What Do PDO Threads Do?
PDO threads are thin dissolvable sutures that are inserted into your skin via a preloaded canula. They have barbs on the end of them, which grab onto parts of the skin to lift it up and re-position it.
In this way, PDO threads are used to address a lack of definition under eyes and around the lips, to lift sagging skin, and to smooth out wrinkles — among other things.
As they are 100% biodegradable, your body will break the PDO threads down naturally over time. In doing so, it will produce extra collagen in the region, which not only helps the results last longer but also makes your skin smoother, plumper and more elastic.

What Other Aesthetic Treatments are Used with PDO Threads?
There are many other popular aesthetic treatments that are often used together with PDO threads to give people a well-rounded improvement in their face. Here are some of the most popular treatments that are often paired well with PDO threads …
- Dermal Fillers: Sculptra and hyaluronic acid, for instance, can provide immediate lost volume as well as enhance contour. They are especially effective for any area that has a lot of volume loss.
- Botox: These injections complement PDO threads well by helping to relax the muscles in the face. This, in turn, helps to reduce wrinkles and fine lines even more.
- Chemical Peels: Peels can enhance the radiance and overall texture of your skin. Working in conjunction with PDO threads, peels can help you achieve a rejuvenated and brightened appearance.
- Laser Treatment: Laser treatments can actually amplify the results of PDO threads. They will remove the skin’s outermost layer, while also addressing the pigmentation that lies underneath — resurfacing the skin texture in the process and smoothing out the skin.
What are the Benefits of Combining PDO Threads with Other Aesthetic Treatments?
While PDO threads provide amazing results on their own, there are a number of benefits to combining them with other aesthetic treatments. Depending on your specific skin type and condition, as well as what your desired outcomes are, you might choose any one of the other treatments listed above in conjunction with PDO threads.
Doing so can help you achieve results that are much more comprehensive, especially if you have multiple concerns about your appearance. By choosing the right combination of treatments, you can maximize your satisfaction with the outcomes as well, which of course is the ultimate goal of any treatment.
Combining treatments can also help you to enhance collagen production in your face even more, as both the PDO threads and the other treatments will stimulate this production in different ways and at different times. This can help to reduce any appearance of firmness or texture in your skin, leaving you with smooth, plump and glowing skin instead.
Finally, using other aesthetic treatments in combination with PDO threads can increase how durable and long-lasting the results are, which then reduces how often you might need to repeat the procedures to achieve your desired results.
