The Application of Absorbable Octo Twist Threads for the Filling of Deep Frown Lines
Following up with last week's post on Application of RF Cannula for the Dissection of Deep Forehead Frown Lines, this week, we would be updating you on the application of PDO absorbable threads on the filling of deep frown Lines post RF cannula dissection. The absorbable PDO threads are made from polydioxanone, a natural collagen stimulating compound found in the human body. It cost a quarter the price of the conventional synthetic wrinkle fillers and has lower risk adverse such as bruising and migration reactions that many patients faced. In addition, these threads stimulate collagen production in the desired area to give a long lasting effect of up to 2 years.

Neck wrinkles
All deep wrinkles
To maximise the volumizing effect, it is recommended to be used combing with HA fillers or PRP.
Precautions to take during the procedure
As shown in the video above, the procedure takes less than 15minutes to be completed and a minimum of 4 absorbable PDO threads are used for the filling along the superficial line of the patients facial forehead. Due to the blunt nature of the PDO cannula threads, risk of damaging the blood vessels are mitigated, reducing infection and recovery time of the patient. In addition, in order to complete the safe and smooth injection procedure of the PDO threads, the facial skin area to be treated has to be straightened out. This would assist in the correct insertion of the PDO threads to the desired area for collagen production.
