The Power Duo: Why Combining PDO Threads and Dermal Fillers Delivers Next-Level Results
In the world of aesthetic medicine, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to aging—and that’s a good thing. Today’s advanced treatments allow for personalized approaches that combine science, artistry, and innovation. At The Luxe Dose in Belmont, MA, one of the most effective pairings for facial rejuvenation is the combination of
PDO Threads and
dermal fillers.

What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (polydioxanone) Threads are absorbable sutures placed beneath the skin to lift and reposition sagging tissue. Think of them as scaffolding for your face—they provide structure while also stimulating collagen production over time. They’re ideal for areas experiencing laxity, like the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
As the threads dissolve over several months, your body continues to produce collagen in the treated areas, enhancing skin texture, elasticity, and firmness naturally.
What Do Dermal Fillers Do?
Dermal fillers—like those made with hyaluronic acid—add volume to areas where aging has caused hollowing or deflation. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, under eyes, temples, nasolabial folds, lips, and chin.
While PDO Threads lift, fillers
restore lost volume, sculpt facial contours, and smooth deeper wrinkles. Each treatment serves a unique purpose, which is why they’re so powerful when used together.
Why Combine PDO Threads and Fillers?
The beauty of combining these treatments is balance. PDO Threads offer a lift, while fillers provide plumpness and contour. Aging is multi-dimensional, so addressing both sagging and volume loss creates more natural and harmonious results.
For example, using threads to elevate the midface or jawline can create a youthful silhouette, while adding filler to the cheeks or temples replenishes lost volume. You’re not just pulling the skin tighter—you’re restoring the facial architecture from multiple angles. Other benefits include:
- Longer-lasting outcomes: Threads boost collagen, which supports filler longevity.
- More natural look: Lifting before filling avoids an overfilled appearance.
- Comprehensive rejuvenation: Combats sagging, volume loss, and skin texture in one treatment plan.
What to Expect From Combination Treatments
At The Luxe Dose, combination treatment plans begin with a personalized consultation. We assess facial anatomy, skin condition, and your aesthetic goals to determine the ideal thread and filler placement.
Treatments are typically spaced a few weeks apart—though in some cases, they can be done on the same day. The approach is always conservative and strategic, ensuring your results enhance your natural features rather than change them.
Downtime is minimal, with some swelling or bruising possible. Results are noticeable immediately and continue to improve as collagen builds and the filler settles.
Is This Combo Right for You?
If you’re noticing sagging, volume loss, or general facial aging—but aren’t ready for surgery—PDO Threads and fillers could be the ideal non-surgical solution. This combo is perfect for individuals in their 30s to 60s looking for subtle yet significant facial rejuvenation.
