Okay.
Here's your ask, Dr.
Jean question of the day.
Remember in the more info below, if you want to ask a question, certainly ask it.
I'll play it back and answer it.
Hi.
My question is whether PDO threads, uh, contradict RF technology.
I've heard that if you get PDO threads, you should not get RF
treatments because the RF treatments will melt the PDO threads.
Thank.
okay.
That is an absolutely wonderful question.
P threads more and more popular, have many videos on them are app radio frequency.
So things like RF microneedling, morphia, secret infinity genius.
Those are common ones.
There's, there's probably eight good ones on the market.
Uh, and remember, most importantly with those is who's using them on your
face out of the top eight devices.
It's not the.
It's the person doing it in the settings, but if you have PDO threads, will it
melt them and will it affect them?
Uh, there's also RF, like Exilis like Vi's, uh, VFR, like Vi's, um, technology
that uses external RF, bulk heating to help reduce fat into contour that
this would include for those PDO.
And I'm gonna include PCL, N P L L a the three.
Most commonly used have a high melting point above a hundred degrees Celsius at
which point your skin would burn quicker.
So the device is unlikely to melt your threads.
If you have a good quality thread, once again, the result of a P.
Thread lift or PDO threads used to build collagen depends on the threads.
Used how many threads crumble, because they've been exposed to oxygen.
They're old.
They're not thick.
The design is poor.
The barbs are poor.
The molds are poor, but you don't know what the barbs in the molded mean.
Just searching tube molded.
I describe that Rajai Barb threads.
It's all on YouTube.
It's all here, but the design of threads is all important.
And then of course, who does them for you?
People lump.
Oh, I got a thread lift.
Didn't like it.
Well, who did it for you?
So it's very user dependent.
Some treatments are very user dependent.
Others aren't.
P threads are fillers are biostimulators are so it will not melt.
Now there's a caveat here.
Some of them use suction.
So some of the face contouring radio frequency devices use suction that
will suck the thread up a little bit.
It won't melt it, but it can straighten it.
It can unhook the barbs.
So if you have a puckering or a side effect, those devices
can help get rid of the side.
It will not actually melt the threads.
What do I do in practice?
One of the things about these videos, understand I'm telling you what
I see every day in practice, you get all the studies in the world.
It doesn't mean very much when people are talking about it,
if they're not seeing patients.
Okay.
So I'm telling you what I see.
Um, I use it same day.
Not a problem.
RF, micro kneeling, kneeling, and threads, same day.
I don't see a problem.
Um, and the chance that that needle, the RF microneedling
device, I use the very tip heats.
And in that sense, I'm not going to get the pigment problems, uh, that you
can get where the whole needle has heat through the duration of the needle.
So I like to use RF microneedling to remove.
From certain areas.
Okay.
Uh, and that's how I use it.
Uh, but I use it same day.
I'm not worried about it messing up the thread, but you can get ones that suck
and that could change how the thread is.
I would use the word.
Engaged, same thing with filler filler has a very high melting point.
In fact, some of it is autoclaved a lot of it is before we get it.
So it's heated to high temperatures for antibacterial effects.
There you go.
P threads in RF microneedling.
Great, great combination.
That's what I do in practice.
I can't tell other people what they should do in practice.
It's what I do ask below.
If you have a.
