If you have been looking for a way to restore that youthful "snap" to your skin without the downtime of surgery or the "overfilled" look of too many injectables, you are in the right place. At Ivy Wellness & Aesthetics, we specialize in treatments that work with your body’s natural biology. One of our most requested secrets for glowing, firm skin is Smooth Threads.
Unlike the traditional thread lifts you might see on social media that physically "pull" the skin, Smooth Threads (often called PDO mono threads) are all about quality over lift. They act as a scaffold for your skin to rebuild itself from the inside out.
Smooth Threads are a form of collagen induction therapy Cooper City residents are increasingly choosing for natural-looking results. These threads are made of Polydioxanone (PDO), a material used in cardiovascular surgery for decades because it is safely absorbed by the body.
When we place these ultra-fine, hair-like threads into the dermal layer of your skin, your body recognizes them as a "healing opportunity." This triggers a localized inflammatory response that floods the area with new collagen and elastin. Essentially, you are "mesh-weaving" a new foundation for your skin.
It is common to hear the word "threads" and think of a dramatic "Fox Eye" lift or a jowl-pulling procedure. However, it is important to distinguish between the two main types of PDO threads available at Ivy Wellness & Aesthetics:
If your goal is to fix "crepey" skin under the eyes, soften fine lines around the mouth (smoker's lines), or firm up a "turkey neck," Smooth Threads are your go-to solution.
Why does putting a thread in your skin make it look better? It comes down to the wound-healing cascade. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, PDO threads stimulate the production of Type 1 and Type 3 collagen.
As the thread slowly dissolves over the course of about 4 to 6 months, it is replaced by a solid "tunnel" of your own natural collagen. This process increases skin thickness, improves elasticity, and shrinks the appearance of pores. Even after the thread is 100% gone, the new collagen remains, keeping your skin firm for up to 12–18 months.
One of the best parts about PDO threads for skin rejuvenation is their versatility. Because they are so fine, they can be used in delicate areas where other treatments might be too aggressive.
Whether you live in Weston, Davie, or Pembroke Pines, our clinic is centrally located to help you refresh these high-visibility areas.
At Ivy Wellness & Aesthetics, every procedure is physician-led by Ivy Lawson. We prioritize an anatomy-driven approach, ensuring that threads are placed at the precise depth required for maximum collagen stimulation without visible bumps.
We start by assessing your skin quality. If you have significant sagging, we might recommend a combination of lifting threads and smooth threads. For general rejuvenation, a series of smooth threads in a "mesh" pattern is often ideal.
The area is numbed with a high-potency topical cream (and sometimes a local anesthetic) to ensure you are comfortable. The threads are then inserted using a very fine needle. Most clients describe the feeling as a "quick pinch" or "pressure," but it is generally very well-tolerated. The entire session usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.
You may experience mild swelling or a few tiny bruises (which can easily be covered with makeup the next day). There is no "hiding away" required. You’ll notice an immediate "glow" due to the increased blood flow, but the real magic happens at the 3-month mark when the collagen has matured.
When it comes to Smooth Threads Cooper City, the skill of the injector is everything. Placing threads too superficially can cause visibility, while placing them too deep misses the collagen-producing layer.

How much do Smooth Threads cost?
The cost varies depending on the number of threads used and the size of the area. Generally, a treatment session is much more affordable than a surgical lift and comparable to a session of high-end dermal fillers. During your consultation at Ivy Wellness & Aesthetics, we provide a transparent quote based on your goals.
Are PDO threads safe?
Yes. PDO is a biocompatible material that has been used in surgery for decades. The threads dissolve naturally through a process called hydrolysis.
How long do the results last?
While the threads dissolve in about 6 months, the collagen they leave behind can keep your skin looking rejuvenated for 12 to 18 months. Maintenance treatments can help extend these results indefinitely.
Can I combine Smooth Threads with Botox or Fillers?
Absolutely! In fact, we often recommend "stacking" treatments. Fillers replace lost volume, while Smooth Threads improve the quality and tightness of the skin covering that volume.
If you are ready to experience the benefits of skin tightening Cooper City style, it’s time to book your consultation. Whether you are coming from Weston or Pembroke Pines, we are here to help you achieve your aesthetic goals with precision and care.
