Vol. 1 – Number 4 – 2020 Case report Page 42 Full face lifting with I-Thread PDO threads – case report Ana Laura Fontana1 Camila Fortkamp2 Diogo B. Mota3 Mahiara Fink Liell Kohler4 ABSTRACT Over the years, during the facial aging, we observe loss of tissue volume, loosening of muscle fibers, loss of elasticity and bone remodeling, culminating in lack of facial contours definition. These signs increasingly motivate patients to seek facial rejuvenation treatments. So Polydioxanone Threads (PDO) are gaining more and more prominence as a protocol of collagen fibers induction in the majority of collagen type 1 and tissue remodeling. The methodology consisted of a clinical case report with the objective of assessing lifting effect and collagen synthesis capacity of PDO lifting threads (I-Thread) for 60 days. The results obtained were highly satisfactory. It was concluded that facial lifting and increase of neocollagenesis with the use of PDO lifting threads (I-thread) is evident.
