Smooth PDO Thread Therapy
Stimulate. Strengthen. Smooth.
At BodyBalance Clinic, our Smooth PDO Thread Therapy offers a minimally invasive, collagen-stimulating solution designed to rejuvenate and refine the skin’s texture. Unlike
PDO lift threads, which are intended to reposition sagging tissue, smooth threads are used to improve skin quality, firmness, and tone by activating your body’s natural collagen production.
What Is Smooth PDO Thread Therapy?
Smooth PDO Thread Therapy uses ultra-fine threads made of biocompatible PDO, a material long used in surgical sutures for its safety and reliability. Once placed beneath the skin, the threads stimulate fibroblast activity, triggering collagen and elastin production
that helps restore firmness, density, and elasticity from within.
As the threads dissolve naturally, they leave behind a rejuvenated framework of connective tissue—leading to progressive improvement in skin tone, hydration, and resilience.
Clinical Benefits of Smooth PDO Thread Therapy
Smooth PDO Threads can effectively improve: Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Crepey or thinning skin Mild skin laxity
- Uneven or rough skin texture Dullness and loss of elasticity
- The most commonly treated areas include the cheeks, neck, jawline, under-eye area, nasolabial folds, and décolletage. Results appear gradually over 4–6 weeks as collagen remodels, leaving skin tighter, smoother, and more supple.

Smooth PDO – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes. Smooth PDO Threads are made of medical-grade, absorbable polydioxanone, a material safely used in sutures for decades. When performed by a qualified medical provider under sterile conditions, the treatment is both safe and effective for most patients.
Before:
- Avoid Botox or other neurotoxin treatments for 5–7 days before your PDO thread appointment.
- Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and anti-inflammatory medications for 24 hours prior.
- Discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, and topical acids for 3–5 days before treatment. Stay hydrated and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
During:
The treatment typically lasts 30–45 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated. Fine PDO threads are gently inserted into the skin using a microcannula or fine needle. Most
patients experience mild pressure or a slight stinging sensation.
After:
- Minor swelling, tenderness, or small bruises may appear and usually subside within a few days. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or direct heat exposure for 48 hours.
- Avoid facial massage or manipulation for 2 weeks to allow proper thread integration. Sleep on your back for several days and avoid applying pressure to the treated areas.
Results begin to develop gradually over 4–6 weeks, improving as collagen builds. Effects continue to enhance over the next several months.
Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on individual collagen response, lifestyle, and age. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year help sustain results and continued skin improvement.
Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including minor redness, swelling, or bruising at insertion sites. Rarely, small dimpling or thread visibility may occur but usually resolves within a few days as the skin settles.
Yes—combining Smooth PDO Threads with complementary procedures is highly encouraged to enhance overall skin rejuvenation. This therapy can safely be paired with:
- Microneedling to refine surface texture and promote additional collagen stimulation.
- Meso-Face Lift Therapy (Mesh-Lift) to deliver hydrating and nourishing nutrients to deeper skin layers.
- Neurotoxins (Botox) or PRP to further smooth and revitalize the complexion.
These combination approaches allow for a multi-layer rejuvenation effect, addressing both skin structure and surface quality for optimal, natural results.
This treatment is ideal for men and women who:
- Have early signs of aging or skin laxity
- Want to improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity without surgery Prefer gradual, natural-looking results
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
