Before you decide
Is it right for you?
We tell you frankly when this treatment is a good option and when we'd rather assess you first.
Ideal if…
- Your skin feels thinner or less firm
- You have mild sagging and want better skin quality
- You're bothered by fine lines on your cheeks or neck
- You prefer a gradual change, without adding volume
We assess you first if…
- Your goal is to lift sagging tissue: that's done with a thread lift
- You're pregnant or breastfeeding
- There is an active infection in the area or you have a bleeding disorder
- You have uncontrolled autoimmune diseases
How we do it at Quantum
A medical protocol, not a catalog
Every plan starts with a consultation: we listen to what you want to achieve, review your medical history and decide whether this treatment is right for you.
- 01
Medical consultation
Before any treatment is applied, we review your case and explain what is possible and what isn't.
- 02
D10 Facial Scanner
Everything starts with a consultation, not a catalog: we analyze your skin and scalp before recommending any treatment.
- 03
Follow-up visit
We review the result with you and adjust the plan if needed.
What it is and how it works
Collagen threads
These are smooth, very fine, absorbable threads that we place in the skin with thin needles, forming a kind of net. Their role isn't to tighten or lift tissue; instead, as the body absorbs them, the skin produces new collagen along their path. Over the weeks, the skin looks firmer, denser and healthier.
They're for people who notice thinner or less firm skin, have mild sagging or fine lines on the cheeks or neck, and want a gradual change without adding volume. If you want to lift tissue that has sagged, a thread lift is the option. We don't place them during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with infection, bleeding disorders or uncontrolled autoimmune diseases.
The session lasts 30 to 45 minutes, under topical or local anesthesia, and one session is usually enough. It requires a few days of aftercare and a follow-up visit. The price depends on the number of threads and the area, so we quote it at your consultation.

Your session
Step by step
Here's how your treatment goes, from the consultation to the follow-up visit.
- 01
Facial analyzer and medical consultation
We check how firm your skin is and its quality, to confirm whether smooth threads are right for you and decide which areas to treat.
Medical consultation before treatment
- 02
Smooth thread insertion
Under topical or local anesthesia, we place the threads in a mesh pattern using fine needles in the agreed area.
30 to 45 min
- 03
Progress and follow-up visits
Over the following weeks, collagen forms and the skin gradually becomes firmer. At your follow-up visit, we review your progress with you.

The right thread for your goal
We determine whether your case calls for smooth threads, which stimulate collagen, or lifting threads, which provide support.
- 02
Sterile, absorbable material
Each thread comes preloaded in its own sterile, single-use needle, and over time the body absorbs it.
- 03
Planned distribution
We mark the area and spread the threads evenly for a balanced result.
- 04
Medical follow-up visit
We schedule a follow-up visit afterward, with Dr. Daniela Díez as our medical director.

Frequently asked questions
We answer your questions
Have another question? Message us on WhatsApp and our medical team will answer.
How much do collagen threads cost?
We quote it at your consultation based on the area and the number of threads. As a reference, we offer 50-thread plans.
Do they lift the face?
No. Smooth threads activate collagen production, so the skin gains firmness and quality; if tissue needs to be repositioned, a thread lift is used.
Does it hurt?
We use topical or local anesthesia. You'll feel pricks and pressure, which most patients tolerate well.
How soon do results show?
It's gradual: you'll see it over the following weeks as your skin produces new collagen.
What side effects can it cause?
Expect some swelling and tenderness, along with a few small bruises that go away within a few days.
Can I combine them?
Yes. They can be paired with a thread lift, Sculptra or other skin-quality treatments; we plan it with you at your consultation.
Who is not a candidate for collagen threads?
We don't place them during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have a bleeding disorder, an active infection in the area or uncontrolled autoimmune diseases.
