Our Approach in Clinton Township
We assess skin thickness and laxity to see if smooth threads fit, and combine them with other treatments when that serves you better.
PDO Threads, Done Thoughtfully
PDO (polydioxanone) is a dissolvable suture material used in medicine for decades. Smooth threads have no barbs; they are placed in a mesh-like pattern under the skin, where they gradually dissolve while your body builds collagen around them. Smooth threads are designed for skin quality and firmness rather than dramatic lifting.
After numbing, your provider inserts threads using very fine needles that are removed, leaving the thread in place. Treatment usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Results develop gradually over the following weeks as collagen builds.
Smooth threads work with your skin’s own repair process.
