PDO threads are taking the cosmetic medicine industry by storm. Renowned for their amazing anti-aging results, these dissolvable sutures are being used in minimally-invasive procedures to address all types of common concerns in the face.
From evening out wrinkles and fine lines, to lifting up sagging skin and adding definition and contour, it seems like there isn’t anything that PDO threads can’t do to reverse the natural signs of aging.
One of the biggest areas of concern for people as they age is around the eyes. With that area having delicate skin1, though, you might be wondering whether it’s safe to use PDO threads around the eyes.
Below, we’ll discuss this topic in more depth, detailing just how PDO threads can be used to treat areas around the eyes.
PDO threads are generally considered very safe to use around the eyes. This is great news for many people, as this area of the face is one of the first to show the signs of aging.

PDO threads are generally considered very safe to use around the eyes. This is great news for many people, as this area of the face is one of the first to show the signs of aging.
This can appear in the forms of wrinkles, fine lines and even sagging skin. All of this can make you look older than you actually are and tired all the time.
Not surprisingly, this makes around the eyes one of the most popular areas that people want to address on their face.2
Luckily, PDO threads can be used to achieve amazing results and help correct some of the issues that people have as they get older.
There are two main types of PDO threads — barbed threads and smooth threads.
Barbed threads are used mainly in lifting procedures, since they grab onto parts of the skin and help practitioners reposition it higher. They are great fits for sagging skin in cheeks, around the mouth and other parts of the face.
Smooth threads don’t have barbs on them, and are used mainly to improve the firmness and texture of the skin. They are used to address things such as wrinkles and fine lines.
Because of how they’re used, smooth threads are often the perfect fit for around the eyes. This part of your face — which has delicate skin — benefits greatly from the benefits of smooth PDO threads.
| Factor | Smooth Threads | Barbed Threads |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Purpose | Improve skin texture & reduce fine lines | Lift sagging skin |
| Recommended for Eye Area | Yes | Rarely |
| Skin Type Compatibility | Most skin types | Most skin types |
| Ideal Age Range | 30–50+ | 35–60+ |
| Downtime | Minimal | Moderate |
Smooth PDO threads don’t give the lifting effect that barbed threads have, but for around the eyes, this is OK. That’s because the common issues that happen around the eyes — such as wrinkles, fine lines and the appearance of being tired — don’t really require parts of the skin to be lifted.
Instead, the skin here can benefit from improved texture and evening out of these lines.
All PDO threads, no matter the type, stimulate the production of collagen3 in the treatment area. This happens as the body works to break down the PDO threads naturally.
The extra collagen not only breaks down the threads, but also improves the texture of the skin and its elasticity. This is important, because as we age, our bodies stop producing collagen4.
So, when the smooth PDO threads are inserted around your eyes, the extra collagen that gets produced tightens and thickens your skin in time, giving it a much more youthful appearance.
As the PDO threads break down, the results will start to reveal themselves, and you’ll be happy with the fact that the fine lines and wrinkles are gone.
The smooth threads will produce these results, which is why they’re often used over barbed threads, which are typically used in areas of the face that require a more significant lifting effect, including the jawline and cheeks.
| Benefit | Description | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Collagen Stimulation | PDO threads trigger natural collagen production. | Improves skin elasticity and firmness over time. |
| Wrinkle Reduction | Smooth threads soften fine lines and crow’s feet. | Gives the eye area a younger, refreshed look. |
| Non-Surgical Approach | Minimally invasive with no incisions. | Low downtime, less risk compared to surgery. |
| Skin Texture Improvement | Enhances smoothness and tone around eyes. | Reduces tired appearance and dullness. |
Not only is it safe to use PDO threads around the eyes, it’s also a very popular way to address some of the most common signs of aging. Smooth PDO threads help to stimulate the production of collagen, which provides you a more natural, youthful appearance. PDO Threads can also be used for the popular Fox Eye Lift PDO Thread treatment.
