Changes in skin firmness can gradually affect facial definition in areas such as the jawline, cheeks, and neck. As collagen levels shift over time, some individuals begin to notice mild sagging or reduced skin support in these areas. Many people look for treatment options that can address these concerns without surgery or extended recovery time.
MediThread is a minimally invasive treatment designed to support areas of mild to moderate skin laxity. At Purefico Medspa and Longevity Center in Cornelius, NC, our providers place dissolvable threads beneath the skin in selected areas of the face or neck. The treatment is intended to provide support in targeted areas and may stimulate collagen production over time as part of a personalized treatment plan.
MediThread is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that uses PDO (polydioxanone) threads placed beneath the skin in targeted areas of the face or neck. These dissolvable threads are positioned to support tissue in areas affected by mild to moderate skin laxity.
After placement, the threads gradually dissolve over time. During this process, they may stimulate collagen production in the surrounding tissue. Collagen is an important structural protein that contributes to skin firmness and elasticity. Because of this, MediThread is often considered by patients seeking a minimally invasive option for improving support in areas showing early signs of skin laxity. Results vary based on factors such as anatomy, skin condition, and treatment plan.
Reduced skin support along the jawline may contribute to a softer or less defined facial contour.
Changes in cheek support may lead to a flatter appearance or mild sagging in the midface.
Lines that extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth can become more noticeable as facial support changes.
Loose or less firm skin in the neck area may affect overall facial balance and definition.
Subtle sagging and reduced skin firmness may develop gradually as collagen levels change over time.
When performed by a qualified provider, MediThread may help improve support and skin firmness in selected treatment areas. Potential benefits include:

MediThread is a non-surgical treatment that uses PDO (polydioxanone) threads placed beneath the skin to support areas affected by mild to moderate skin laxity. These dissolvable threads may provide support in selected areas while stimulating collagen production over time. At Purefico Medspa and Longevity Center in Cornelius, NC, MediThread may be considered by patients seeking a minimally invasive option for improving skin firmness and facial support.
MediThread uses PDO threads that are placed beneath the skin using fine needles or cannulas. Depending on the treatment plan, certain threads may contain small structures intended to help support selected areas. As the threads dissolve gradually over time, they may stimulate collagen production in the surrounding tissue. This process can contribute to gradual improvements in skin firmness and support, though individual responses vary.
MediThread may be used to address mild to moderate skin laxity in several areas of the face and neck. Common treatment areas include the jawline, cheeks, eyebrows, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and neck. During your consultation, a provider at Purefico Medspa and Longevity Center will recommend the areas best suited to your treatment plan based on your anatomy and goals.
MediThread treatments are typically performed with a local anesthetic to help maintain patient comfort during the procedure. Patients may feel pressure, pulling, or temporary discomfort while the threads are placed. Treatment time usually ranges from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated. Comfort levels vary from person to person, and your provider will explain what to expect during your consultation.
Results from MediThread treatments vary depending on the type of threads used, the treatment area, and individual factors such as skin condition and lifestyle. In many cases, the threads dissolve gradually over several months while collagen stimulation continues in the treated area. Some patients notice results that may last approximately 12 to 18 months, though longevity varies between individuals. Maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on your treatment plan.
Some patients notice an early change in skin support after treatment due to the placement of the threads. Additional improvements may develop gradually over several weeks or months as collagen production increases and tissues adjust. The timing and degree of improvement vary between patients and depend on the treatment areas and individual response.
Recovery following MediThread treatment is generally shorter than recovery after surgical procedures. Some patients experience temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness for several days after treatment. Many individuals return to normal daily activities within a few days, although recovery time varies. Your provider may recommend limiting strenuous exercise and following specific aftercare instructions to support proper healing.
Mild skin laxity in the face or neck can gradually affect facial definition and skin firmness. MediThread may be an option for individuals seeking a minimally invasive treatment for selected areas of concern.
