Cellular Mechanism Behind PDO Threads
- Threads cause controlled mechanical disruption and are hydrophilic, prompting collagen, elastin, and vascular responses.
- The thread acts as a temporary scaffold while the body rebuilds dermal structure.
Use Topical PDRN With Microneedling
- Use microneedling plus topical PDRN (PDO Glow/Lumenbi) post-procedure to accelerate healing and improve results.
- Apply PDRN on disrupted skin rather than injecting when possible.
PDRN Revascularizes Skin Without Injection
- PDRN revascularizes and accelerates healing; topical application on disrupted skin can be effective without injections.
- Studies in burn units support PDRN's regenerative effects.
