Frequently Asked Questions
You keep up with the latest trends and developments in the cosmetic industry so that you can offer your patients what they want while growing your business. Even so, it’s only natural to have questions about new technology, products, services, and procedures. Here are just some of the answers to your most frequently asked questions about PDO Max threads and more.
PDO Threads
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are thinner-than-hair medical grade absorbable sutures.
Our PDO threads are truly cleared as a PDO in cannula device.
Our training courses are the most extensive in the industry offering a full day, hands-on experience where you are inserting hundreds of threads and working on 4 patients. We are also the specification developer for all of our products meaning we design and create all of our own models that are manufactured for us, we do not just import another company’s product line.
Many companies out there are claiming they are FDA cleared when they are not. The minute a PDO thread is inserted into a cannula, it becomes a whole new device that requires its own FDA clearance. So while they may have a PDO thread clearance, if they are pre-loaded into a cannula or needle, this requires a whole new 510k submission. It is imperative to do your research when choosing a PDO thread company and always request to see their 510K documentation if you are unsure.
Since PDO thread treatment is a minimally invasive procedure, the recovery time is quick. Most people who get this procedure done return to their normal activities after a day. Minor inflammation and bruising may occur in the first few days, but they usually resolve after two weeks.
Training
We offer extensive in-house training workshops where you will work on up to 4 patients on as many treatment areas as they need. We spend a full day with you and give you thousands of dollars worth in training threads to use that day so when we leave, you will be fully comfortable performing the procedures on your own.
