  • The decollete area is the area between the neck and upper breasts on the chest. It can reveal a woman’s age just as easily as her hands or neck. The decollete area is the second most prone to aging on the body, right behind the eye area. Its more delicate skin shows fine lines, sagging and wrinkles. It’s one of the first places to develop wrinkles due to the weight of the breasts, the folding that occurs when sleeping on the side, and chronic exposure to UV light. These processes result in loss of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid, which then leads to thinning and dehydration of the skin. Non-surgical PDO threads can lift, smooth and regenerate the area to bring back your youthful appearance. Results are immediate and last for 18-24 months.

What Are PDO Threads?

Known world-wide as the “The Miracle Lift”, AMI PDO threads are FDA-Cleared absorbable surgical sutures. PDO threading is a treatment involving the use of polydioxanone (PDO) surgical sutures that are inserted under the skin providing a smoothing and lifting effect in the face, neck, forehead, eyes, eyebrows, knees, and a number of other areas in the body. The threads have been in use for decades and specifically been used for lifting for over 20 years. They dissolve over time and leave new collagen in their place. The results typically last 18-24 months. 

How Does PDO Thread Work?

This procedure is non-surgical and offers a minimal recovery period. The medical practitioner will numb desired treatment areas with local anesthetic and insert tiny threads underneath the skin.

PDO threads are inserted under the skin providing the patient with immediate lift or volume. The threads dissolve naturally over the course of several months synthesizing new collagen and elastin production in the treated area. The result is a nonsurgical lift with little to no downtime, generally lasting 18-24 months. Most procedures take less than an hour!

Controlled Healing

PDO threads are fully absorbed over time. PDO threads promote the body’s “selective inflammatory response” which is one method to achieve controlled healing. Many aesthetic procedures such as fractional lasers, chemical peels, and microneedling allow the body to undergo controlled healing while repairing itself naturally creating new collagen and elastin.

As the threads are delicately placed beneath your skin, a gentle reaction occurs, invigorating your skin's natural response.

Mesh or Lift ?

There are two types of PDO thread techniques used to achieve different results

Mesh Work

PDO threads are inserted in a mesh work or hashtag pattern (vertically and horizontally) under the skin. This mesh work pattern serves as a foundation for new collagen and elastin production. This technique tightens the skin naturally overtime, smoothing the area and providing noticeable volume where volume has been lost due to aging. The results with this procedure are not as immediate as it takes time for the collagen and elastin deposition to occur.  

Lifting

Barbed PDO threads are inserted under the skin to provide lift to the surrounding tissue, giving immediate results. Barbed threads have the ability to immediately lift and reposition excess skin and facial fat pads that begin to descend as a patient ages. This natural repositioning reduces the appearance of age markers and deep expression lines (i.e. nasolabial folds, marionettes, jowls) while restoring a youthful V-shape to the face. Barb PDO threads also promote the body’s production of collagen and elastin which effectively maintains the lift, once the threads have dissolved, results generally lasting 18-24 months.
