Polydioxanone (PDO) tensing threads

Polydioxanone is a synthetic material that is used as sutures in surgery in the form of threads. It is a completely biocompatible, absorbable and sterile monofilament, obtained by the polymerization of P-Dioxanone.

The Polydioxanone threads, implanted using needles of different sizes and calibers, have a biological effect by fibroblast reaction and cause the self-induction of the body’s own type I and type III collagen fibers around the inserted threads.

The Polydioxanone material is reabsorbed by the organisms over a period of between 6 to 8 months, but the collagen fibers produced during the biological process of neocollagenesis last for more than 12 months, degrading more or less speedily according to the patient’s age, lifestyle, habits, their degree of ptosis and the post-treatment care.

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a medical treatment that involves the intradermal administration of active ingredients by multiple microinjections to correct aesthetic alterations (skin aging, wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulitis and alopecia, among others), as well as in the complementary treatment of painful conditions (rheumatic diseases, sports medicine, etc.).

Its effectiveness is based on three main concepts:

• physical stimulation produced by the effect of the needle (mechanical stimulation);
• pharmacological effect arising from the action of a solution or specific mixture of active ingredients;
• micro-dosage of the solution activating a greater number of skin receptors.

It is a minimally invasive technique that requires no preparation time and allows the patient to immediately resume their daily activities.

Carboxytherapy

Carboxytherapy is a non-surgical method consisting of the injection of medical CO2 in the subcutaneous tissue using a fine needle. The CO2 is distributed quickly and extensively throughout the surrounding tissues exercising a potent vasodilator action at the microcirculatory level, so increasing blood flow in the muscle and adipose tissue, releasing serotonin, bradykinin, histamine and catecholamines. In turn these substances activate the beta-adrenergic receptors, stimulating the lypolysis of the adjacent tissues.

In the presence of CO2, the organism will tend to reduce the imbalance in local oxygenation. Oxyhemoglobin increases the localized supply of oxygen, which provokes the vasodilator effect and the increase in the tissue’s oxygenation (Bohr effect). The toxins decoupled during this process are eliminated by the lymphatic system which results in an improvement in skin tone
