Facial rejuvenation is a rather general term. How one person is affected by the aging process could be dramatically different from someone else.
This means that the approaches to facial rejuvenation need to be catered to the individual patient and what their needs, wants and desires are.
PDO threads are a great non-invasive cosmetic treatment that can address many of the common signs of aging. This includes sagging or drooping skin, lack of definition, and fine lines and wrinkles.
Depending on a person’s unique skin condition, though, combining PDO threads with other treatments could provide a well-rounded approach to facial rejuvenation.
In this article, we’ll discuss the benefits of combining PDO threads and LED light therapy.
- PDO threads provide an immediate lifting effect and long-term collagen production.
- LED light therapy reduces inflammation, boosts healing, and improves skin tone.
- Both treatments are non-invasive and complement each other when combined.
- LED therapy may reduce downtime and enhance the results of PDO threads.
- Combining treatments offers a holistic, customizable approach to facial rejuvenation.
Combining PDO threads and LED light therapy can result in a one-two punch for addressing skin rejuvenation. The PDO threads can tighten and lift your skin, giving you a more youthful look. They will also stimulate collagen production, which will contribute to younger-looking skin.

What PDO Threads Do
PDO threads are thin dissolvable sutures that have been used in surgical procedures for more than 60 years. They work in two main ways: by creating a lifting effect to mimic the results of a traditional facelift and by stimulating the production of collagen.
Barbed PDO threads are the products that are used in lifting procedures. They address drooping or sagging skin and lack of definition by grabbing onto parts of your skin and underlying tissue, allowing the practitioner to reposition it higher.
Smooth PDO threads don’t have barbs on them and are typically used to address fine lines, wrinkles and other issues with the skin. They don’t result in a lifting effect, but they do stimulate collagen production in the treatment area.
Barbed and smooth threads can either be used separately or in conjunction with each other, depending on what the desired results are.
When you get a treatment with barbed threads, you will be able to see some of the results immediately from the lifting of the skin and tissue. Over time, as your body produces collagen to help break down and absorb the threads, you will start to see even better results — such as increased elasticity, smoothness and shininess.
Overall, you’ll be able to achieve very natural-looking results using PDO threads.

What LED Light Therapy Does
LED light therapy is a cosmetic treatment that harnesses the power of light to treat various skin conditions. It’s most commonly used for inflammation, wrinkles, acne and healing promotion.
Like PDO threads, it is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that can be done in cosmetic clinics instead of at a surgical center. It works by using different colors of light-emitting diodes, which are then shined on your face to penetrate through the skin.
Every color has a different wavelength, meaning that it will penetrate your skin at various depths. As such, each color accomplishes something different.
Red light stimulates collagen production, near-infrared is used for deep healing, green light brightens complexion and can even skin tone, and blue light treats bacteria.
The procedure entails lying under panels or having wands waved over parts of your skin to target specific areas. There are at-home masks that you can purchase and wear at home, but they often don’t result in the same level of benefits of getting a professional treatment.
Benefits of Combining PDO Threads and LED Light Therapy
Combining PDO threads and LED light therapy can result in a one-two punch for addressing skin rejuvenation.
The PDO threads can tighten and lift your skin, giving you a more youthful look. They will also stimulate collagen production, which will contribute to younger-looking skin.
LED light therapy, meanwhile, can reduce inflammation and redness and improve overall skin quality. It also increases collagen production, meaning your face will have even more collagen by combining these two treatments together.
Even better, when you do these treatments in combination, the LED light therapy can help to reduce the already short recovery period of PDO threads even more. This means that any redness, minor swelling and/or bruising you experience after a PDO thread treatment may dissipate even quicker than normal.
