The Benefits of Smooth PDO Threads at Uplifted Medical Aesthetics



At Uplifted Medical Aesthetics, we specialize in advanced, non-surgical cosmetic treatments that provide transformative results with minimal downtime. One of our most popular services is smooth PDO threads, an innovative procedure that rejuvenates and tightens the skin. Under the expert care of Hula Castellon, a nationally recognized top PDO thread specialist, our patients experience outstanding, natural-looking results. In this blog, we’ll explore everything you need to know about smooth PDO threads, their benefits, and why Uplifted is the premier destination for this service.

What Are PDO Threads?

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are absorbable

 medical-grade sutures that have been safely used for years in various medical applications, such as surgery. In aesthetics, PDO threads are strategically placed under the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve skin structure. The threads dissolve over time, but the new collagen they encourage remains, enhancing skin elasticity, texture, and firmness.


At Uplifted Medical Aesthetics, we offer smooth PDO threads, which are designed to target skin laxity and promote a youthful glow without adding bulk or creating an overdone appearance.


What Are Smooth PDO Threads?


Unlike barbed or lifting PDO threads, which are designed to reposition sagging skin, smooth PDO threads focus on stimulating collagen production. These threads are thinner and inserted into areas where fine lines, wrinkles, or skin laxity are present. They work by prompting the body’s natural healing response, leading to firmer, tighter, and more radiant skin over time.


Top Benefits of Smooth PDO Threads


Smooth PDO threads provide a range of aesthetic and skin health benefits. Here’s why this procedure is a game-changer for those looking to rejuvenate their skin naturally:


1. Stimulates Collagen Production

Collagen is essential for maintaining youthful, plump skin. As we age, collagen production declines, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and skin laxity. Smooth PDO threads act as a stimulus, encouraging your body to produce more collagen around the thread insertion points. This natural process restores volume and elasticity over time, providing subtle yet noticeable improvements.


2. Minimally Invasive with Little to No Downtime

One of the biggest advantages of smooth PDO threads is that the procedure is minimally invasive. Unlike surgical facelifts or invasive skin-tightening procedures, there is no cutting, scarring, or extended recovery period. Most patients return to their regular activities within a day or two, making this an ideal treatment for those with busy lifestyles.


3. Improves Skin Texture and Tightness

Smooth PDO threads are particularly effective for improving skin texture. They help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars by boosting collagen levels and enhancing the skin’s structural integrity. Over time, patients notice that their skin feels firmer and smoother, with a more even tone.


4. Long-Lasting, Natural Results

Although the PDO threads dissolve after a few months, the results are long-lasting because of the collagen production they trigger. Many patients continue to see improvements for up to 12 to 18 months after their treatment. The results are natural-looking, as the procedure enhances your existing features rather than altering them dramatically.


5. Preventative Anti-Aging Treatment

Smooth PDO threads are not only corrective but also preventative. By stimulating collagen and improving skin structure early on, patients can delay the onset of wrinkles and sagging. Many individuals in their late 20s and 30s choose this treatment to maintain their youthful appearance and avoid more invasive procedures later in life.


6. Versatility for Multiple Treatment Areas

Smooth PDO threads can be used on various areas of the face and body, making them a versatile option for aesthetic enhancement. Common treatment areas include:

    •    Forehead (to reduce fine lines)

    •    Crow’s feet

    •    Under-eye area (for skin tightening and smoothing)

    •    Cheeks and nasolabial folds

    •    Jawline and chin

    •    Neck (to improve laxity and fine lines)

    •    Décolletage and chest
