today I'm talking about a brand new type
of threat and technology hi I'm dr.
Johnny thanks for joining me were
talking PDO threats now with PDO threads
we have smooth threads and barbed
threads today I'm talking about a brand
new type of thread and technology that
we're using I'll tell it I'll show it to
you and we'll talk about why we have a
new technology in this market what it
means and maybe the mechanism behind it
so with PDO threads the resorbable
threads that go away over several months
we have smooth threads that we put in to
create collagen to lift a little bit to
stop lines and folds and then there's
the barbed threads and that's what
everyone assumes with the thread or the
thread lift which is one of the most
searched terms is the lift a bit of a
misnomer because yes the barbed threads
which have little hooks on them lifts
the skin they work best with concomitant
treatments with fillers with
neuromodulators it's a tool in the
toolbox there's no real thread lift as
we're gonna not do a facelift but a
thread lift so think of threads that way
now when we talk about barbed threads
gonna show you a diagram here and if you
look at the thread the little barbs here
on the thread and now we're looking at
the resorption of those threads on the
barbed particularly you see where the
barbs will be the first one to resorb
whereas the body of the thread will
reabsorb later because it's thicker by
Nature so one of the problems with the
bomb threat is people say after month
two or three hey it fell down I don't
quite see the result there's the long
term collagen building but yes some of
the barbs there's relaxation now let's
look at the new molded thread in this
diagram you can see within the cannula
there's more thread because there's no
individual verbs however there's a block
bar it's a block kind of a
a structure that will hold the tissue
would be in place and those little barbs
are not present thus not only do you get
more thread but you get more lift for
longer because that large block won't
resorb like that small wisp of thread so
a lot of people said why didn't you
think of that sooner and this is the
development of threads particularly in
this country they came from other
countries but now people America want
lift so the development I believe of the
threads is improving quite exponentially
because of America's need to get lift
and remember lift is not just from the
thread but everything you do but I
wanted to show you that thread and in my
experience with them you could pretty
much lift the the hand off the table
with these threads I mean it has one of
the key points that everyone's talking
about the strength of these threads and
which ones are the strongest well you
can see now it's not just a strength of
the thread but it's actually how the
barbs are formed but when you put these
in and you lift it you can move the
person's head it does not give one
caveat keep in mind as you go more
aggressive these are typically 18 19
gauge you're putting them in the face
they are a little more painful of course
they're longer lasting people love long
lasting while it looks great if they
didn't like the look
it also can last long and it's more of a
procedure so just keep in mind as you
get more aggressive it comes with some
of the issues that come with being more
aggressive it's not for everybody so
there's the molded thread tell me what
you think have you used them thanks for
joining me here on youtube join me also
over on instagram for tips and helpful
information to keep your skin and body
beautiful healthy and vibrance
