Our eyes can tell a story just by the way they look. That’s why most people want to look bright, refreshed and youthful, as it can convey a sense of energy, happiness and excitement.
When we get older, though, the natural look of our eyes can change, thanks to the natural aging process. For some people, this could result in having tired eyes all the time — even if they aren’t tired.
“Tired eyes” can be characterized in a number of ways, including redness, dark circles, drooping eyelids, puffiness under the eyes, and wrinkles and fine lines. None of these things are particularly desirable for most people, which is why cosmetic treatments to address tired eyes are so popular today.
Below, we’ll discuss how PDO threads can help address tired eyes from multiple angles.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- PDO threads are an effective solution for reversing the “tired eyes” look caused by aging.
- Barbed threads physically lift sagging skin around the eyes, improving droopiness and puffiness.
- Smooth threads increase collagen to reduce hollowness, fine lines, and skin texture issues.
- A combination of barbed and smooth threads can deliver the best aesthetic outcomes.
- V Soft Lift’s FDA-cleared PDO threads offer safe, minimally invasive treatment with natural-looking results.
In terms of tired eyes, smooth PDO threads can improve the texture of your skin, making you look less hollow under the eyes and adding back what aging took away. Smooth threads can also soften wrinkles and fine lines, both of which contribute to the tired eyes look.

What Can Barbed PDO Threads Do for Tired Eyes?
Barbed PDO threads are used in lifting treatments. The little barbs that are located on the end of the thin threads grab onto parts of your skin and underlying tissue so that your practitioner can reposition it higher on your face.
This type of thread is used to address drooping or sagging skin, especially under and around the eyes. The barbs will grab onto the skin that is drooping, allowing the practitioner to lift it up higher on your face to address tired eyes.
Since barbed PDO threads physically lift parts of your skin up, you’ll be able to see at least some positive results the moment the procedure is over. The results will only get better, though, gradually over time as your body works to break down and absorb the threads using natural processes.
Essentially, barbed threads are used for any area around your eyes where a lifting effect is what will solve your issues.
| Eye Area | PDO Thread Function |
|---|---|
| Under Eye (Tear Trough) | Smooth threads stimulate collagen to reduce hollowness and fine lines |
| Outer Eye Area (Crow’s Feet) | Smooth threads help soften wrinkles and improve skin texture |
| Lower Eyelid & Cheek Junction | Barbed threads provide lift to sagging skin and reduce puffiness |
| Eyebrow Area | Barbed threads can lift the brow and upper eyelid for a more alert look |
What Can Smooth PDO Threads Do for Tired Eyes?
Depending on your particular situation, a practitioner might use a combination of barbed and smooth PDO threads to address a tired eyes look. Smooth threads won’t have any lifting effect, but they are used often to “smooth out” certain areas of your skin.
In terms of tired eyes, smooth PDO threads can improve the texture of your skin, making you look less hollow under the eyes and adding back what aging took away. Smooth threads can also soften wrinkles and fine lines, both of which contribute to the tired eyes look.
The way that smooth PDO threads work is they stimulate the production of extra collagen where they’re inserted. This is a naturally-occurring material in your body, but its production starts to wane as you get older.
This extra collagen will help to strengthen your skin and thicken it at the same time. It also improves texture, elasticity and plumpness, reversing a hollow look under your eyes and giving you a boost in appearance that’s very natural looking.
This added collagen will be produced by both smooth and barbed PDO threads, though the barbed threads aren’t necessary unless you need a lifting effect as well. That’s why many practitioners will use a combination of both barbed and smooth threads to address tired eyes, since some of the issues need to be addressed through lifting while others do not.
Of course, each person is unique, so it’s important to consult with an experienced practitioner before getting a PDO thread treatment for tired eyes. They will be able to assess your face and tired eyes, and provide you with the best and most comprehensive solution to reverse this common sign of aging.
