Smooth Threads: Elevate Your Glow

Discover the magic of PDO smooth threads, a revolutionary cosmetic treatment designed to tighten and rejuvenate your skin. These ultra-fine, dissolvable sutures—about the thickness of a single hair—are crafted from a biocompatible material that has safely stitched wounds for years. Inspired by the remarkable skin improvement seen after traditional sutures healed, this technique involves placing these threads beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production, resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance. Embrace the transformation and experience why PDO threads have become a top choice for skin enhancement.

Explore the Versatility of PDO Threads

PDO threads come in various shapes, each offering unique benefits for your skin. The classic smooth threads, known for their ability to stimulate collagen production over six months, remain a popular choice. Twist threads, with their spiral design, allow for a more concentrated treatment in smaller areas. Barbed and molded threads feature tiny barbs that grip and lift the skin, providing a more pronounced effect. For detailed information on barbed PDO threads, check out our dedicated page. Smooth threads are commonly used to enhance areas like lip lines, the neck, marionette lines, and lower cheek lines.

The Benefits of Smooth Threads
Smooth threads offer remarkable, long-lasting skin enhancements. While initial results take about four weeks to become noticeable, improvements continue as the threads gradually dissolve over six months, with effects lasting up to two years. This minimally invasive, cost-effective treatment helps slow down the aging process, making your skin appear firmer and more youthful. Commonly used on areas like lip lines, the neck, marionette lines, and lower cheek lines, smooth threads are a versatile solution for achieving a rejuvenated look.

Smooth Thread Cost & Pricing
The cost of smooth threads depends on the number needed for your specific treatment area. During your in-person consultation at the Medical Aesthetics & Lasers our expert providers will determine the ideal number of threads to meet your goals and provide a detailed cost estimate.

How Smooth Threads Work
Before Your Treatment
To ensure optimal results, avoid blood-thinning medications like Advil, Aleve, ibuprofen, and Aspirin, as well as herbal supplements such as St. John’s Wort, Omega 3s, and Ginkgo Biloba, in the days leading up to your appointment. It’s also best to refrain from alcohol consumption before your treatment. To help minimize swelling and bruising, consider taking Arnica pills and eating pineapple. Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face for best results.

During the Procedure
Upon arrival at our Medical Aesthetics & Lasers Office, you’ll complete a brief medical history questionnaire and discuss the procedure with our skilled providers. A local anesthetic will be administered to ensure your comfort. The entire process is quick, taking only 5 to 10 minutes.

Aftercare & Recovery
Unlike barbed threads, smooth threads don’t pull the skin against gravity, so there are no exercise restrictions post-treatment. However, limiting excessive movement in the treated area, such as minimal smiling if lip lines are treated, can help reduce the risk of thread expulsion.

Are You a Good Candidate?
Smooth PDO threads are ideal for those seeking to enhance skin firmness and boost collagen production, whether as a preventative measure or for addressing existing signs of aging. For individuals with significant sagging, combining smooth threads with other treatments, such as barbed threads or surgical options, may be recommended.

Explore Similar Procedures
We also offer a range of collagen-stimulating treatments, including micro-needling, PRP, PRF, laser treatments, Sculptra injections, and topical treatments. Our expert providers can recommend the best combination of treatments to suit your unique needs and concerns.

Side Effects & Risks
Smooth threads have minimal side effects compared to barbed threads due to their smaller size. While bruising is a common risk with injections, it’s significantly reduced at our office thanks to the use of cannulas instead of needles. Pain is usually minimal, and any temporary nerve irritation typically resolves within two weeks. Thread extrusion is possible but rare; minimizing movement can help prevent this. Should you have concerns post-treatment, our team is readily available for follow-up care.

Smooth Threads FAQs

What are smooth threads?
Smooth threads are composed of the same dissolvable suture material used in internal stitches for decades. They are known for their safety and effectiveness in stimulating collagen production, enhancing skin firmness, reducing wrinkles, and improving overall skin appearance.

How Long Do Smooth Threads Last?
Smooth threads remain in the skin for up to six months, during which time they stimulate collagen production. This boost in collagen can continue to enhance your skin’s appearance and firmness for up to two years.

How Much Are Smooth PDO Threads?
The total cost of your procedure will depend on the area being treated, your cosmetic goals, and your individual anatomy.

Are Threads Better Than Fillers?
Threads and fillers serve different purposes and are often used together for optimal results. Smooth threads help restore collagen, improving skin firmness, while hyaluronic acid-based fillers add volume and moisture. Combining both treatments can provide a comprehensive revitalization of the skin.

Are Threads Better Than Botox?
Threads and Botox address different skin concerns. Botox relaxes specific muscles to reduce wrinkles, while smooth threads stimulate collagen production for overall skin firmness. Using both treatments can offer a synergistic effect, enhancing both the relaxation of muscles and the structural support of the skin.

What Are the Different Types of PDO Threads?
PDO threads come in various types, including barbed, smooth, twist (or spiral), multi-threads (multiple smooth threads in one needle), and molded threads. Each type serves a specific purpose, although all are made from the same polymer. For detailed information on each type, please click this link.

Which Thread Lift is the Best?
For improving skin firmness, any type of PDO thread can be effective. Larger and more numerous threads generally yield better results. For optimal lifting capacity, barbed and molded threads are preferred due to their ability to hook and lift the skin.

Is Dimpling Normal After a Thread Lift?
Dimpling can occur as a result of thread pulling or swelling and is typically normal, subsiding within one to two weeks. However, if dimpling persists or seems related to thread displacement or incorrect placement, schedule a follow-up with your provider.

Is a Thread Lift Worth It?
Absolutely! Thread lifts offer one of the longest durations of collagen stimulation among cosmetic treatments. While other modalities stimulate collagen over two to five weeks, thread lifts continuously boost collagen production for six months, making them a highly effective option for long-term skin improvement.

Do Smooth PDO Threads Lift?
Smooth threads primarily focus on collagen stimulation rather than lifting. For noticeable lifting effects, barbed or molded threads are more suitable.
