Procedure
They are used to improve the integrity of skin, tone the tissue, address wrinkles, and increase hydration of the skin. Medi Threads are comprised of Polydioxanone (PDO). Polydioxanone is a well-used material for suture in most pediatric cardiac surgery and is a completely safe medical device as well as being completely absorbable and hypoallergenic. PDO contains no heavy metals and has no significant side effects. PDO threads range in size, strength and purpose. Medi Threads stimulate the production of new collagen protein which results in increased elasticity and firmness of the skin.
The placement of Medi Threads can take as little as five minutes and as long as an hour, depending on how many threads are placed and in how many locations on the body. In addition, we often use threading with other treatments such as dermal fillers and injections of neurotoxins, which will also determine the length of the appointment. The provider will assess the need of the client and direct the appointment time.
5 minutes – 1 hour
Redness or light swelling for about 15 minutes. Potential bruising, which can last for up to 1 week.
The recovery for “threading” is virtually immediate. The client will leave our clinic and can immediately resume most activities. As with any injection in the skin, there is a potential for bruising at the site. It would be advisable for the client to abstain from exercise for several hours and to adhere to keeping treated area clean like they would after any injection treatment. After two weeks, the body starts synthesis of natural protein of the body (elastin and collagen). Production of natural proteins continues up to 1 month until the PDO thread absorption is complete.
Improvement in the integrity of skin, toning of the tissue, wrinkle improvement, and increased hydration of the skin.
Medi Threads are thin, bioabsorbable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO), a safe and widely used material in medical sutures. When inserted into the skin, these threads stimulate the body’s natural healing response, which triggers the production of new collagen and elastin– essential proteins that provide structure, firmness and elasticity to the skin.
As we age, our body’s production of these proteins decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging and loss of volume. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, Medi Threads help to counteract these signs of aging and promote a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.
The PDO threads gradually dissolve over time, typically within 6 to 8 months. During this process, they continue stimulating collagen production, improving skin texture, firmness and overall appearance. This gradual dissolution also ensures a natural-looking result without requiring synthetic materials to remain in the skin indefinitely.
While Medi Threads can provide impressive results on their own, combining them with other aesthetic treatments can offer a more comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
You will feel a little pinch from the tiny needle but it is comparable to a neurotoxin injection. The majority of our clients feel only a slight sting that is very tolerable.
No.
We have a saying that “The best injectable is the least detectable!” Our goal is to make you look younger, more rested, and more relaxed, but still look like you.
No.
The recovery for “threading” is virtually immediate. The client will leave our Leawood or Liberty clinic and can immediately resume most activities. As with any injection in the skin there is a potential for bruising at the site. It would be advisable for the client to abstain from exercise for several hours and to adhere to keeping treated area clean like they would after any injection treatment. After two weeks the body starts synthesis of natural protein of the body (elastin and collagen). Production of natural proteins continues up to 1 month until the PDO thread absorption is complete.
Depending on how many threads used you can expect to see a difference in two weeks. Recommended protocol is to have Medi Threads placed three times, one month apart and then follow up in 6 months and every 6 months for maintenance.
Depending on how many threads used, the size of the threads, and how many treatments client has had, you can expect the results to last up to a year.
