Smooth Treads
If you're looking for a non-surgical way to lift and tighten your skin, then Smooth Threads are a great solution for you. This innovative treatment involves using tiny threads inserted under the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production and create a more youthful, radiant appearance. Discover the transformative benefits of Smooth Threads as we delve into the procedure and how it works and provide insight into what to expect during your appointment.
What are Smooth Threads?
Smooth Threads are tiny, biodegradable threads that are inserted into the skin and smooth fine lines and textured skin. These threads are made of a material called polydioxanone (PDO), which is commonly used in surgical sutures. When inserted into the skin, the threads stimulate collagen production to create a more youthful and smooth appearance. Once the threads dissolve, they leave behind a network of collagen and elastin fibers that continue supporting your skin.
How does the treatment work?
The Smooth Threads procedure involves the insertion of tiny, biodegradable threads into the skin to lift and tighten sagging, aging skin. The threads are made of a material called polydioxanone (PDO), which stimulates collagen production, creating a more youthful and lifted appearance. The minimally invasive procedure can be performed in a doctor's office. Patients can expect some mild discomfort during the procedure, which is similar to receiving neurotoxin treatments. The results are immediate and continue to improve over time as the collagen fibers continue to support the skin.
What are the benefits of the Smooth Threads Facial Procedure?
The Smooth Threads Facial Treatment offers many benefits, including a non-surgical solution to lift and tighten sagging skin. The minimally invasive procedure can be performed in our office with little to no downtime. As mentioned previously, the biodegradable threads we use in the procedure stimulate long-term collagen production, creating a firmer and more rejuvenated appearance. Patients can expect immediate results that continue to improve over time as the Smooth Threads build up the collagen fibers that continue to support the skin. Additionally, the procedure is customizable to each patient's unique needs and can be used to target specific areas of concern, such as the cheeks, jowls, and neck.
What can you expect during the procedure?
During the Smooth Threads Facial Procedure, a local anesthetic will be applied to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort. The biodegradable threads will then be strategically inserted into the skin using a small needle. Their placement will be targeted to get the most smoothing and tightening of the skin and may be anchored to deeper tissues for additional support. The procedure typically takes about 15-30 minutes, depending on the treatment areas.
What is the recovery process like?
After the procedure, patients may experience some mild swelling or bruising in the treatment area. This is normal and should subside within a few days. Patients can typically resume their normal activities within a day or two but should avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may put pressure on the treatment area for at least a week. It’s essential to follow all post-procedure instructions provided by our team to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential complications. The procedure results can last up to 18 months, making it a long-lasting and effective option for those looking to improve the appearance of sagging skin.
