PDO Threads in San Diego
PDO threads are a minimally invasive treatment designed to support the skin and stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. These absorbable sutures, made from polydioxanone (PDO), are placed beneath the skin to provide structural support in areas where mild skin laxity has developed.
At Glaskyn Aesthetics in San Diego, thread treatments are performed using White Rose Threads, a medical-grade PDO thread system designed to provide subtle lifting while encouraging natural collagen formation.
Once placed beneath the skin, PDO threads provide gentle structural support. Over time, they stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen, helping improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall skin quality.
PDO thread treatments can help improve areas such as the jawline, cheeks, neck, and lower face, where early signs of aging may appear.
Common Concerns Treated with PDO Threads
PDO thread treatments are often used to improve:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Early jowling
- Jawline definition
- Neck laxity
- Loss of structural support in the cheeks
- Fine lines and wrinkles associated with skin laxity
PDO threads are particularly helpful for patients experiencing early signs of tissue descent who want improvement without surgery.
Our Approach
At Glaskyn Aesthetics, PDO thread treatments are planned carefully based on each patient’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Thread placement is customized to support areas where the skin and underlying tissue have begun to lose structural integrity. The goal is to create natural-looking improvement by supporting tissue and stimulating collagen production over time.
Because PDO threads work by stimulating the body’s natural healing response, improvements often develop gradually as collagen forms around the threads.
Who This Treatment Is For
PDO thread treatments may be appropriate for patients who want to address early skin laxity without undergoing surgical procedures.
They are commonly chosen by patients who want:
- Subtle lifting of the lower face
- Improved jawline definition
- Collagen stimulation in areas of mild sagging
- A minimally invasive alternative to surgical lifting procedures
PDO threads are often combined with dermal fillers to restore volume while lifting and tightening the skin.
Treatments like Plexr plasma may also be used alongside PDO threads to improve skin texture and overall results.
PDO threads are not intended to replace surgical facelifts, but they can provide meaningful improvement for patients experiencing early to moderate tissue laxity.
