Avoid lying face down until full recovery is achieved
Avoid using excessive facial expressions for about 1 month
Apply creams recommended by the doctor to the entry and exit points of the threads and keep the face clean for 1 week.
Protecting yourself from the sun as much as possible for 1 month, not doing heavy sports and avoiding activities such as massage and sauna.

PDO rope hanger is not a permanent application. The threads used in the PDO thread suspension application provide collagen to the skin, helping the skin look renewed and radiant. When these threads melt, the effect of the application gradually wears off. If the taut appearance is desired to be permanent, the PDO rope suspension process must be renewed.
