What Are PDO Mono Threads - About The Treatment

What Are PDO Mono Threads?

PDO (polydioxanone) mono threads are very fine, dissolvable sutures placed just beneath the surface of the skin by a qualified practitioner. They are designed to create a temporary supportive framework under the skin, which may help improve the appearance of skin texture and firmness over time. The threads gradually dissolve over several months.

PDO mono threads have been used in cosmetic procedures internationally for many years. At Shape Clinic, they may be considered as a stand-alone procedure or discussed alongside other cosmetic options during consultation.

What Areas Can PDO Mono Threads Be Used On?

PDO mono threads may be applied to improve the visible appearance of skin in areas such as:

upper and lower cheeks
neck and jawline
jowl region
marionette lines
forehead and brow area
nasolabial folds

Important Information

Experiences and results vary between individuals, and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.
Possible side effects include temporary bruising, swelling, or sensitivity.
A consultation with a qualified health practitioner is essential to determine whether PDO mono threads are appropriate for you.

PDO Mono Threads – What to Expect & Aftercare

What to Expect: Preparation

To support safe treatment and reduce the risk of side effects, your practitioner may recommend avoiding certain activities or products before your procedure. General guidance can include:

In the week before treatment

Avoid other cosmetic skin procedures such as chemical peels, microneedling, or injectables.
Limit excessive sun exposure.

The day before treatment

Avoid alcohol consumption.

On the day of treatment

Ensure your skin is clean and free of makeup.
Stay well hydrated.
Inform your practitioner of all medications, supplements, and medical conditions, so they can provide tailored advice.

Avoid touching or manipulating your face for the first 24–48 hours.
Temporary swelling or bruising may occur and usually resolves within several days.
Sleeping with your head elevated and applying cool compresses may help with comfort.
Avoid alcohol and activities involving excess heat (such as saunas, steam rooms, or vigorous exercise) for several days.
Your practitioner will provide personalised instructions, including what to do if you experience discomfort or have any concerns.
