PDO Threads are a non-surgical treatment designed to lift and tighten sagging skin. This procedure involves the insertion of polydioxanone (PDO) threads into the skin, which act as a scaffold for tissue that helps to lift and support sagging areas. The threads also stimulate collagen production, enhancing the skin’s texture and elasticity over time. PDO Threads can treat various areas, including the face, neck, and jawline, providing a subtle and natural-looking lift.
PDO Threads in Laredo, TX, are suitable for those who wish to improve facial contours and improve mild to moderate sagging skin without the need for surgery. Immediately following the procedure, improvements are visible, and they continue over several months as collagen production increases. The effects typically last between six months to a year, depending on individual factors. To experience the benefits of PDO Threads, book an appointment at Laredo Wellness and Aesthetics, where this treatment is one of our Injectables services.

During a PDO Threads treatment, the practitioner will clean the area prior to inserting the threads into the targeted areas. A fine needle will then be used to insert the threads into the targeted areas. The procedure is quick, typically taking about 30-45 minutes.
