1. Lack of Health Canada Approval for PDO Threads
Unlike PLLA/PLGA threads, PDO threads are not approved by Health Canada. This lack of endorsement raises concerns regarding their safety and suitability for medical use. Health Canada’s approval is crucial as it ensures that the product has been thoroughly tested and is safe for cosmetic procedures. Without this approval, the reliability and standards of PDO threads remain questionable.
2. Superiority of PLLA/PLGA Threads
PLLA and PLGA threads are not only approved but also known for their excellent biocompatibility and effectiveness in tissue regeneration. These materials are designed to provide more than just a temporary solution; they stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen, offering lasting results that enhance skin quality and structure.
3. Versatility and Effectiveness of Fillers
Dermal fillers and semi-permanent fillers offer versatile and effective solutions for addressing signs of aging. They can be used to volumize, sculpt, and rejuvenate the skin, providing immediate results. Fillers are particularly effective in areas where threads might not provide the desired outcome, such as the lips, cheeks, and under-eye regions.
4. Limited Treatment Scope
PDO thread lifts often deliver only subtle lifts, making them less effective for more pronounced signs of aging or for patients requiring more significant facial rejuvenation. PLLA/PLGA threads, by contrast, provide a more robust structural support and a more noticeable, yet natural, lifting effect.
5. Better Alternatives Available
Given the advancements in thread lift technology, opting for PDO threads when safer, more effective, and approved options like PLLA/PLGA are available doesn’t maximize the potential benefits of thread lift procedures. Additionally, combining PLLA/PLGA threads with fillers or semi-permanent fillers can address a wider range of aging signs with tailored, effective results.
