Smooth Threads in Orland Park, IL

Smooth Threads at JEM Med Spa offers an innovative non-surgical treatment using PDO (Polydioxanone) threads to lift and rejuvenate the skin. PDO Smooth Threads represent a revolutionary advancement in aesthetic treatments, providing a non-surgical solution for skin rejuvenation. Crafted from Polydioxanone, a biodegradable material commonly used in medical sutures, these threads are delicately inserted into the skin to ignite collagen production. Operating beneath the skin's surface, they concentrate on areas susceptible to sagging and wrinkles, such as the cheeks, neck, and jawline. While the threads naturally dissolve over time, the collagen they provoke endures, preserving the skin's revitalized elasticity and firmness.

PDO Smooth Threads stand as a versatile ally against aging, offering improvement across various facial areas:

Lips - Smooth threads can subtly enhance the border of the lips, reducing fine lines and providing a more defined, youthful contour.

Crow's Feet - By targeting the delicate area around the eyes, PDO threads can smooth out these laughter lines, softening the appearance of crow's feet.

Brows- A gentle lift to the brows can open up the eye area, creating a more alert and refreshed look.

Nasolabial Folds - These threads can reduce the depth of nasolabial folds, softening the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.

Glabella - The area between the eyebrows can be smoothed, addressing the frown lines that often deepen with age.

Jowls - PDO threads can offer a subtle lift to sagging jowls, redefining the jawline and restoring a firmer, more youthful profile.

Does Smooth Threads hurt?

We understand that some people are hesitant to try a new procedure out of fear of pain or discomfort. However, PDO Smooth Threads are designed with patient comfort in mind and are usually well tolerated. The treatment area is also numbed beforehand to minimize any potential discomfort. Our goal at JEM Med Spa is to provide a seamless and relaxing experience for everyone.

How long do results last with Smooth Threads?

One of the best things about PDO Smooth Threads is that they not only provide immediate results but also stimulate natural collagen production for long-term improvements. On average, results can last up to two years, depending on factors such as lifestyle and skincare routine. We may recommend scheduling touch-up treatments as needed to maintain your newly refreshed look.

Is there any special preparation needed before getting Smooth Threads?

There is no special preparation needed before getting Smooth Threads. However, we do recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements to minimize potential side effects like bruising or swelling. Our providers in Orland Park, IL, will also review your medical history and any medications you are taking during your consultation to ensure your safety.
