If you’re looking to reverse the signs of aging in your face, one of the best options is to get a minimally-invasive procedure using PDO threads. These thin dissolvable threads can mimic the results of a traditional facelift and also help smooth out skin, allowing you to restore that youthful appearance in your face in a very natural way.
The reason why PDO threads produce such natural results is that they help to stimulate the production of collagen in the treated area. This, in turn, helps skin to look smoother, plumper and vibrant.
As we age, collagen production grinds to a halt, which is why PDO threads can be so advantageous.
If you’re interested in learning more about this procedure, you might be wondering what areas can be treated with PDO threads. Here are some of the most common areas that PDO threads treat, as well as how they work.
In addition to producing great results and having minimal recovery time, PDO threads can treat various areas of your face. Depending on your skin type, what areas you want to address and more, your provider can use a combination of different types of threads to help you achieve the anti-aging results you’re looking for.

Cheeks
PDO threads are often used in the cheeks to restore contour and volume. The cheeks are one area of the face that are very susceptible to sagging skin as we age.
PDO threads with barbs on the end of them will grab onto parts of the skin and actually lift it up. This helps to solve sagging skin and the lack of contour on certain areas of the face.
The extra collagen that’s produced as a result will also help to improve the texture of the skin.
Neck
Over time, skin in the neck can get loose and start to sag as well. This might make it look like we have double chins or flappy skin in the neck.
Through the extra collagen production, PDO threads can improve the tightness of the skin in the neck, while also combatting laxity. In the end, you will get a much smoother appearance in your neck.
Eyes and Eyebrows
Barbed PDO threads are commonly used around the eyes and eyebrows as well. They will grab onto parts of the skin to address drooping eyebrows or to add lost contour around and under the eyes.
Barbed threads can also be used in conjunction with smooth threads to address any fine lines that might have appeared around your eyes, as well.
The procedure can ultimately enhance the amazing facial features that you have in a much more natural way than other options on the market.
Jawline and Mouth
The jawline is also very susceptible to showing the signs of aging. PDO threads can restore definition to your jawline, helping to reduce skin sagging and jowls in the process.
Oftentimes, the jawline and mouth are connected in terms of aging. In other words, if you have issues around the jawline that need to be addressed, it wouldn’t be uncommon for you to also have areas around the mouth that need to be addressed, too.
PDO threads can do all of this. They can lift up skin around your lips and mouth so that it doesn’t make it look like you are frowning at all times, for example.
When used in conjunction with PDO threads in your jawline, you can get an all-around rejuvenating look for the lower part of your face.
Nose
You might not think about it, but PDO threads can also address issues you might have with your nose. They can lift up your nasal tip subtly, for instance, or even improve the overall texture of the skin on your nose.
This would be another area of your face where you could get great results out of a combination of barbed and smooth PDO threads, depending on exactly what it is that you want to get done.
