What are PDO threads?
Threads made of polydioxanone, a safe, absorbable suture material used in surgery for over a decade. Lifting threads create a facelift effect, while smooth threads strengthen and tighten the skin.
How do they work?
Threads placed in strategic locations create tiny micro-injuries. As your body heals, it produces collagen, elastin, and fibrin and increases blood flow — leaving smoother, younger-looking skin.
What happens during treatment?
After a consultation to plan your thread placement, the area is cleaned and threads are placed with a very fine needle. It's a very quick procedure that feels like a little pinch — with no downtime.
When will I see results?
Most people see results within 4 weeks, with optimal results at 3–4 months. Treatments can be repeated about every 3–4 months.
What is Sculptra?
An FDA-approved collagen biostimulator made of biodegradable PLLA microparticles. In studies, two years after treatment, 88% of patients had improved skin tightness, 89% improved firmness, and 95% improved glow.
How does this compare to Botox?
Botox relaxes the muscles that cause lines; threads build collagen to smooth, tighten, and plump. They're a popular combination — and both are repeatable every 3–4 months.
