Have you noticed changes in your skin that make you look more tired or aged than you feel?

You’re not alone.

As we age, the skin naturally loses collagen, elasticity, and firmness. Over time, this can lead to sagging skin, fine lines, and a loss of definition around areas like the cheeks, jawline, and neck. While skincare products can help support healthy skin, they cannot always address deeper changes caused by collagen loss.

Many patients come to AVIA Medical Spa looking for a way to refresh their appearance without undergoing surgery or experiencing significant downtime. PDO Smooth Threads offer a minimally invasive treatment option designed to support collagen production, improve skin texture, and help restore a smoother, firmer appearance.

What Are PDO Smooth Threads?

PDO Smooth Threads are dissolvable medical-grade threads made from polydioxanone (PDO), a material that has been safely used in medical procedures for many years. These fine threads are carefully placed beneath the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing response.

Unlike traditional thread lifts that are designed primarily to lift and reposition sagging tissue, smooth threads focus on skin rejuvenation. They work by encouraging collagen production, improving skin firmness, and enhancing overall skin quality.

As the threads gradually dissolve, they leave behind a natural collagen framework that can help support healthier-looking skin over time.

PDO Smooth Threads are commonly used to address concerns such as:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Loss of skin firmness
  • Early signs of aging
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Dull or tired-looking skin
  • Mild sagging in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck

The goal is not to change your appearance, but to help your skin look refreshed, smoother, and more youthful while maintaining your natural facial expressions.

Why Does Skin Lose Firmness Over Time?

Collagen is one of the most important proteins responsible for keeping skin firm, smooth, and resilient. When we are younger, our bodies naturally produce abundant collagen. However, collagen production gradually declines with age.

Several factors can contribute to collagen loss, including:

  • Natural aging: As collagen production slows, the skin may become thinner and less elastic.
  • Sun exposure: UV damage can break down collagen fibers and contribute to premature aging.
  • Environmental stressors: Pollution and oxidative stress can impact skin health over time.
  • Lifestyle factors: Stress, poor sleep, and certain habits can affect how the skin repairs and renews itself.

As collagen decreases, many people begin noticing fine lines, changes in skin texture, and reduced firmness. PDO Smooth Threads work with the body’s natural processes to encourage collagen remodeling and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

How Do PDO Smooth Threads Work?

PDO Smooth Threads work by stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative response.

During treatment, ultra-fine threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin using a small needle or cannula. Once placed, the threads create controlled stimulation within the treatment area.

This process encourages the body to produce new collagen around the threads.

Here’s how PDO Smooth Threads work:

1. Threads Are Placed Beneath the Skin

A provider carefully maps the treatment area and inserts the PDO threads into targeted areas where skin rejuvenation is desired.

2. The Body Responds Naturally

The presence of the threads stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen and elastin production.

3. New Collagen Forms Around the Threads

As collagen develops, the skin may gradually appear firmer, smoother, and more refreshed.

4. Threads Naturally Dissolve

PDO threads safely break down over time, while the collagen support they helped create continues to benefit the skin.

Because PDO Smooth Threads work with your body’s own renewal process, results develop gradually and maintain a natural appearance.

What Areas Can PDO Smooth Threads Treat?

PDO Smooth Threads can be customized based on your individual skin concerns and goals. They are commonly used on areas where early signs of aging and skin laxity appear.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Face: PDO Smooth Threads can help improve skin texture, fine lines, and overall firmness across areas such as the cheeks and lower face.
  • Jawline: They may help support a smoother, more defined appearance along the jawline.
  • Neck: Threads can be used to address early signs of skin laxity and improve the appearance of delicate neck skin.
  • Around the Mouth: They may help soften the appearance of fine lines and improve skin quality in areas affected by collagen loss.

During your consultation at AVIA Medical Spa, our team will evaluate your skin and determine whether PDO Smooth Threads are the right option for your concerns.
