UltraCol PDO

The purpose of the UltraCol injection is to stimulate the skin's natural collagen production to restore elasticity and firmness. The primary goal is to achieve a firming effect. It should be noted that the effect of the PDO injection treatment has a completely different purpose than hyaluronic acid treatment (”fillers”), which are usually used to create volume rather than to stimulate the skin's connective tissue.

Treatment indications:

• Restoring elasticity to the skin
• Increase elasticity
• Give firmer skin
• Tightening of the skin
• Rejuvenation of the skin

Common areas treated with the UltraCol PDO treatment include the cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline and marionette line of the mid and lower face.

This method is also effective for injection treatment of sensitive areas such as under the eyes, especially for sagging and wrinkled skin, where the treatment does not cause fluid retention as some other methods may do.

The treatment can also be used on the neck, forehead, backs of the hands and to achieve skin tightening and improved skin texture on the body (note that the method does not treat fat volume).

• Safe treatment
• Tried and tested material
• Patented and unique treatment
• Enables collagen stimulation, skin tightening and skin rejuvenation in multiple areas
• Minimal recovery time

Before any treatment, an individual consultation is always recommended to establish a treatment plan.

The UltraCol PDO treatment can be performed either as a course of treatments with a specific interval between treatments (usually around 8 weeks) or as a one-off treatment. In addition, the treatment can be combined with other methods, such as injections, vascular or pigment treatments, peels, etc.

The UltraCol PDO injection is suitable for both women and men of different ages. Younger people can undergo the treatment to prevent signs of ageing and maintain youthful skin, while older people can use it to achieve a more youthful appearance.

It is also suitable for people who wish to minimise the number of stitches or who are sensitive to pain, as the recovery after treatment is very mild.

As with all injection treatments, there is a risk of bruising and swelling. For the next few days after treatment, you should avoid sauna baths, intense exercise and facial massages.

Otherwise, you can return to everyday activities. There is no need to prepare or think about anything specific before the treatment. The treatment itself takes about 30 minutes and the product contains a local anaesthetic.

If necessary, it is also possible to come a little before the visit to apply local anaesthetic in the form of a cream. Your doctor will go through this during the consultation at our Gothenburg clinic.

It takes about 2 weeks for the results to start showing. However, it continues to improve over the next 3 months. Final results after 3 months.

1 treatment lasts for about 8 months. We recommend one treatment per year approximately to maintain the results. If you do a cure initially, you get a better effect and it can last longer, about 3 years.

The product is mixed with lidocaine, which means that the treatment is not perceived as particularly painful. Above all, the skin feels numb after a treatment.

It may last for a few days, but it can easily be covered with make-up. You can also apply ice or cold towel to the injection site for the first 24 hours to soothe the area.

Yes, they are. In fact, PDO threads have been used in cardiovascular surgery for more than 20 years and meet US safety requirements for surgical sutures. Our affiliated doctor is also trained to do the procedure.
