What are collagen silk threads?

Protein fibers derived from silkworm silk, formulated to echo the structure of your skin's collagen. They support firmness and hydration while dissolving gradually into the skin.

How is this different from Chitossil threads?

Chitossil is a chitosan-based needle-free lift. Collagen silk threads use silk proteins and sericin for moisture, texture, and gentle firming.

Silk collagen threads — science your skin recognizes

Collagen Threads Treatment is built on fibrous proteins made by converting silk from the silkworm cocoon. Those silk proteins sit close to the structure of collagen fibers in human skin, so the treatment works with your complexion instead of fighting it — supporting a smoother, more refreshed surface and a healthier moisture balance.

A second hero ingredient is sericin, the natural water-soluble protein in raw silk. Rich in amino acids, sericin is valued in skin care for how it supports elasticity and helps the skin hold onto water — the same natural moisture factor (NMF) that keeps a youthful face looking plump rather than flat. Professional silk amino acids used in esthemax-style formulas are chosen for small particle size so they can penetrate more effectively; even at modest concentrations, many clients notice softer texture and a more luminous tone.

Together, the threads and sericin form a protective, hydrating layer while the material gradually dissolves into the skin — encouraging renewal and collagen support over time without needles or aggressive downtime. Part of our signature treatments menu. Full pricing: price list.

Who it’s for — and who should pick something else

Book this facial if you want a silk-based firming treatment for early fine lines, dull or dehydrated skin, or a gentle refresh before an event. It suits guests who like natural-origin actives and prefer a comfortable session over clinical downtime — many notice brighter tone and smoother texture after the visit, with continued improvement as the skin stays better hydrated.

Choose a different treatment if your main goal is a chitosan-based, needle-free lift with bioabsorbable threads — that is our Chitossil thread lift, a separate service. Deep texture remodeling or scarring usually points to microchanneling or a customized facial. Tell us about silk or protein sensitivities at booking; this treatment is not vegan because it is derived from silkworm silk.

How your session goes

Skin check and goals. We talk through what you want to improve — fine lines, texture, dryness — and confirm collagen silk threads are the right fit today.
Thread application. Collagen threads are applied to targeted areas of the face where you want more support and smoothness. The process is comfortable; you can relax while product is worked into the skin.
Activation and absorption. Sericin-rich formulas help the threads dissolve and absorb, reinforcing the moisture barrier and delivering amino acids where the skin needs them.
Finishing care. We complete the protocol with hydration suited to your skin type and review simple aftercare so results last.

What to expect on your visit

Assessment

A short conversation about your skin history, recent procedures, and whether you have sensitivities to silk or protein-based products. If another service would serve you better, we say so before we start.

Treatment

Quiet, facial-room pacing. Most guests feel light product work and cooling hydration rather than pain. Threads are placed on the zones that need firmness and glow; sericin supports absorption and comfort throughout.

Aftercare

Minimal downtime — many clients return to normal activities right away. Use SPF daily, keep skin hydrated, and pause harsh actives for 24–48 hours if we recommend it. Results often show as improved tone and texture first; deeper firmness builds gradually as moisture and collagen support improve.

FAQ

What are collagen silk threads?: They are protein fibers derived from silkworm silk, formulated to echo the structure of your skin’s own collagen. Applied professionally, they help support firmness and hydration while dissolving gradually into the skin.
What is sericin and why is it in this treatment?: Sericin is a natural silk protein packed with amino acids. It helps reinforce the skin’s moisture barrier and is widely used for elasticity and anti-aging benefits in professional skin care.
How is this different from Chitossil bioabsorbable threads?: Chitossil uses purified chitosan from crustacean shells in a needle-free lift protocol. Collagen silk threads focus on silk proteins and sericin for moisture, texture, and gentle firming — a different material and a different menu item.
How much does Collagen Threads Treatment cost?: $300 per session at Skin and Beyond Spa. Book online or see our price list.
Is there downtime?: Most clients have little to no social downtime. You may see immediate glow and softness; plan SPF and gentle care for the next day or two.
Is the treatment vegan?: No — silk is an animal-derived fiber. If you avoid animal ingredients, ask us about alternative facials that match your goals.
