Smooth PDO Threads

Smooth PDO (polydioxanone) threads are an advanced, minimally invasive aesthetic treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike lifting threads that reposition tissue, smooth threads are placed strategically to enhance skin structure, improve firmness, and soften fine lines over time—without adding volume or creating an overfilled appearance.
 
PDO threads naturally dissolve within the skin over several months, leaving behind a stronger, more youthful collagen framework.

How Smooth PDO Threads Work

Tiny absorbable sutures made of medical-grade polydioxanone are placed beneath the skin’s surface to trigger a healing response. As the threads dissolve, they stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—resulting in gradual skin tightening, improved texture, and refined tone.

Is This Treatment Right for You?

Smooth PDO threads are ideal for individuals seeking subtle, natural skin rejuvenation without adding volume or undergoing surgical procedures. This treatment is not recommended for clients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have active skin infections, autoimmune conditions, or uncontrolled diabetes.

What to Expect During Treatment

After a detailed consultation and treatment mapping, a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. Threads are gently inserted under the skin using fine, flexible cannulas or needles. The entire procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes depending on the areas treated. Most clients experience minimal discomfort during the process.

Before Your Appointment

• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for 5–7 days if medically appropriate
• Refrain from alcohol for 24 hours before treatment
• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin

Post-Treatment Care

• Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the insertion sites is normal and typically resolves within 5–7 days
• Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and facial massages for at least 5 days
• Sleep on your back with your head elevated for a few nights
• Avoid exaggerated facial movements (e.g., excessive chewing, yawning) for a few days
• Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your provider for optimal healing

When Will I See Results?

Initial skin tightening may be noticeable within a few weeks, but full results typically develop gradually over 2–3 months as collagen remodeling occurs. The improvements can last 12–18 months depending on individual skin health and lifestyle.
