Course Overview
The PDO Threads 101 course at RUMA Academy is a 5-hour introductory training designed for medical professionals—such as RNs, NPs, PAs, and MDs—who wish to expand their aesthetic skill set to include non-surgical lifting techniques using PDO threads. This comprehensive course covers patient selection, facial anatomy, various PDO thread types (smooth, barbed, twist), and complication management. Participants will learn to perform PDO thread lifts in areas including the cheek vector, jawline, perioral lines, nasolabial folds, neck, and eyebrows.
