As we begin to age, our skin naturally begins to lose collagen and elasticity. This can cause droopiness around the eyes, midface, jawline, and neck. There are many procedures that can reduce the effects of aging, but they require anesthesia and significant recovery time.

At Luxe we utilize PDO threads to combat sagging skin and loss of collagen. PDO Threads are a minimally invasive treatment that tightens sagging skin tissue and replaces lost volume by lifting and promoting collagen production. During treatment, threads made of PDO (Polydioxanone) are introduced into the deeper layers of the skin. Once placed in the face, neck or body, these threads have 3 amazing effects on the skin: First, instant skin lifting. Second, it contracts fat tissue to result in instant skin tightening. Third, it promotes collagen production and neovascularization to renew your skin at the cellular level. All of this works together to give you enhanced skin texture, more elastic skin, and fewer fine lines and wrinkles.

Barbed Threads: Convenience of a Facelift without Surgery

While the idea of barbed anything near your face can sound less than appealing, barbed PDO threads pull their weight (quite literally). The unique nature of these sutures allows the thread to latch into tissues during implantation. This results in a smoother physical lift, allowing the thread to efficiently pull loose, sagging skin that can accumulate in the lower parts of the face such as the jawline and eyebrows. As a result, many patients who choose this type of PDO thread enjoy results like that of a facelift without the complications of undergoing surgery.

Another key advantage of barbed PDO threads? The prongs on the threads help in stimulating natural collagen production and tighten skin, providing a natural-looking facial enhancement. As the threads are made of polydioxanone, they eventually dissolve and leave results that last up to two years.

Smoother, Plumper Lips with Smooth Threads

Not all PDO threads are alike. While some patients may need the significant support offered by barbed threads, other individuals are simply looking for a lasting way to improve their skin below the surface. Stimulating natural collagen regeneration is a particularly effective means of bringing back youthful, smooth facial appearance without running the risk of looking over-treated. While kickstarting this important process can be done with dermal fillers, these solutions require retreatment throughout the year. For these individuals, smooth PDO threads offer a long-term answer. Much like their barbed counterparts, smooth PDO threads are renowned for their ability to stimulate elastic collagen synthesis. In the months following insertion, the body starts to repair and heal the tissue surrounding the absorbable threads. This process is what triggers the production of new collage and elastin in the treatment areas. As smooth PDO threads do not have barbs to pull back skin, they are ideal for stimulating the production process in areas that have deflated or creased over time such as the lips or cheeks.
