PDO Thread Lift and Smoothing in Arlington VA

Soft PDO Thread & Lift PDO Thread

What is Thread Lifting?

A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses temporary, absorbable sutures to subtly lift the skin. Instead of surgically removing loose skin, threads are placed beneath the surface to reposition it and stimulate collagen production. PDO (polydioxanone) threads are gradually absorbed by the body.

What is Thread Smoothing?

For enhanced texture, smaller PDO threads are inserted in a hashtag pattern. Smoothing threads are used to improve the appearance of skin texture and can be combined with Botox or dermal fillers.

The Difference Between Lifting and Smoothing?

PDO Lifting threads are barbed threads placed deeper in the skin to lift and reposition sagging areas while stimulating collagen over time. PDO Smoothing threads are smooth, barbless threads placed more superficially to support skin texture and firmness, without creating a lifting effect.

What to Expect

PDO threads are naturally absorbed by the body within about 3–6 months. Changes develop gradually and vary by individual. Your provider will review potential side effects, risks and alternatives during your consultation.
