PDO Smooth Threads in Florida
is on its way from FACE Secrets
PDO Smooth Threads in Florida from FACE Secrets
Tighten. Smooth. Rejuvenate. Collagen-stimulating threads for natural skin renewal.
Not all aging shows up as volume loss or deep wrinkles. Sometimes, it’s subtler—a loss of firmness, a crepe-like texture, a gentle sagging that makeup can’t quite conceal.
PDO Smooth Threads address skin quality at its foundation. These ultra-fine absorbable threads are placed beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production, tighten laxity, and improve texture from within.
At FACE Secrets Florida, Dr. Daudrie Ann Powell delivers PDO thread treatments in the privacy of your own space—no clinic visits, no recovery rooms, just expert regenerative care that comes to you.
Because your skin deserves more than surface-level solutions.
What Are PDO Smooth Threads?
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are medical-grade absorbable sutures that have been used safely in surgery for decades. In aesthetic medicine, they’re placed beneath the skin to:
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production
- Tighten and firm loose skin
- Improve skin texture and tone
- Reduce fine lines and crepiness
How they work:
Once inserted, PDO threads create a controlled healing response. Your body recognizes the threads as a supportive structure and begins producing new collagen around them. Over 6-8 months, the threads dissolve naturally, leaving behind firmer, rejuvenated skin.
Smooth threads vs. lift threads:
- Smooth threads – Focus on skin quality, texture, and subtle tightening (no mechanical lift)
- Lift threads – Use barbs to physically lift sagging tissue (covered separately)
Treatment Areas
PDO smooth threads are ideal for areas with fine lines, laxity, or poor texture:
Face
- Forehead (smooth lines and tighten skin)
- Under eyes (reduce crepiness and fine lines)
- Cheeks (improve texture and firmness)
- Nasolabial folds (soften and tighten)
- Marionette lines (smooth and firm)
- Perioral area (tighten skin around mouth)
- Jawline (subtle tightening, not lifting)
Neck
- Horizontal neck lines (“tech neck”)
- Crepe-like texture
- General skin laxity
DĂ©colletage
- Chest wrinkles and crepiness
- Sun-damaged skin texture
Not sure if you’re a candidate?
If you’re noticing early signs of aging—skin that’s losing firmness but not yet sagging dramatically—smooth threads may be ideal.
How PDO Smooth Threads Work
 PDO smooth threads are ultra-fine, hair-like sutures inserted into the dermis (middle skin layer) using tiny needles. Once in place:
- Immediate micro-tightening – Threads provide subtle structural support
- Controlled inflammation – Your body initiates a healing response
- Collagen synthesis – New collagen and elastin form around threads over weeks
- Gradual improvement – Skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful over 3-6 months
- Natural absorption – Threads dissolve after 6-8 months; collagen remains
Results peak at 3-6 months and can last 12-18 months as your body continues producing collagen.

