Best PDO Thread Face Lift in Parma

Jennifer Dillon, Founder of Ohzone Clinics and Ohzone Medical, sits down with Ohzone Medical Director Dr. Joe Cleaver to discuss PDO Threads. In our aesthetics division at Ohzone Medical, we have proprietary PDO Thread protocols. 

PDO Threads have been on the scene for some time and continue to be a sought-after treatment option in Aesthetics. Dr. Cleaver utilizes this procedure in his practice and has been teaching PDO thread technique for over nine years. Therefore, he is very aware that the quality of the PDO thread being used is extremely important. When seeking out a practitioner learned in the application of PDO threads, it is critical that the material used during this procedure is cleared by the FDA. All the threads used at Ohzone Medical are in fact FDA cleared. 

At this point, you may be asking yourself, what exactly is a PDO thread and how does it work. The actual thread itself is made of safe, non-toxic material that dissolves over a period of 6 months. The PDO thread is placed beneath the skin with a canula, or blunt tip needle, to lift the area being targeted. Barbed threads are designed to attach to the tissue several layers down in the subcutaneous plane. Once placed, the targeted area often appears firmer and lifted, giving off a more youthful appearance. Commonly treated areas include the lower face, around the “jowls”, neck, or even the brow area. Dr. Cleaver’s expertise with PDO threads also allows him to perform a non-surgical rhinoplasty to aesthetically enhance the patient’s nose. 

Sounds amazing so far, right? Now, how long do the results from threads last? That depends on the quality of the skin being treated, the age of the patient, and one’s overall health. Typically results will last anywhere from 12-15 months. The threads slowly dissolve over time, ideally leaving in their wake increased collagen production ultimately resulting in healthier, firmer, and more youthful appearing skin.
