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.
