What is a Mono PDO Thread Lift?

A Mono PDO Thread Lift uses smooth, dissolvable threads made from polydioxanone (PDO) to subtly improve skin firmness and elasticity. These threads are inserted beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula, where they stimulate collagen production and support improved skin texture over time.

Unlike thread lifts designed to reposition sagging skin, Mono Threads focus purely on biostimulation — offering natural, gradual skin tightening for patients seeking moderate changes without surgery.

Mono threads are inserted just beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula to trigger fibroblasts and promote the formation of new collagen.

How Mono PDO Threads Work

Mono threads are inserted just beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Once in place, they create a subtle mesh-like structure that triggers fibroblasts and promotes neocollagenesis — the formation of new collagen. This process helps to:

• Improve skin tone and elasticity
• Support finer, firmer skin texture
• Provide subtle volumisation
• Reduce the appearance of crepey or thinned skin

The threads dissolve naturally over 3–6 months, but the collagen stimulated by their presence can continue to improve the skin for up to 12 months, depending on individual factors.

Key Benefits

• Ideal for fine lines, wrinkles, and mild skin laxity
• Encourages collagen production for firmer, smoother skin
• Gradual improvements seen over 4–12 weeks
• Results can last 6–12 months depending on lifestyle and skin condition
• Minimally invasive with little to no downtime

Important Considerations

• Results are subtle, not dramatic
• Threads do not physically lift the skin
• Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur for 1–7 days
• Risks will be discussed thoroughly during your consultation

What to Expect: Step-by-Step

Before Treatment:

• Avoid blood-thinning medications if advised
• Numbing cream may be applied for comfort

During Treatment:

• Threads are placed just beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula
• Procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes
• Mild stinging or pressure may be experienced

After Treatment:

• You may notice minor swelling, redness, or tenderness
• Most patients resume normal activity within 1–2 days
• Avoid strenuous exercise or facial manipulation for 48 hours

Common Mono PDO Treatment Areas

Mono PDO Threads can be used across the face and body:

• Cheeks and lower face
• Jawline and under chin
• Neck and décolletage
• Forehead and temples
• Marionette lines and nasolabial folds
• Arms, abdomen, or knees (depending on suitability)

Is This Treatment Right for You?

Mono threads may be suitable if you:

• Have early signs of skin laxity or fine lines
• Want to stimulate collagen production naturally
• Prefer a subtle, non-surgical treatment
• Are in good general health
• Are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Mono threads are not a substitute for surgical lifts or fillers for significant volume loss.

How Long Do Mono PDO Results Last?

While each person’s response to treatment is different, many patients begin to notice improvements in skin texture and firmness within 4–6 weeks. As collagen continues to build, optimal results are usually seen around 8–12 weeks post-treatment.
The threads dissolve naturally over 3–6 months, but the effects of collagen stimulation may last 6–12 months depending on skin quality, age, and lifestyle.
