Presentation The PDO Barb II Anchor 19G 100 mm device developed by Croma represents a major advancement in non-invasive medical lifting. Thanks to an innovative design integrating cogs oriented in two directions, this thread acts like a double hook to firmly anchor sagging tissues. This technology allows for the highly efficient repositioning of skin volumes, offering a gentle and rapid alternative to traditional surgical procedures. The results are remarkable, with minimal downtime and accelerated healing.
Composition
& Rheology Material: Polydioxanone (PDO), a fully bioresorbable polymer. Specificity: Multidirectional arrow-shaped cogs for maximum tissue traction. Needle / Cannula: 19G gauge, 100 mm length, featuring an ultra-thin wall and specific coating to minimize trauma. Packaging: Box containing 12 ready-to-use lifting threads.
Indications
This device is specifically designed for treating moderate to severe skin laxity. It is particularly indicated for lifting the middle and lower thirds of the face, redefining the jawline, as well as elevating the eyebrows and forehead. It is also applicable for body contouring and treating delicate areas such as the neck and submental region.
Posology The insertion of lifting threads must be performed under local anesthesia. The practitioner determines the number of threads and the implantation pattern during a prior consultation, based on the degree of tissue ptosis. The procedure is quick, generally taking 15 to 40 minutes.
Once in place, the thread induces a controlled inflammatory response that stimulates collagen production by fibroblasts, thereby consolidating the lifting effect over time. Storage It is recommended to store the threads in their original intact packaging, away from moisture, excessive heat, and direct sunlight, ideally at a controlled room temperature.
Contraindications Pregnant or breastfeeding women. Presence of active skin infections or inflammation in the treatment area. History of unstabilized autoimmune diseases. Coagulation disorders or heavy anticoagulant treatments. Known hypersensitivity to polydioxanone.
FAQ
Are the results visible immediately? Yes, the mechanical traction effect provides visible tissue repositioning right after the session. Results continue to improve over the following weeks due to neocollagenesis. Is the procedure painful?
Thanks to local anesthesia and the ergonomic design of the thin-wall needles, the treatment is very well tolerated and carries a low risk of pain. Does the procedure leave scars? No, this thread lifting technique is minimally invasive and requires no surgical incisions, thus leaving no visible scars.
