What is Mono PDO thread?

Mono PDO thread is a non-surgical option that uses dissolvable threads made from polydioxanone (PDO). These threads are placed beneath the skin and are intended to stimulate collagen activity over time.

Unlike lifting threads designed to reposition tissue, Mono threads do not pull or lift the skin. Instead, they may trigger a healing response that can support gradual changes in skin texture or firmness.

How do Mono PDO threads work?

Threads are inserted beneath the surface of the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The threads act as a temporary structure and may encourage fibroblast activity, which is linked to collagen production.

This option may be considered for:

  • Mild changes in skin laxity

  • Fine lines

  • Supporting skin firmness and elasticity

The threads dissolve within several months. Any collagen-related activity may continue for a period of time, depending on individual factors.

What are the possible outcomes of Mono threads?

  • Some people notice gradual changes over several weeks.

  • Possible outcomes may include changed skin texture.

  • Downtime is often minimal, though this varies.

  • Responses differ between individuals, and no outcome can be guaranteed.

What should you consider?

Mono threads are not intended to lift facial tissue or replace surgical procedures.

Possible side effects include:

  • Swelling

  • Bruising

  • Redness or tenderness

These effects usually settle within a short period. Your practitioner will discuss all potential risks, aftercare, and alternatives at your consultation.

What happens during the session?

Before:

  • Your practitioner may advise avoiding certain medications.

  • A topical anaesthetic may be applied.

During:

  • Threads are inserted using a fine needle or cannula.

  • The session generally takes 30 to 45 minutes.

  • A sensation of pressure or stinging may be felt.

After:

  • Temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur.

  • Many people resume normal activity within a few days.

  • Strenuous activity or facial pressure may need to be avoided for a short period.

Where can Mono PDO threads be used?

Mono threads may be considered for areas such as:

  • Cheeks and lower face

  • Jawline and chin

  • Neck and décolletage

  • Forehead and temples

  • Around the mouth and nose

  • Some body areas such as arms, stomach, or knees, subject to consultation

Your practitioner will confirm suitability and treatment areas at your appointment.

Who may it be suitable for?

Mono threads may be an option for people who:

  • Have mild skin concerns such as fine lines or early laxity

  • Are in good general health

  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding

A consultation is required to assess your medical history, goals, and whether Mono PDO threads are appropriate for you.

How long do the effects last?

Responses vary. Some people may notice changes within a few weeks, with further developments seen over time. The threads dissolve within a few months, but any collagen-related activity may continue for longer.

The duration of effects depends on factors such as age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Your practitioner will provide information about what to expect during your consultation.
