What are Collagen Volume Threads?
Standard threads, with their barb-like cogs, are able to mechanically lift skin that has sagged over time, but they cannot fill in sunken areas. This is where collagen volume threads are effective.
Collagen threads are used for adding volume in areas of the face which are sunken or depressed, such as the under-eye area, smile lines, and other fine lines and deep wrinkles. Restoring elasticity and replenishing lost collagen, collagen volume threads are a popular alternative to fillers and skin boosters as a non-surgical, painless, and foreign-body sensation-free solution.

About the Collagen Volume Threads Procedure
How do Collagen Volume Threads Work?
Unlike the threads that are used for lifting the skin, collagen volume threads are monofilaments with no barbs and a shorter length. Just like standard threads, they are inserted into the subcutaneous layer of the skin and then trimmed to be invisible from the skin surface, however collagen volume threads are the easiest to insert into the skin and cause little to no foreign body sensation.
These threads are not used to lift the skin, but to add volume into sunken areas or wrinkles. As the thread dissolves between the dermis and subcutaneous fat, it generates cytoplasm essential for skin elasticity. The threads encourage the skin’s natural collagen production over time, resulting in long-lasting improvement in collagen production for greater skin elasticity and volume.
Collagen Volume Threads vs. Lifting Threads
Unlike standard lifting threads, collagen volume threads, sometimes known as ‘filling threads’, are smooth with no cogs, and are shorter in length in order to effectively treat fine lines in precise and delicate areas such as around the mouth and eyes.
Are Collagen Volume Threads Safe?
Collagen volume threads, also known as smooth PDO threads, are incredibly safe. They are the types of thread that has been used for decades in human medical operations to suture internal organs. In addition to the collagen production enhancement that collagen volume threads provide, they have also been scientifically observed to improve the production of blood vessels, and their effects have been proven in numerous medical papers to last up to 48 weeks.
Collagen Volume Threads:
A Combination Procedure
Collagen Volume Threads are available as a combination procedure, able to be applied alongside lifting threads for a complimenting effect. In combination, sagging areas can be pulled up and secured by the barbed lifting threads, and the collagen volume threads can add volume into sunken areas, resulting in an overall anti-aging, rejuvenating effect.
Thread Lift Process at PangPang Clinic
1
Pre-Procedure Consultation
Before every thread lifting procedure, our patients go into a thorough in-person consultation so that all goals, needs and expectations are met efficiently and completely during the procedure.
2
Real-Time Design Adjustments
During the procedure, patients are able to watch in a mirror and make adjustments to their thread lift design in real time while the doctor performs the thread lift.

Standard lifting threads work somewhat efficiently to provide results lasting around 12 months |
|
Pain and Side Effects |
Molded to a design that improves smoothness of insertion thereby minimizing procedure pain |
Patients occasionally report feeling discomfort on insertion, and a foreign body sensation afterwards |
Combination Procedure:
Laser Thread Lifting
Combining thread lifting with laser lifting, we plan treatments to achieve optimal skin elasticity and condition. Customized laser procedures are tailored to your skin type, face shape, and other factors, allowing you to experience even more noticeable firmness and rejuvenation.
By lifting from the SMAS layer to the epidermis with thread lifting, and combining laser lifting on targeted areas, you can expect natural elasticity improvement along with even more satisfaction from your thread lifting procedure.
Which Laser Treatment is Right for Me?
We offer various types of laser treatments to complement your thread lifting procedure and enhance your results. These different treatments are able to target varied concerns, so choosing the correct treatment is important for guaranteeing satisfaction and efficacy.

Xerf
3-Step Cooling to Minimize Irritation; pain-free Dual Monopolar RF. With 3-step depth control using 6.78MHz + 2MHz frequencies and the ICD cooling system that cools the skin surface, pain is reduced while maximizing the effect of skin texture improvement.
10Thera
This ultra-powerful highly-focused ultrasound (HIFU) laser lifting treatment penetrates deep into the skin. Using 2-line HIFU energy targeting the SMAS layer at a depth of 4.5mm from the skin surface, it fundamentally enhances the elasticity of the retaining ligaments.
10Therma
’10Therma’, an ultra-powerful high-frequency energy that boosts collagennetrates deep into the skin. It not only improves localized facial wrinkles but also delivers focused energy at up to 400W to weak skin support layers, sculpting a sharp and balanced V-line contour.
Liftera
A versatile lifting treatment that addresses skin concerns at various depths, from broad areas to targeted spots. With applicators ranging from 1.5mm to 4.5mm, it delivers precise thermal energy exactly where needed to boost elasticity. Highly effective for localized areas such as the eyes, forehead, brows, and nasolabial folds.
Potenza
Equipped with a variety of microneedle tips to address all skin concerns – pores, fine lines, elasticity, redness, and more. Offers two modes: invasive microneedles that penetrate the skin directly, and non-invasive surface-contact electrode tips. With versatile tip options, treatments can be customized to suit individual skin needs.
LDM Water Drop Lifting
Sensitive skin remodeling: We recommended this treatment for skin condition recovery and sensitive skin. Using high-density ultrasound energy, it activates skin structure without damage, promoting collagen production and significantly improving skin elasticity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Collagen Volume Threads at PangPang Clinic?
Collagen Volume Threads at PangPang Clinic involve the insertion of monofilament threads without barbs into the skin to stimulate collagen production. This procedure aims to erase fine lines, restore skin elasticity, and provide a firming effect by replenishing collagen deep within the skin layers.
How do Collagen Volume Threads differ from traditional lifting threads?
Unlike traditional lifting threads that have barbs designed to physically pull and lift the skin, Collagen Volume Threads are smooth, shorter, and focus on enhancing skin elasticity by promoting collagen production without causing a foreign body sensation.
What are the benefits of Collagen Volume Threads compared to fillers or skin boosters?
Collagen Volume Threads offer a more natural approach by stimulating the body’s own collagen production, leading to improved skin texture and firmness. This method addresses the root cause of skin aging, whereas fillers and skin boosters may provide temporary volume or hydration without promoting long-term collagen synthesis.
Who is an ideal candidate for Collagen Volume Threads?
Ideal candidates are individuals who have tried traditional skin boosters without satisfactory results, are seeking visible improvement in skin texture, wish to delay skin aging, or have persistent skin tightness that doesn’t improve with other treatments.
What can I expect during and after the Collagen Volume Threads procedure?
During the procedure, a large number of collagen threads are inserted into the skin, which is minimally invasive and causes little to no foreign body sensation. As the threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, leading to improved skin elasticity and firmness over time.
