What Are PDO Mono Threads - About The Treatment

What Are PDO Mono Threads?

PDO (polydioxanone) mono threads are ultra-fine, dissolvable sutures inserted just beneath the skin’s surface. These threads create a supportive network that stimulates collagen production and encourages skin tightening. As the PDO threads gradually dissolve over several months, they promote the formation of new collagen by fibroblasts, which helps to improve skin texture and firmness in a natural way.

PDO mono threads have a long history of safe use, particularly in Asia where they have been utilised for over 20 years. These threads are often combined with energy-based treatments such as ultrasound or radiofrequency to enhance collagen stimulation and optimise results.

What Areas Can PDO Mono Threads Treat?

PDO mono threads are versatile and can be used to address various skin concerns on the face, including:

Upper and lower cheeks
Neck and jawline
Jowls
Marionette lines
Forehead and brows
Nasolabial folds

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are Mono Threads Safe?

Mono threads are generally considered safe for most individuals. They are made from polydioxanone (PDO), a biodegradable material widely used in medical applications. PDO threads are naturally absorbed by the body over approximately 6 to 12 months.

Who is Suitable for This Treatment?

Mono thread treatment may be suitable for individuals seeking a non-surgical option to improve skin appearance. It is typically used to address mild to moderate wrinkles, fine lines, and skin laxity. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is recommended to determine if this treatment aligns with your skin concerns and goals.

Is the Procedure Painful?

While PDO mono thread insertion involves a fine needle, most patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure. Practitioners usually apply a topical numbing agent beforehand to help minimise any pain or discomfort.
