How effective is Miracu PDO for collagen stimulation?

Question

Compared with other popular treatments like laser resurfacing, platelet rich plasma (PRP) and other types of thread lift, how effective is Miracu PDO when it comes to collagen rejuvenation? Would it be safe or effective to combine any of these treatments to attain maximum results?

Jeffrey S. Rosenthal, MD · Answer

The PDO thread lift using Miracu or Mint threads, which are FDA approved, is an office procedure that supports, and lifts loose or hanging tissues of the face, neck and jawline.  As it is performed through tiny pin holes, the healing and recovery is quick and painless.  The PDO threads start to dissolve in 6-8 weeks and as they dissolve they are replaced with a column of collagen which can last 12-14 months, depending upon the patients anatomy and quality of tissue.  In the hands of an experienced surgeon the procedure is safe and most effective.

Anna Petropoulos, MD, FRCS · Answer

Hello! Thank you for your question. The Miracu PDO threads induce collagen growth and rejuvenation wherever they are placed, and are superior to other thread lifts for many reasons- the main reason being that they are made by molding rather than cutting, which creates a much stronger and more durable thread. This collagen regeneration happens below the skin surface, where as laser resurfacing and microneedling generally do not go quite as deep. It is important to work on collagen regeneration in all layers, which is why we focus on a multimodal approach to beauty in our office. The treatments all play together to keep our patients looking and feeling their best. Hope this helps!
