San Antonio, TX – It’s no longer just celebrities and influencers who are redefining aging gracefully—women across the country are discovering PDO thread lifts as the go-to alternative to the scalpel. At The Beauty Spot Advanced Esthetics & Training Institute in San Antonio, the rise in interest surrounding this non-surgical procedure is undeniable, and for good reason..
✨ What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are FDA-approved, dissolvable sutures inserted under the skin to lift, contour, and stimulate collagen. Originally used in cardiac surgery, these threads have found a second life in aesthetics, offering natural-looking lift without downtime.
Unlike fillers that add volume or Botox that freezes muscles, PDO threads actually reposition sagging tissue and trigger the body’s natural healing response—meaning you look firmer, tighter, and still like you.
🖤 Why Black and Brown Women Are Embracing Threads
“There’s a cultural nuance in how we age—and how we want to be seen aging,” says Teresa Chavarria, 27-year esthetics veteran and founder of The Beauty Spot. “For Black and Latina women, it's about lifting without losing expression. We want glow, we want contour, but we also want to look like ourselves.”
PDO threads provide exactly that balance. For women of color who are often underserved or misrepresented in aesthetics, this treatment delivers without the complications sometimes associated with laser or aggressive resurfacing treatments on melanin-rich skin.
💬 Real Talk: Who’s It For?
PDO threads are ideal for women in their late 30s to early 60s seeing early jowling, sagging cheeks, or a soft jawline. And yes, it’s totally possible to pair them with microneedling or collagen-stimulating facials for a long-game glow-up.
At The Beauty Spot, consultations are holistic and inclusive. “We look at the full picture—lifestyle, hormonal health, skincare routine, and yes, ethnicity,” says Chavarria. “Every woman deserves personalized, preventative beauty that doesn’t erase who she is.”
🔍 What to Expect
- Procedure Time: 30–45 minutes
- Downtime: Minimal (1–2 days)
- Results: Immediate lift + improved collagen over 4–6 weeks
- Longevity: Results last up to 18 months
Most clients leave with just minor swelling or bruising, and many schedule the procedure on a Friday and return to work Monday with no one the wiser—except for the compliments.
✨ Empowered Beauty with Purpose
What sets The Beauty Spot apart is not just the precision of the procedure, but the mission behind the practice. As a Latina-and-Black-owned medical esthetics center, it’s committed to training the next generation of estheticians in advanced treatments through inclusive education and community empowerment.
If you're looking for a way to glow up without going under, PDO threads may be your power move.
