Subtle tightening and collagen support. Smooth PDO threads are placed in the superficial tissue to stimulate new collagen and improve skin quality. They are designed for natural firmness and fine line softening without the heavy lifting effect of barbed threads.
What it treats
- Mild laxity and early sagging
- Fine lines and crepey texture
- Loss of elasticity on face, neck, and décolletage
- Areas needing gentle, gradual tightening
How it works
Biocompatible polydioxanone threads are introduced with fine needles or cannulas in a mesh or vector pattern. The threads act as a temporary scaffold and trigger a controlled remodeling response so fibroblasts produce fresh collagen and elastin. As PDO is resorbed, the newly formed collagen remains to maintain a subtle tightening effect.

FAQs
Will I look overdone
No. Smooth PDO threads focus on collagen induction and subtle tightening for a natural look.
How long do results last
PDO resorbs over months while new collagen supports the area. Maintenance plans can extend results.
Is the procedure painful
Topical or local numbing is used for comfort. Most patients report mild pressure or tenderness.
Can threads replace fillers or toxin
They address different needs. Threads support firmness, fillers restore volume, and toxin relaxes dynamic lines. Your plan can combine them when appropriate.
