PDO Mono Threads

PDO Mono Threads

What Are PDO Mono Threads?

PDO mono threads are smooth, dissolvable threads made from polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible material that has been safely used in medical sutures for over 30 years. These threads are placed just beneath the surface of the skin using fine needles. Unlike lifting threads, mono threads do not physically lift the skin. Instead, they are designed to stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, and strengthen the skin’s structure from within.

The threads gradually dissolve over time, but the collagen they stimulate continues to improve the skin long after the threads are gone.

How Do PDO Mono Threads Work?

PDO mono threads work by creating a controlled healing response in the skin. When the threads are inserted:

 

  1. The body recognizes the thread as a foreign material.
  2. This triggers a natural healing response.
  3. New collagen and elastin fibres form around each thread.

  4. As the threads dissolve, the newly formed collagen remains.

This process results in:

 

  • Firmer, stronger skin
  • Improved elasticity
  • Smoother texture
  • Reduced fine lines
  • Healthier overall skin quality

 

The treatment improves the skin’s foundation, rather than simply filling or lifting it.

 

 

What Are PDO Mono Threads Used For?

 

PDO mono threads are used for skin rejuvenation and collagen stimulation, not lifting. They are ideal for clients concerned with skin quality rather than sagging alone.

Common treatment areas include:

 

  • Face (cheeks, jawline, under eyes, smile lines)
  • Neck
  • Décolletage
  • Forehead

  • Body areas such as arms, abdomen, thighs, and knees

They are used to help:

 

  • Improve skin firmness and elasticity
  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improve crepey or thinning skin
  • Refine skin texture
  • Improve acne scarring
  • Strengthen aging or sun-damaged skin

  • Prevent early signs of aging

 

 

What Happens During the Treatment?

 

 

  1. Consultation:

    Your practitioner will assess your skin and discuss your goals to create a customised treatment plan.

  2. Preparation:

    The area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.

  3. Thread Placement:

    The PDO mono threads are inserted using ultra-fine needles into specific layers of the skin. The needles are then removed, leaving the threads behind.

  4. Duration:

    Treatment usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the area and number of threads used.

Most clients describe only mild discomfort during the procedure.

 

 

Downtime & Recovery

 

 

  • Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and usually settles within a few days
  • Some tenderness or tightness may be felt temporarily
  • Most clients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours

  • Aftercare guidelines are provided to ensure the best results.

 

 

When Will I See Results?

 

 

  • Some clients notice an early improvement in skin texture within 2–3 weeks
  • Collagen production increases gradually over 8–12 weeks
  • The most noticeable results develop over 2–3 months

  • Results continue to improve even after the threads dissolve

 

 

How Long Do Results Last?

 

 

  • The PDO threads dissolve naturally within 4–6 months
  • The collagen they stimulate can last 12–18 months, depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle

  • Maintenance treatments may be recommended for optimal long-term results
