What Is The Difference Between Pdo Threads And Botulinum Toxin ?

What Is Pdo Threads

A thread lift can accomplish many of the same aesthetic objectives as a facelift but less invasively. Instead of using surgical instruments, a thread lift is performed with ultra-thin threads that lift and elevate sagging contours. The procedure can beautifully restore definition in the lower face, correcting jowls, wrinkles, and sagging skin. The threads also trigger collagen regeneration, which softens and smooths the complexion over time, improving elasticity.

  Contract fat tissue which instantly tightens skin

  Promote collagen production (something Botulinum Toxin does not!)

  Diminish fine lines, wrinkles and create a softer skin texture

  Offer facelift results via a minimally invasive treatment

What Is Botulinum Toxin 

Botulinum Toxin is a neuromodulator that works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals to the nerves that instruct the facial muscles to contract. When injected, Botulinum Toxin can dramatically reduce dynamic wrinkles, smoothing the complexion and rejuvenating the facial expression. Patients look more well-rested, youthful, and relaxed after Botulinum Toxin . For some patients, Botulinum Toxin can even prevent new wrinkles from forming in the first place.

Botulinum Toxin treatment is completely non-surgical and non-invasive. It takes just minutes to perform, with results lasting up to 3-4 months. While it can address facial aging, Botulinum Toxin is not able to combat skin laxity in the way that a thread lift can, so it might not be appropriate for those seeking a reduction in sagging skin.

While PDO threads are great, Botulinum Toxin is proven and loved by millions for its many benefits. For example, Botulinum Toxin :

  Prevents the development of future fine lines and wrinkles

  Can treat migraines when administered strategically by a professional injector

  Fights acne by preventing breakouts and potential scarring

  Has alternative uses to treat TMJ (lockjaw) and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)

  Is relatively painless, especially when the area is numbed

  Is a little less invasive than PDO Threads

Honestly, it’s up to you! Many of my clients love PDO Threads AND Botulinum Toxin , it just depends on your unique beauty goals and preferences.

Botulinum Toxin is a good option for patients who are just beginning to see the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and lines forming when they laugh, squint, frown, or smile. With no downtime, patients can quickly return to their normal schedules.

A thread lift is appropriate for those with more advanced signs of aging but who aren’t quite ready for a surgical facelift. It can address lines and wrinkles but can also reverse volume loss through the regeneration of collagen reserves and can elevate sunken midface contours. The tradeoff with a thread lift, of course, is the longer downtime, which lasts 2-4 weeks.
