Frequently Asked Questions
PDO threads are absorbable sutures placed beneath the skin to provide support and stimulate your body’s natural collagen response. Depending on the type of thread used, treatment may focus on subtle lifting, collagen stimulation or both.
Smooth threads primarily create a supportive framework beneath the skin and stimulate collagen, while barbed lifting threads are designed to engage and reposition tissue. Your provider determines which approach is appropriate for your anatomy and goals.
Results vary based on the type and number of threads used, treatment area, anatomy and individual healing response. The PDO material itself gradually dissolves, while collagen formed around the treated area may continue to provide support afterward.
Some swelling, bruising, tenderness or tightness can occur after treatment. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions and explain when you can return to your normal activities.
PDO threads are often a good option for clients with mild-to-moderate tissue laxity who want subtle lifting and support without surgery. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll evaluate your facial anatomy, tissue quality and goals to determine the approach best suited to you.
They’re different tools. PDO threads can address tissue support and lifting; filler provides precise volume and contour; and Sculptra stimulates gradual collagen restoration. Your provider may recommend one treatment or a combination depending on what is causing the changes you’re seeing.

Not All PDO Threads Do the Same Thing
Different threads serve different purposes. Some are designed to provide subtle lifting and repositioning, while others primarily support collagen stimulation. Your provider selects the right thread—or combination—based on your anatomy and goals.
Smooth vs. Lifting PDO Threads
PDO thread treatments aren’t one-size-fits-all. Different types of PDO threads are designed to accomplish different goals, which is why your treatment begins with an assessment of your facial anatomy, tissue quality and degree of laxity.
Lifting Threads
For subtle lifting + repositioning
Barbed PDO threads are designed to engage the tissue beneath the skin, providing support and a subtle repositioning effect in carefully selected areas. They may be used when concerns such as early jowling, loss of jawline definition or mild tissue descent are part of the treatment goal.
Smooth Threads
For collagen stimulation + skin support
Smooth PDO threads don’t mechanically lift tissue in the same way. Instead, they are strategically placed beneath the skin to create a supportive framework and stimulate your body’s natural collagen response.
Sometimes, We Use Both
Lifting and smooth threads can serve different purposes within the same treatment plan. For the right client, combining approaches may address both tissue positioning and collagen support.
Why We Use NovaThreads
Gentle Touch uses NovaThreads, whose USA-made portfolio includes multiple thread types and configurations—giving our providers options to select based on your treatment needs.
The Gentle Touch Difference
The thread is the tool. The expertise is knowing which one to use and how to use it.
Our providers consider your facial anatomy, tissue quality and goals to determine the right thread type, placement and technique—creating a treatment plan designed for subtle, natural-looking support and lift.
