MEDICAL AESTHETICS
PDO MONO THREADS
OUR TREATMENT
Threads are specialized, dissolvable fibers made from biocompatible materials like polydioxanone (PDO), polylactic acid (PLA), or polycaprolactone (PCA). These materials are commonly used in medical sutures and are well tolerated by the body. Threads are inserted under the skin to provide an immediate tightening effect.
How Threads Work
When PDO Mono threads are inserted, they are strategically placed within the deeper layers of the skin, where they act as a supportive scaffold.
This process offers:
Long-term collagen stimulation
As the threads settle into place, they gradually stimulate the body’s natural healing process, prompting increased production of collagen and elastin fibers around the threads. This collagen boost gradually strengthens and thickens the skin, enhancing its elasticity and resilience over time. As a result, even after the threads dissolve (typically within 6–12 months), the skin retains a more youthful structure and tone due to this regenerative process.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Depending on your anatomy and individual concerns, PDO Mono Threads may be considered for areas including:
Cheeks
Lower face

-
The procedure usually takes between 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
-
Mono threads may contribute to improved firmness and support, but they are not designed to provide the same mechanical lifting effect as lifting or barbed threads.
-
Placement of the thread produces a controlled tissue response around the PDO material. As the area heals, fibroblast activity and collagen formation occur around the treatment area.
-
They are made from polydioxanone, a biodegradable synthetic polymer that has also been widely used in absorbable surgical sutures.
-
Results develop gradually, as collagen production is stimulated over several weeks. The outcome is a refreshed, natural appearance with improved skin firmness and texture, offering a subtle lift and rejuvenation.
-
Most patients can resume daily activities within 24-48 hours. Temporary side effects like swelling, bruising, or minor tenderness are common but subside quickly.
-
You may temporarily feel firmness or the presence of the threads beneath the skin while the area heals.
-
Not everyone is suitable.
Factors such as pregnancy or breastfeeding, active infection or inflammation, certain medical conditions, medications, impaired healing and previous procedures may affect treatment suitability.
Your medical history will be reviewed during consultation.
