Question 1

What is PDGF?

Accepted Answer

PDGF stands for Platelet-Derived Growth Factors. It’s a treatment designed to boost collagen and hydration.

Question 2

Where can you use PDGF?

Accepted Answer

Currently Pari's Medspa in Little Elm uses PDGF to target under eyes for dark circles  and hydration. PDGF can be used in other areas of the body when injected  to promote hair growth and healing.

Question 3

How is PDGF different from PRP?

Accepted Answer

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) uses platelets from the patients' blood as the  injection. Results can vary depending on your health. PDGF uses  consistent ingredients that mimic the body's natural growth factors, so  you get reliable results.

Question 4

Is PDGF safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes! PDGF contains FDA cleared ingredients that work with your body to achieve a well-rested look.

Question 5

How does PDGF work?

Accepted Answer

PDGF is a lightweight injectable that mimics the body’s natural growth  factors—these act as messengers in the body that tell your skin when  it’s time to heal and regenerate. Once injected, PDGF kickstarts  collagen and elastin production to smooth fine lines, brighten dark circles, and boost hydration in the delicate under-eye area.

Question 6

How long does treatment take?

Accepted Answer

PDGF takes about 20 minutes. Minimal redness or swelling is normal, and any bruising typically fades in a couple of days.

Question 7

Will I need more than one PDGF treatment?

Accepted Answer

Most patients start with 1-2 sessions and can adjust from there. Your  Skin Clique provider will create a personalized plan that matches your  goals and skin’s needs.

Question 8

How soon will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Most patients start with 1-2 sessions and can adjust from there. Your  Pari's Medspa provider will create a personalized plan that matches your  goals and skin’s needs.

Question 9

What is the recommended candidate age for PDO Threads?

Accepted Answer

PDO is recommended for both women and men ages 30-60 who experience moderate
sagging in the midface, jowls, nasolabial folds, neck, and eyebrows. In addition to relieving
sagging skin, patients may also experience improvement in skin texture, fine lines, and elasticity from collagen stimulation and neovascularization, which will help soften wrinkles and fine lines and give the skin an overall firmer and tighter look. The procedure is also great for younger patients who are looking to define their jawlines with sharper V-lines and obtain a tight and contoured facial structure, or fix droopy eyelids.

Question 10

What are the benefits of PDO Threads?

Accepted Answer

Benefits of PDO Threads include:
• Excellent alternative to surgical options
• Long-lasting results
• Little risk of adverse reaction
• Little to no downtime
• Minimal to no scarring
• No incision
• Treats several areas of the face and body
• May be repeated as necessary
• Softens sagging, folding, or hollowing in the mid-face
• Softens jowls along the jawline

Question 11

What kind of results can be achieved with PDO Threads?

Accepted Answer

Results are immediate. You do not have to wait weeks or months to see
results. Although individual results may vary, common results achieved with PDO Threads include:
• Heart-Shaped, higher cheekbone contouring
• Cat eye contour
• Tightened, defined jawline
• Softer smile lines
• Softer eyebrows
• Smoother necklines

Question 12

Do PDO Threads interfere with other procedures?

Accepted Answer

PDO Threads are a great procedure to include with other treatments such as lasers, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), microneedling, injectables, BOTOX®, Xeomin®, and fillers. The threads can be used to target sagging skin, and fillers can be utilized for deep lines to create an overall youthful appearance to the face.

Question 13

How long does the PDO procedure take?

Accepted Answer

The procedure takes an average of one hour but can take anywhere between 45 minutes to 90 minutes. Patients will see immediate results after the procedure, which can last from one year to 18 months.
​

Question 14

Can you feel PDO Threads?

Accepted Answer

The actual puncture points of the threads may take a few weeks to heal, which means you may experience redness, soreness, and often a bit of tightness.

Question 15

Do PDO Threads build collagen?

Accepted Answer

The PDO Threads remain under the skin, but they eventually dissolve, spurring the body to naturally produce more collagen to tighten the skin. The threads also anchor the skin and lift it upward.

Question 16

Are PDO Threads better than fillers?

Accepted Answer

If you have drooping and sagging skin, then a thread lift is going to deliver better results than dermal fillers as it will help to lift and tighten your skin. However, if you’re simply struggling with volume loss around your cheeks, then dermal filler injections may be the best option.
