Smooth Threads
Smooth threads are a non-surgical, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment used to improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity. Unlike lifting threads, which have barbs to physically lift the skin, smooth threads are fine, dissolvable filaments inserted in a grid or cross-hatch pattern just beneath the skin's surface.
These threads, made of a material called polydioxanone (PDO), work by stimulating the body's natural healing response. As the threads dissolve over several months, they trigger a significant increase in collagen and elastin production. This process helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, tighten skin, and improve overall skin quality, resulting in a more youthful and revitalized appearance
The Non-Surgical Secret to Smoother Skin.
At Elite Medical Solutions, smooth threads are a non-surgical treatment designed to restore your skin's youthful texture and firmness. By stimulating new collagen production, this therapy naturally reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving you with a radiant, revitalized complexion
Improves Skin Texture:
Smooth threads work by creating a supportive mesh under the skin, which helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, particularly in delicate areas like the neck and décolletage.
Boosts Natural Collagen:
The threads, made of a dissolvable material called PDO, trigger a significant increase in your body's natural collagen and elastin production, which are essential for firm, youthful-looking skin.
Addresses Hard-to-Treat Areas:
Smooth threads are a great solution for improving skin quality and laxity in areas that are difficult to treat with fillers or other therapies, such as the under-eye area, around the mouth, and the neck.
No Immediate Lift, All Natural Rejuvenation:
Unlike lifting threads, smooth threads focus on pure skin rejuvenation and volumization without creating a "pulled" look. They help to naturally fill out hollow areas and restore a healthy glow.
Minimally Invasive:
The procedure is non-surgical, requires only a local anesthetic, and has very little downtime, making it a convenient and effective alternative to more invasive treatments.
Long-Lasting Results:
While the threads dissolve in about six months, the new collagen they stimulate remains in your skin for 12 to 18 months, providing a long-term improvement in your skin's quality and appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
The procedure is not considered painful. Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to the areas where the threads will be inserted. This ensures the process is comfortable, and you will only feel a slight pressure or a mild tugging sensation as the threads are placed.
The best results appear over the next two to three months as the threads stimulate new collagen production. While the threads themselves dissolve in about six months, the new collagen they stimulate can maintain your results for 12 to 18 months.
A smooth thread treatment is a minimally invasive procedure with very little downtime. You may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or a feeling of tightness in the treated areas for a few days after your appointment. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities within 24 to 48 hours.
Your skin's texture and firmness will improve gradually over the next few weeks and months as your body produces new collagen. Your final results will be fully visible after about three months.
