Dermal fillers address volume loss and PDO threads address skin laxity! Dermal filler and PDO threads can be done by themselves or used together and are great accompanying treatments to one another. As we age, our facial fat pads shrink and fall causing nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jowling. Depending on your age, skin integrity, and volume loss, dermal filler may be enough to help re-volumize key facial structures to minimize the appearance of folds and aging. In other circumstances, filler alone is not enough and PDO threads are needed to first lift the skin to replace the facial fat pads up, creating a more lifted and youthful appearance. This lifting prepares your face for dermal filler and optimizes results!   There are also smooth, non-lifting threads that are wonderful to use for improving skin elasticity, texture, laxity, and volume. These smooth threads can be placed most places on the face as well as the body!
