Smooth Threads Facial Procedures in Temecula, Murrieta, and Menifee
Smooth threads are a minimally invasive treatment that uses dissolvable PDO threads placed just beneath the skin to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike lifting threads, smooth threads are designed to improve skin quality, helping the skin appear firmer, smoother, and more refreshed over time. They are commonly used on the face, neck, under-eye area, and around smile lines to address early signs of aging without surgery.
If you’ve started noticing mild skin laxity, crepey skin, or a loss of firmness but aren’t ready for a surgical procedure, smooth threads may be a great option. At Newman Plastic Surgery, treatments are customized to your concerns and aesthetic goals, with a focus on subtle, natural-looking results. Whether you’re looking to refresh your appearance or support long-term skin health, our team can help you determine if smooth threads are right for you.
What To Expect
- Anesthesia: None required; a topical numbing agent or local anesthetic may be used to keep you comfortable during treatment.
- Length of Procedure: Smooth thread treatments typically take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
- Outpatient/Inpatient: Outpatient; the procedure is performed at our clinic, and patients return home immediately afterward.
- Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. Mild swelling, tenderness, bruising, or tightness may occur for several days, while collagen production and skin improvements continue to develop over the following weeks and months.
Overview
What Are Smooth Threads?
Smooth threads are ultra-fine, dissolvable sutures placed just beneath the skin to improve skin tone and texture. Unlike lifting threads, which physically reposition the skin, smooth threads focus on boosting collagen production. Over time, increased collagen production helps your skin look smoother, firmer, and more youthful.
These threads are typically made from materials that have been safely used in medical procedures for years. As they dissolve, they leave behind a stronger collagen structure that continues to support your skin.
How does it work?
How Smooth Threads Work
Smooth threads are carefully inserted into targeted areas using a very fine needle. Once placed, they act as a temporary support under the skin, which triggers your body’s natural healing response.
This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, which are two key components responsible for youthful, healthy skin. As collagen builds, the skin gradually becomes smoother, tighter, and more refreshed.
The treatment itself is quick, often taking less than an hour, and requires little to no downtime.

Is It Right For You?
Who Is a Good Candidate for Smooth Threads?
Smooth threads are ideal for individuals who are starting to notice early signs of aging but are not ready for surgery or the commitment associated with downtime and recovery. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity

A consultation with Nurse Izzy will help determine if smooth threads are the best option for your goals.
Treatment Areas
What Areas of the Face Can Smooth Threads Treat?
Smooth threads are incredibly versatile and can be used in several areas of the face to target early signs of aging.
Smooth Threads for the Neck
The neck is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Smooth threads help tighten crepey skin, improve texture, and reduce the appearance of horizontal neck lines. This creates a smoother, more youthful neckline without invasive procedures.
Smooth Threads for Smile Lines
Smile lines, also known as nasolabial folds, can deepen over time. Smooth threads help soften these lines by improving skin support and elasticity, resulting in a more refreshed, natural look.
Smooth Threads Under the Eyes
The under-eye skin is delicate and prone to fine lines. Smooth threads help thicken and strengthen the under-eye area by stimulating collagen, reducing the appearance of crepey skin and subtle wrinkles.
Smooth Threads for Overall Facial Rejuvenation
For patients wanting a facial rejuvenation without surgery or downtime, smooth threads can be placed throughout the face to improve skin quality. This approach enhances tone, smoothness, and firmness, creating a balanced, rejuvenated appearance.

Smooth Threads FAQs
What should I expect during my smooth threads treatment?
Your treatment will begin with a consultation with Nurse Izzy at the Newman Plastic Surgery, located in the heart of Murrieta, California. This personalized consultation will help to determine the best areas to target.
On the day of the procedure, a numbing agent is applied to keep you comfortable. Next, using a fine needle or cannula, Nurse Izzy carefully places the threads beneath the skin. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure rather than pain.
The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
What should I expect after my smooth threads procedure?
After your appointment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or slight bruising at the insertion points. These effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days.
Most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours. You may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive facial movement, or certain sleeping positions for a short period to allow the threads to settle.
How long do smooth threads last?
While the threads themselves dissolve over several months, the results can last much longer. Collagen production continues even after the threads are gone, helping maintain smoother, firmer skin.
On average, patients enjoy results for 12 to 18 months, depending on their skin condition and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments can help extend and enhance results over time.
Are smooth threads safe? What are the side effects?
Smooth threads are considered very safe when performed by a trained and experienced provider such as Nurse Izzy. Because the threads are biocompatible and absorbable, the risk of complications is low.
Possible side effects may include:
- Mild swelling or bruising
- Temporary tenderness
- Slight irregularities that typically resolve quickly
Serious complications are rare, especially when the procedure is performed in a reputable medical setting.

Smooth Threads Reviews
“I had a tummy tuck by Dr. Newman he was my surgeon in Murrieta. He did an outstanding job. I was really scared he made me feel comfortable and I was able to trust him. I was referred by some acquaintances that had everything done by Dr. Newman and they looked beautiful 🤩. I had seen his job it was done very well. I am very impressed of my tummy tuck after a year and a half . Its hardly noticeable it’s a little swollen but it looks fantastic. I had a little spot of my incision opened up. I called Dr. Newman and he took care of it instantly , the same day I was able to come in to get it checked. That week I seen him three times and took care of my incision he gave me instructions on how to clean my wound so it wouldn’t get infected. It took about 4 to 5 days for the Incision to close. It never got infected. I’m very thankful that Dr. Newman is a very caring and responsible doctor including his staff because they were there to help me too. I’m very grateful I had my tummy tuck with Dr. Newman in Murrieta . It was a great experience I’m always recommending my friends and acquaintances to go there. Its so worth it🤩🙏🏼”
Glaxy Apodaca Enriquez
“I had several consultations for a “mommy makeover” (breast lift, augmentation, tummy tuck). From the moment I met Dr. Newman, I knew he was the doctor I would eventually choose for my procedures. My initial consultation lasted nearly 1 1/2 hours. He took the time to explain my options, give his professional opinion and really listened to my concerns. Because of some past health issues, Dr. Newman felt it was too risky to do the tummy tuck and the lift and augmentation together so I opted to just do the lift and augmentation first and wait on the tummy tuck. I appreciate the fact that he really puts the health of his patients first. My recovery was smooth and I am over-the-moon happy with my results (6-months post-op). His staff is top-notch and I would highly recommend Dr. Newman’s office. He is truly an artist and it shows in the work that he does.”
Marcae Rosenvall
“Dr David Newman is an extremely consummate professional. In 1991 he fixed a botched job done by an orthopedic surgeon when I shattered my hand. At the time I could not close my hand into a fist due to extreme scar tissue. Dr. Newman went in and fixed my hand and you cannot tell that my hand was injured. I also have had breast augmentation with no problems or issues since done. I decided to get a tummy tuck and some work done to my face 6 weeks ago. Everything is looking great and I am truly grateful for his expertise and experience. I highly recommend him to anyone needing any cosmetic surgery.”
Kimberly Kordell
“Dr. Newman has given me a tummy tuck. That was in 2007. I am now recovering from a brow lift, facelift and neck lift that he did as well. I have received wonderful care. He has been able to answer all of my questions when needed. He takes careful attention to detail and precaution before surgery.”
