Types of Threads

Anchor Threads (Barbed)

Anchor threads, also known as barbed threads, feature tiny barbs or cogs along their length that act as anchors when inserted into the skin. These barbs grip the tissue and provide immediate mechanical lifting by physically repositioning sagging skin and tissue.
How They Work:
  • Barbs anchor into tissue for immediate lift
  • Physically reposition sagging skin upward
  • Create instant visible results
  • Provide structural support to facial contours
Best For:
  • Jowl lifting and jawline definition
  • Cheek and mid-face lifting
  • Brow lift and forehead tightening
  • Neck lifting and contouring
​

Collagen Stimulating Threads (Smooth or coiled)

Smooth threads have no barbs and work primarily through biostimulation. When inserted into the skin, they trigger the body's natural healing response, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. This creates gradual skin tightening and improved texture over time.
How They Work:
  • • Stimulate natural collagen production
  • Improve skin texture and elasticity
  • Create gradual tightening effect
  • Enhance overall skin quality
Best For:
  • Fine lines and wrinkle reduction
  • Overall skin tightening
  • Skin texture improvement
  • Preventative anti-aging treatment

What are Threads?
 

Threads are medical-grade sutures that have been used safely in surgery for decades. In aesthetic medicine, these biodegradable threads are strategically placed under the skin to lift, tighten, and contour facial features without the need for invasive surgery.

We use various types of PDO threads including smooth threads for skin tightening, barbed threads for lifting, and screw threads for volume enhancement. The threads dissolve naturally over 6-8 months while stimulating collagen production for long-lasting results.
