Something magical happens when you combine the lifting power of PDO threads and the wrinkle relaxing abilities of Botox! Learn how these services can be combined to make you look years younger. 

Looking for a way to look younger without surgery? Maybe you want to look younger and see significant results but not in a way that appears unnatural? Achieving natural, but still visible results is a real challenge, but combining PDO threads + Botox might be the answer.

Both treatments work in different ways to reverse the effects of aging. Together, they give more natural, longer-lasting results than either can alone. Here’s how it works, and why it’s one of the most effective non-surgical combos available in Prescott, Arizona!

What is a PDO thread lift?

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are medical-grade sutures placed under the skin to lift and tighten sagging areas—especially the midface, jawline, and neck. They physically reposition the tissue, and over time, your body produces collagen around the threads for added structure and firmness.
You can read more about this in our post on PDO Thread Lifts as a Facelift Alternative.

What does Botox do differently?

Botox relaxes muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. It’s ideal for smoothing out lines caused by movement, but it doesn’t help sagging skin. In short: PDO threads lift the skin. Botox softens the wrinkles.

Why combine PDO Threads and Botox?

Think of aging as a multi-layered process. Your skin starts to sag, muscles pull in new directions, and collagen breaks down. One treatment alone may address part of the picture. Together, they address more of it.

Here’s why they work so well as a pair:

• PDO threads reposition the skin, giving an instant (and gradual) lift.
• Botox keeps the results stable by preventing dynamic muscle movement that would otherwise pull things back down.
• Both stimulate collagen – PDO mechanically, Botox by reducing repetitive folding.
• Combination improves longevity. Botox can extend the visible results of your thread lift.

What areas benefit most from the combo?

Now that we know how well Botox and PDO threads work to reduce sagging and wrinkles, let’s look at some of the areas that most benefit when you team up these treatments.

Jawline and lower face: Threads lift jowls while Botox can relax platysma bands in the neck.
Eyebrow lift: Threads provide a subtle upward pull while Botox smooths forehead creases.
Cheeks and smile lines: Threads add support and contour, Botox reduces muscle tension.

You provider may have a different combination for you based on your unique situation, so always defer to a trusted professional when deciding on how to implement treatments like Botox and PDO threads.

How does the appointment work?

How does an appointment go when you are receiving both Botox and PDO threads? You may receive both treatments in a single visit or space them a few weeks apart, depending on your skin, goals, and comfort level. Your professional will help guide the process to provide you with optimal results.

Most patients return to daily activities within 24 hours. You might have mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness, especially from the threads, but it resolves quickly. Just remember to listen and carefully follow the instructions you are personally given for aftercare.

Is this right for me?

Ideal candidates are in their 30s to 60s with early to moderate signs of aging. It’s perfect for anyone wanting firmer, smoother skin without downtime. The best way to know if you’re a candidate is to have a consultation. If you’re not ready for a surgical facelift but want real lift and wrinkle control, this is one of the best options available.
