Not loving how your jawline looks when you glance in the mirror or scroll through your photo library? Plenty of people are in the same boat.
Factors like age, skin laxity and volume loss can soften lower face contours, making it harder to maintain the tight, sculpted jawline so many of us desire. Fortunately, there’s a non-surgical solution that’s quickly growing in popularity: PDO (polydioxanone) threads.
For over 40 years, Spa Sydell Integrative Aesthetics has specialized in advanced, minimally invasive treatments that deliver natural-looking results. Here’s what you need to know about how PDO threads can redefine your jawline and refresh your appearance.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO threads are biodegradable sutures used in aesthetic medicine to lift and tighten sagging skin.
These ultra-fine threads are inserted beneath the surface of the skin using a thin cannula, where they act as a scaffold to reposition and support facial tissues. This service instantly improves facial contours, especially around the jawline, while creating a firmer and more youthful appearance.
What makes PDO threads unique is their dual action. Patients experience mechanical lifting from the threads themselves and long-term skin rejuvenation as the body responds by increasing collagen production. Over time, the threads dissolve, leaving behind firmer, more elastic skin.
How PDO Threads Enhance Jawline Definition
PDO threads are especially effective for:
- Raising sagging jowls
- Improving jawline contour
- Creating definition between the jaw and neck
- Enhancing facial symmetry
Unlike fillers, which add volume, or surgery, which requires downtime, threads deliver a subtle but noticeable lift. The results are visible immediately and improve as new collagen forms, helping to maintain structure in the lower face.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
This treatment generally lasts less than an hour and requires little to no downtime. After numbing the area, your provider will place the threads strategically to achieve your desired look. You may experience minor swelling or bruising, but these side effects usually resolve within a few days.
