Smooth threads are great for patients looking for basic skin rejuvenation and tightening. Smooth threads are mono-filament sutures placed in an ultra-thin walled, sharp cannula. The treatment area is marked depending on the patient’s goals, and the number of smooth threads to be used is determined. Most areas require anywhere between 3–20 threads, depending on the treatment surface area.

Most versatile smooth thread. Can be used in lips, all over face, neck and body. Great for acne scars, necklace lines, vermilion border.

The Process

The practitioner places these threads intradermally in a grid-like pattern to trigger collagen production. Several threads are placed parallel to each other and then crossed in a 35–90 degree angle. The grid pattern ensures uniform collagen production to the entire area treated. This technique is excellent on the cheeks, around the mouth and eyes.
