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.
