Table of Contents

Getting that youthful look back in the face is something that many people desire today. Luckily, there are many minimally-invasive cosmetic treatments today that can help them achieve that.

Whether it’s fine lines and wrinkles, sagging or drooping skin, or lack of definition that’s their concern, treatments such as PDO threads can help rejuvenate the skin by providing a lifting effect and/or a “smoothing out,” making you look refreshed and more youthful.

There are a lot of concerns that PDO threads can address on their own, but there are also some areas that can be enhanced by other treatments as well.

Below, we’ll discuss how mixing PDO threads with laser treatments can provide a well-rounded solution to people looking for anti-aging treatments.

📌 Key Takeaways

  • Laser treatments complement PDO Threads by addressing texture, pigmentation, and tone.
  • Combining both delivers a more holistic anti-aging solution: lifting + resurfacing + color correction.
  • Fractional CO2 is best for texture and collagen, while IPL targets pigmentation and redness.
  • Consultation with a skilled practitioner is essential to tailor treatments to individual needs.

What Can Laser Treatments Do?

There are many different types of laser treatments, but generally speaking, they can address common issues with skin pigmentation, tone and texture. These are things that PDO threads cannot address, which is why they’re often used in conjunction. One example is fractional CO2, which can improve skin texture considerably by promoting the regeneration of collagen. That fits in perfectly with PDO threads, which also stimulates the production of new collagen in the treatment area. Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL, can improve skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation and reducing redness. Erbium lasers, meanwhile, can target the superficial layers of the skin and refine them, helping to improve fine lines.

How Can You Mix PDO Threads with Laser Treatments?

As we get older, we often experience multiple signs of aging that we’ve discussed above. For instance, our skin might sag and/or droop while also becoming more red or even fading. By mixing PDO threads with laser treatments, you can address all of these issues at once, giving you back the look you had in a natural-looking way. PDO threads can address the sagging or drooping skin, for instance, through a lifting effect. Your practitioner will use lifting threads, which have barbs on the end of them that grab onto parts of your skin and underlying tissue and lift it up. Once the threads are inserted into your skin and placed in the right position, the practitioner will snip off the ends and remove the pre-loaded cannula that the threads were in. Almost immediately, your body will go to work trying to heal. As part of the process, it will produce extra collagen in the area, which will not only help to ensure the results last longer but also make your skin more elastic, plump and glowing — in a very natural way. Depending on what other concerns you have, you might use a fractional CO2 laser to improve the overall texture of your skin. The great part about this combination is that the laser will also enhance the PDO threads’ tightening effect, giving you even better results than if you were to do these treatments separately.
