Comprehensive PDO Threads training course on the basic “Mesh” and “Lyft” techniques.

These new minimally invasive procedures consist of using absorbable PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads to achieve safe, in-office tightening and repositioning of the skin. The procedure requires no surgical skills and delivers great results with virtually no complications!

The threads are placed in the superficial tissues and can be used anywhere on the face and body. The procedure is performed in-office without any anesthesia. The treated area then mounts a controlled inflammatory response to the threads to provide the desired effect.

The focus of our PDO Threads training course is on hands-on injections so that upon completion each participant will have the necessary skills to fully master both MESH and LYFT injection techniques.

Each participant will have enough time to try the various kind of threads (Smooth, Twist, Barbs) on one or more areas (depending on time). Participants must bring their own model for the injections. PDO Threads which to be used during training will be supplied by AIAM.

Course eligible for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ and for AANP and ANCC credit.
