Mono PDO threads are smooth, non-barbed threads made from polydioxanone – a biocompatible, absorbable material commonly used in surgical sutures. These threads act as a gentle collagen bio-stimulator, encouraging the skin to naturally produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid for improved texture, elasticity, and firmness.
Versatile and Complementary
Mono threads can be used alone or in combination with other aesthetic modalities and are ideal for patients seeking natural-looking skin rejuvenation rather than structural lifting. The subtle collagen-stimulating effect enhances overall skin quality and effectively supports other treatments.
Common treatment areas include:
-
Face (cheeks, forehead, jawline)
-
Neck and décolletage
-
Under-eye area
-
Nasolabial folds
-
Hands
You will insert the mono threads in the hypodermis, following a mesh-like or cross hatching pattern.
How do Mono threads work?
Mono threads are thin, biodegradable filaments made of polydioxanone (PDO) that are inserted in the skin tissue to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The threads create a support network for the skin, and the collagen stimulation can last up to 12 months.
Benefits and what to expect Mono Treatment?
You can expect to see immediate improvement in skin quality, but maximum results are achieved 2–3 months after treatment.
The threads dissolve gradually over 3–4 months.
Expected side effects:
Normal reactions include bruising, swelling, tenderness, and small lumps, which will usually resolve in about two weeks.
Treatment Areas:
Lower third tightening, Neck, Submental & Jawline, Accordion lines, Naso Labial Folds, Oral Commissures, Eyebrow tightening, Crows feet, Smokers’ lines, Vermillion borders and more.