Ideal Candidates
You may be an excellent candidate for PDO smooth threads if you:
- Notice early signs of skin laxity (not yet significant sagging)
- Want to improve skin texture, firmness, and tone
- Prefer gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation
- Aren’t ready for (or don’t want) surgery
- Have realistic expectations about subtle, progressive results
Not recommended for:
Those with active skin infections, autoimmune conditions affecting healing, blood clotting disorders, or unrealistic expectations for dramatic lifting (consider PDO lift threads or surgical options instead).
Treatment Process: What to Expect
To optimize healing and results:
- Avoid touching or massaging treated areas for 24 hours
- Sleep elevated the first 2 nights to reduce swelling
- Skip strenuous exercise for 5-7 days
- Avoid excessive facial movements (wide smiling, chewing hard foods) for 48 hours
- No dental work or facial treatments for 2 weeks
- Avoid heat exposure (saunas, hot yoga, intense sun) for 1 week
- Expect minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness for 3-7 days
Common side effects:
- Mild swelling and bruising (peaks at 24-48 hours)
- Slight dimpling or puckering (resolves as threads settle)
- Tenderness or tightness sensation (normal; subsides within days)
Most clients can resume work and social activities within 2-3 days.
Post-Treatment Care
To optimize healing and results:
- Avoid touching or massaging treated areas for 24 hours
- Sleep elevated the first 2 nights to reduce swelling
- Skip strenuous exercise for 5-7 days
- Avoid excessive facial movements (wide smiling, chewing hard foods) for 48 hours
- No dental work or facial treatments for 2 weeks
- Avoid heat exposure (saunas, hot yoga, intense sun) for 1 week
- Expect minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness for 3-7 days
Common side effects:
- Mild swelling and bruising (peaks at 24-48 hours)
- Slight dimpling or puckering (resolves as threads settle)
- Tenderness or tightness sensation (normal; subsides within days)
Most clients can resume work and social activities within 2-3 days.
Results & Longevity
Immediate: Subtle tightening visible right away
1-2 weeks: Swelling subsides; initial improvement becomes clearer
1-3 months: Collagen production accelerates; skin continues firming
3-6 months: Peak results—skin is noticeably smoother, tighter, more youthful
12-18 months: Results gradually fade as collagen remodels; maintenance recommended
How many treatments will I need?
Many clients see excellent results from one session. Maintenance treatments every 12-18 months can prolong benefits. For more advanced concerns, Dr. Powell may recommend a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Safety & Considerations
PDO threads have been used in medicine for over 30 years with an excellent safety profile. However, as with any procedure, there are considerations:
Rare complications:
- Infection (minimized with sterile technique)
- Thread migration (rare with proper placement)
- Visible or palpable threads (usually temporary; resolve as threads dissolve)
- Asymmetry (correctable with additional threads or time)
Dr. Powell’s approach:
Conservative thread placement, expert technique, and thorough aftercare minimize risks and maximize natural-looking results.
Enhanced with Ultrasound-Guided Technology
Dr. Powell uses real-time ultrasound imaging to visualize muscles, nerves, and blood vessels during treatment—ensuring precise placement, enhanced safety, and superior results.
Hospital-grade precision in a mobile setting. Most providers rely on external landmarks—Dr. Powell can see exactly where every injection is placed.
Smooth Threads vs. Other Treatments
Smooth Threads vs. Neurotoxins:
- Neurotoxins relax muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles
- Smooth threads tighten skin and improve texture
- Best used together for comprehensive rejuvenation
Smooth Threads vs. Fillers:
- Fillers add volume to plump and lift
- Smooth threads tighten and firm without adding volume
- Complementary: Fillers restore structure; threads improve skin quality
Smooth Threads vs. Lift Threads:
- Smooth threads stimulate collagen for gradual tightening
- Lift threads mechanically lift sagging tissue with barbed sutures
- Different goals: Quality vs. repositioning
Smooth Threads vs. Lasers/RF:
- Energy-based treatments improve texture via heat
- Threads provide structural support + collagen stimulation
- Both effective: Choice depends on skin type, goals, and downtime tolerance

FAQ
Q: Do PDO threads hurt?
A: Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment. Most clients describe the sensation as pressure or slight pinching during insertion. Discomfort is brief.
Q: How long do results last?
A: Threads dissolve after 6-8 months, but collagen production continues. Results typically last 12-18 months. Maintenance treatments extend benefits.
Q: Can I combine smooth threads with other treatments?
A: Yes. Smooth threads pair beautifully with neurotoxins, fillers, and medical-grade skincare for comprehensive anti-aging results.
Q: Will people be able to see or feel the threads?
A: No. Once swelling subsides, threads are invisible and undetectable. Rarely, clients may feel slight firmness initially, which resolves as threads integrate.
Q: What's the difference between smooth threads and lift threads?
A: Smooth threads improve skin texture and firmness. Lift threads physically reposition sagging tissue. Smooth threads are ideal for early laxity; lift threads for more advanced sagging.

Tightness isn't about tension. It's about resilience.

And at FACE Secrets, it all happens in the place where you’re most comfortable.
