin.
Provides non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Can be used on face and various body areas to address wrinkles, fine lines, saggy or loose skin.
Biodegradable and absorbed by the body over time, eliminating long-term foreign material.
Suitable for repeated procedures if needed, with customizable placement based on patient needs.
Less invasive than surgical facelift procedures, reducing risk and recovery time.

Indications

Skin laxity, mild to moderate sagging on face, neck, or body.
Wrinkles, fine lines, early signs of skin ageing.
Areas requiring skin tightening: cheeks, jawline, neck, décolletage, arms, abdomen, thighs (depending on thread length and practitioner evaluation).
Patients seeking minimally invasive aesthetic improvement without surgery.

Composition

Polydioxanone (PDO) monofilament suture material, medical-grade, absorbable.

Formulation

Smooth (mono) PDO thread, sterile, single-use, pre-packaged in sterile pouches or foil packaging.
Thread gauge/length vary depending on specification (e.g., product example 29G × 38 mm for face).

Packaging

Pack containing 20 sterile PDO mono threads (typically 10 pouches with 2 threads each or 20 individually sealed sterile units, depending on distributor).
Inner sterile packaging (e.g. foil bags) to maintain sterility until use.
Outer carton labelled with brand, thread type, gauge/length, lot/batch number and expiry information.

Usage

To be used only by trained and licensed medical practitioners experienced in PDO thread placement.
Ensure sterile conditions; open a single thread pack immediately before use, inspect packaging integrity and expiry date.
Prepare treatment area with antiseptic skin cleansing and local anaesthesia as per protocol.
Insert the smooth PDO mono thread into the dermis/subdermal layer using fine needle or micro-cannula, following planned vector and depth.
Upon placement, leave the thread in situ to form a subdermal support mesh; avoid excessive tension to prevent puckering or tissue distortion.
Provide post-treatment care: advise patient to avoid strenuous facial movements, massage, pressure on treated areas, and follow local aftercare protocols.
Dispose of used needles or cannulae and packaging in appropriate sharps / medical waste containers as per local regulations.

Contraindications

Active skin infection, inflammation, acne, dermatitis or skin disease at treatment site.
Known allergy or hypersensitivity to PDO material or any thread components.
Unrealistic expectations or severe skin laxity requiring surgical lifting rather than thread lift.
Autoimmune disorders, coagulation disorders, or use of anticoagulant therapy not managed appropriately.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding (in many practices elective aesthetic procedures are contraindicated).

Adverse Effects

Mild swelling, redness, bruising or tenderness at insertion sites.
Possible discomfort or temporary tightness, pulling or sensation along the thread vectors, especially during facial movements.
Risk of infection if aseptic technique is compromised.
Possible thread migration, visibility or palpability under the skin if placed superficially or inappropriately.
Rare allergic or foreign-body reaction, though PDO is generally biocompatible.

Storage Conditions

Store unopened packs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture.
Maintain at controlled room temperature as per manufacturer specifications (typically 2–25 °C).
Keep in original packaging until use to preserve sterility.
Protect from physical damage (bending, perforation) of sterile pouches or threads.

Duration

Effect duration typically 12\u201318 months, depending on patient skin condition, lifestyle and number/placement of threads.

Onset

Initial skin tightening may become visible within a few weeks as collagen production increases; gradual improvement over 4\u20138 weeks with full effect developing over several months.
