CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR THE PROCEDURE
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: As there is limited research on the safety of PDO threads during pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is advised to avoid this procedure during these times.
- Active Skin Infections or Inflammation: If you have any active infections, rashes, or inflammation in the treatment area, it is recommended to postpone the procedure until the condition has fully healed.
- Severe Skin Conditions: Individuals with certain chronic skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea, may not be suitable candidates for PDO thread lifting.
- Blood Clotting Disorders: Those with bleeding disorders or who are on blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin, aspirin) should avoid PDO thread treatments, as it may increase the risk of bruising and complications.
- Autoimmune Diseases: Individuals with autoimmune disorders such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis may not be appropriate candidates due to the potential for impaired healing and other risks.
- Allergies to Materials: If you have an allergy to PDO (polydioxanone) or any other materials used in the threads, this procedure should be avoided.
- Recent Cosmetic Surgery or Injectables: If you have recently undergone other facial procedures like Botox or dermal fillers, it may be necessary to wait a certain period before getting PDO threads to avoid complications.
POST-TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
- Avoid Touching or Massaging the Treated Area: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the area for at least 24-48 hours after the procedure. This helps prevent any displacement of the threads and ensures proper healing.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: For the first few days, avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold, such as saunas, hot tubs, or ice packs, as this can cause irritation or swelling in the treated area.
- Limit Physical Activity: Avoid intense physical activity or exercise for the first 48 hours after the procedure. Strenuous exercise can increase swelling or bruising and may affect the threads’ position.
- Sleep on Your Back: For the first week, sleep on your back with your head elevated to reduce swelling and avoid putting pressure on the treated areas.
- Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for at least 1-2 weeks after the procedure, as both can impair the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
- Cold Compress: If you experience swelling or bruising, applying a cold compress gently to the treated area for short periods can help reduce discomfort.
- Use Gentle Skincare: Stick to gentle, non-irritating skincare products for the first few weeks after the procedure. Avoid aggressive exfoliation, retinoids, or other strong active ingredients that can irritate the skin.
- Follow-up Appointments: Attend any recommended follow-up appointments with your practitioner to ensure that the results are progressing well and to address any concerns.
- Avoid Facial Treatments: Do not undergo other facial treatments, such as facials, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments, for at least 4-6 weeks after PDO thread lifting to prevent irritation or interference with the healing process.
- Monitor for Side Effects: While rare, if you experience unusual symptoms such as severe pain, fever, or signs of infection (redness, warmth, pus), contact your healthcare provider immediately.
