Skip to content Embrace Medspa in Torrance, CA, offers two types of PDO Threads: lifting and smooth threads. These threads are made of medical-grade polydioxanone (PDO) material and provide non-surgical solutions to enhance the skin’s appearance. Lifting threads are designed to lift and tighten sagging tissues physically, creating noticeable improvement in facial contours. Conversely, smooth threads promote collagen production and improve skin texture by encouraging natural rejuvenation. Resulting from the two types of collagen, the skin has more structural support, which helps reduce the signs of aging and improve the quality of the skin.
PDO Threads are ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin sagging, targeting areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, and eyebrows. Results from lifting threads are often visible immediately as they reposition tissue for a more youthful look. In contrast, smooth threads work gradually, enhancing skin texture and elasticity over the following weeks. There is little downtime associated with this treatment, and it delivers lasting results for several months to over a year, depending on individual factors such as age, skin type, and lifestyle.
Lifting threads are inserted into specific areas of the skin to reposition sagging tissue, providing an immediate lifting effect. Smooth threads are placed to stimulate collagen production over time, helping improve skin texture and elasticity. Both thread types dissolve gradually, enhancing skin structure and rejuvenating appearance.
In general, treatments last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated and the type of threads used.
Some temporary bruising, swelling, or redness may occur following the procedure, but these side effects usually resolve within a few days to a week.
The effects of lifting threads can last several months to over a year, while the results from smooth threads continue to improve as collagen builds, offering long-term improvements in skin texture and firmness.
Yes, PDO Threads are widely used in medical aesthetics and are considered safe when performed by trained professionals. The threads dissolve naturally over time without harm to the body.
