Background: Polydioxanone (PDO) threads have been used to improve face sag and laxity; however, they are seldom used for body laxity. Similarly, onabotulinum toxin type A has rarely been reported for intradermal use in skin tightening.
Materials And Methods: We discuss use of PDO threads in combination with intradermal onabotulinum type A for the treatment of bilateral arm laxity after significant weight loss.
Results: Bilateral skin laxity of arm was substantially corrected with two sessions of combination treatment with PDO threads and onabotulinum type A.
Conclusion: A somewhat easy, significant, and effective technique leading to modest correction of arm laxity in this patient with PDO threads and onabotulinum toxin type A may suggest this method as an option for patients seeking non-surgical options with minimal downtime.

Introduction: The combination of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifting is gaining popularity for mid-face rejuvenation, especially among the Asian population. Despite the common use of these techniques, there is a paucity of long-term studies assessing their combined efficacy and safety. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined HA filler and PDO thread treatment for mid-face rejuvenation over a 24-month period in a Korean population.

Article Synopsis
- The long-term study aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction and pain levels following various facial aesthetic procedures while analyzing psychological and social well-being both immediately and one month post-treatment.
- Data was collected from 172 participants, predominantly female, using FACE-Q questionnaires to assess perceived age, satisfaction levels, and pain via a visual scale.
- Results indicated high satisfaction after 30 days, particularly among filler recipients, with many participants perceiving themselves as younger and reporting low pain levels, alongside positive correlations between satisfaction and psychological/social well-being.
