Aesthetic medicine procedures are becoming an increasingly popular option as a way to rejuvenate, revitalize and reinvigorate parts of your face that have changed — or that you are unhappy with. The reason for the rise in popularity is because of the non-invasive nature of the procedures, especially when compared to traditional facelifts, which required surgery.
Unfortunately, you can’t avoid the aging process, but you can certainly do something about it to regain confidence and look younger without committing to a permanent solution that requires a lot of money and significant recovery.
When people today think of these alternative procedures, many instantly think of dermal fillers. And while there is certainly a fit for this type of procedure, fillers don’t serve every anti-aging purpose.
While dermal fillers can make parts of your face look plumper, their application can often be limited and not produce the results many patients want. What can help in that regard are PDO threads, which are dissolvable surgical sutures that are inserted into your skin.
Below, we’ll look at the similarities and the differences between the two procedures to see whether PDO threads are better than filler.

The best way to understand whether PDO threads are better than filler is to know what each procedure is.
Dermal fillers are essentially a gel that a practitioner will inject into parts of your face. The goal of the filler is to smooth out wrinkles, enhance contours on your face and restore volume that has been lost.
These fillers typically have hyaluronic acid as their main ingredient, which is great because it’s a substance that’s naturally-occurring in the body. It helps to maintain skin elasticity and moisture.
Dermal fillers provide immediate results, are versatile and are customizable. While they can be used on multiple areas of the body, they are most commonly used in lips — as made famous by Kylie Jenner.
PDO threads, by contrast, are thin surgical sutures that are inserted into the skin to tighten and lift sagging areas. These threads have actually been used for many years in surgical procedures, and made their way to aesthetic medicine in the last 30 years or so.
Some PDO threads have barbs on them, which grab onto the skin and help to lift it up. And all types of PDO threads stimulate the production of collagen, which in terms improves the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
This is one of the main benefits of PDO threads over other types of non-surgical aesthetic medicine procedures. Others include the fact that the results can be both immediate and longer-lasting, as well as the fact that the procedure can be customized to help you achieve whatever results you desire.
As you can see, there are several similarities between PDO threads and dermal fillers. So, what are some of the main advantages that PDO threads provide over dermal fillers?
First and foremost, the results of a PDO threads procedure will typically last a lot longer than those of dermal fillers. Both procedures are considered temporary and can be repeated as necessary to achieve your desired results.
That being said, the results from filler injections will typically last between six and 18 months. With PDO threads, meanwhile, the results can last for as much as three years.
Of course, how long the results last will depend on a number of factors, including the patient’s age, their body’s metabolism, their skin type and condition, and more.
Another major advantage of PDO threads is the fact that they can be customizable to multiple results. Dermal fillers are mainly used just to add volume and “plump up” a particular area of your face.
With lips, for example, they’re used to give a full look. But, if volume is not your issue, fillers can’t really help.
PDO threads, by contrast, can add definition to a part of your face, lifting up the skin to give you a more youthful look. And, since collagen production is increased as well, your skin will look smoother and shinier — in a good way — for a longer period of time.
PDO threads can help patients achieve skin that’s younger looking, while improving the texture, elasticity and tone of the skin. There won’t be any scarring left behind in most cases, which helps to create a very natural-looking result, especially compared to other options.
There are certainly applications for both dermal fillers and PDO threads. That being said, PDO threads are more adaptable and personable, and can provide longer-lasting results that are more natural looking than dermal fillers do.
That’s why an increasing number of people are turning to PDO threads today to address issues they have with their appearance.
