Beginner One-Day Hands-On Certification Workshop
Non-Surgical Face Lift
Course Description
This one-day fundamental training and certification course will provide a morning didactic that will address Rejuvn8MedTM Lifting Threads.
Lecture and presentation will cover history, chemical and biological properties, biodegradation, indications for use, contraindications, complications and side effects, and prevention and management of complications. Emphasis will be placed on technique--the cornerstone for successful implantation and optimal results. The hands-on workshop will provide the participant with a full hands-on experience.
Each participant will learn:
- How to perform a non-surgical “face-lift” using PDO threads
- How to insert smooth PDO threads in a crosshatch or basketweave pattern for lifting and filling wrinkles in the upper lip (useful for the treatment of smokers' lines and for emphasizing the vermillion border of the lips
- How to incorporate a foolproof method to reposition skin to accentuate the cheeks, diminish the jowls, and tighten the jawline
ESI's hands-on experience is designed so that each participant has the same experience as his/her classmate. We will discuss marketing strategies, consultation techniques, inventory control, and follow-up services provided by our PDO vendor.
What are PDO Threads?
Developed in Korea, PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lift is a new minimally invasive technique offering a subtle and natural looking lift which can generate collagen and elastin with the effects lasting typically 1-2 years. Polydioxanone sutures have long been used in surgery for cutaneous and subcutaneous suturing more than 30 years. Considered safe and hypoallergenic, this material meets all the requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for suturing. PDO Absorbable Threads may be combined and compliment many existing modalities with very few contraindications and side effects, and minimal down time. The use of PDO Threads shows visible results of rejuvenation and pathological stimulation of as much as 100% new collagen. Patients confirm increased skin rejuvenation, skin lifting, brightened skin tone, increase in volume, and an improvement in skin wrinkles.
