Why Choose Posh for PDO Threads in Reno
Thread lifting is one of the most technique-dependent procedures in aesthetic medicine.
Success depends on proper patient selection, facial anatomy, vector placement, and understanding how threads work with your natural facial structure.
At Posh Medical, every thread treatment begins with a comprehensive facial assessment to determine whether PDO threads are the right solution or whether another treatment may better achieve your goals.
Your treatment includes:
- Comprehensive facial evaluation
- Customized lifting plan
- NovaThreads® PDO technology
- Precision thread placement
- Detailed aftercare instructions
- Personalized long-term rejuvenation planning
Our philosophy is simple: create refreshed, natural-looking results that never appear pulled or overdone.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO stands for polydioxanone, a safe, absorbable material that has been used in medicine for decades.
When placed beneath the skin, PDO threads create gentle structural support while stimulating your body’s natural collagen production as the threads gradually dissolve.
Although the threads are absorbed over several months, the collagen they stimulate may continue supporting the skin long after the threads themselves have dissolved.
Unlike dermal fillers, threads do not replace lost facial volume. Unlike Botox, they do not relax muscles. Instead, they provide support to the skin while encouraging collagen remodeling.
Why We Chose NovaThreads®
Not all PDO thread systems are created equally.
At Posh Medical, we chose NovaThreads® because they are one of the most recognized PDO thread brands in aesthetic medicine, with an established history of physician education and quality manufacturing.
NovaThreads offer multiple thread designs that allow us to customize treatment based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
How PDO Threads Work
PDO threads accomplish two important goals.
Immediate Support
Lifting threads gently reposition selected areas of tissue to improve facial contours and definition immediately following treatment.
Long-Term Collagen Stimulation
As your body naturally absorbs the PDO material, it responds by producing new collagen around the treatment area.
Over the following months, this collagen helps improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall quality.
Many patients appreciate that their results continue to evolve as collagen develops.
Types of PDO Threads
Every patient has different concerns, which is why NovaThreads offers multiple thread designs.
Lifting Threads
Lifting threads contain tiny barbs that gently support and reposition tissue.
They are commonly used to improve:
- Mild jowling
- Jawline definition
- Midface support
- Neck laxity
- Brow position
Smooth Threads
Smooth threads are designed primarily to stimulate collagen rather than lift tissue.
They are often used to improve:
- Fine lines
- Crepey skin
- Lip lines
- Neck texture
- Cheeks
- Areas needing additional collagen support
Your provider will determine which thread type—or combination—is best for your treatment plan.
What Can PDO Threads Help Improve?
PDO threads may be recommended for concerns including:
- Early facial sagging
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Loss of jawline definition
- Jowls
- Neck laxity
- Fine lines
- Crepey skin
- Mild brow descent
- Overall facial support
The best candidates typically have mild to moderate skin laxity and are looking for natural-looking improvement without surgery.
Why Threads Are Different Than Dermal Fillers
Patients often ask whether they need threads or filler.
While both treatments create facial rejuvenation, they accomplish very different goals.
Dermal Fillers
- Restore lost volume
- Improve facial contours
- Replace age-related volume loss
PDO Threads
- Lift and support tissue
- Stimulate collagen production
- Improve mild skin laxity
Many patients achieve the best results by combining both treatments as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.
Treatments Commonly Combined with PDO Threads
PDO threads are frequently combined with other aesthetic treatments for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Common combinations include:
Botox® Cosmetic
Helps relax muscles that contribute to wrinkles while threads improve structural support.
Dermal Fillers
Restore facial volume while threads improve lift and contour.
SkinPen® Microneedling
Supports collagen production and improves overall skin texture.
OPUS™ Plasma Skin Resurfacing
Improves skin quality and texture while threads address support and mild laxity.
Your provider will create a customized treatment plan based on your facial anatomy and long-term goals.
What Makes PDO Threads Different?
Many treatments improve wrinkles.
Others restore volume.
PDO threads uniquely address support.
They help reposition tissue while encouraging your body’s own collagen production, making them an excellent option for patients experiencing early facial aging who are not ready for surgical intervention.
The goal is never to dramatically change your appearance.
It’s to restore subtle support while maintaining natural facial movement and expression.
