How Do PDO Mono Threads Work?
PDO Mono Threads are made of polydioxanone. This biodegradable material has been safely used in surgery for over 50 years. We meticulously insert these threads into your skin using fine needles. These threads triggers a process known as neocollagenesis: where your body creates new collagen.
Collagen is a protein that provides structure, elasticity, and firmness to your skin. With age, collagen production decreases, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and an aged appearance. PDO mono threads counteract this by providing a scaffold of collagen to your skin.
Once inserted, these threads create an immediate support structure that lifts and tightens the skin. Over the next 6 months, the threads gradually dissolve through hydrolysis. This process is where water molecules break down the threads which are then naturally removed from the body.
While in your skin, the threads continuously stimulate collagen production. This enhances skin texture, elasticity, and firmness. The new collagen fibers create a mesh-like network that gives long-lasting support to the skin. This results in visible skin tightening and rejuvenation lasting between 12 to 24 months.
PDO mono threads help to:
- Improve skin texture: By increasing collagen production, skin quality and thickness improves, making it resilient and smoother.
- Fill creases and wrinkles: Collagen stimulation can soften creases like nasolabial folds and accordion lines, reducing their appearance.
- Enhance lip contours: Without the need for lip fillers, mono threads can define and outline your lips for a natural enhancement.
- Address body areas: Beyond facial applications, PDO mono threads can rejuvenate other parts of the body to tighten loose skin.
The minimally invasive nature of PDO mono threads, combined with their ability to stimulate natural collagen production, makes them an effective solution for skin rejuvenation.
How many PDO Mono Threads do I need?
We use PDO mono threads to treat a multitude of face and body concerns. The size of the treatment area determines how many mono threads you’ll need.
More severe concerns will also need more threads.
A general guide to the number of threads required is:
- Smokers lines: 20 threads
- Under eye region: 20-30 threads
- Nasolabial folds: 20-30 threads
- Cheeks/accordion/smile lines: 40-60 threads
- Jawline/chin: 30 – 60 threads
- Neck: 50-100 threads
- Temples: 10-15 threads per side
- Forehead: 30-50 threads
We want to answer any questions you may have.

PDO mono threads are made of polydioxanone. This is a very fine biocompatible, absorbable material. Many types of stitches used in surgery use polydiaxonone because of its excellent safety profile.
When inserted into your skin, polydioxaone stimulates the production of collagen, which gives visible and long lasting skin tightening.
We can achieve the following results using PDO mono threads:
- Skin tightening and thickening
- Softening creases including nasolabial folds and accordion lines
- Improving skin firmness and quality
- Defining your lips
- Boosting skin collagen
We can use PDO Mono threads to rejuvenate skin anywhere on your face, neck and body, including:
- Forehead
- Cheeks
- Brows
- Under eyes
- Nasolabial folds
- Jawline
- Neck
- Knees
- Arms
- Abdomen
PDO mono threading takes 15-20 minutes, depending on the number of threads required.
Your PDO mono thread treatment starts with a comprehensive consultation. After this, we apply numbing cream to the treatment area to minimise discomfort.
Once numb, we clean your skin, and then carefully place the mono threads beneath the skin.
After the threads are inserted, we apply an antiseptic balm, and you’ll then need to use a cold compress to reduce swelling and redness.
When PDO mono threads are done with appropriate anaesthetic, discomfort is very little.
The treated area may have slight discomfort for a few days, which can be treated with over-the-counter pain relief and an ice pack.
PDO mono threads are broken down over 6 months.
However, the collagen they produce can last over 5-7 years.
To prepare for your PDO mono threads, follow these guidelines:
7 days prior to treatment:
- Avoid skin treatments including chemical peels, micro-needling and injectables.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure.
- Avoid over-the-counter medications or multivitamins that may cause blood thinning.
24 hours prior to treatment:
- Avoid alcohol consumption and intense exercise.
On the day of treatment:
- Remove all makeup before your appointment.
The area treated with PDO mono threads will feel tender to touch for a few days. After your treatment, avoid touching your face and excessive facial expressions for 24-48 hours. It’s also improve to keep your skin clean, and use a cold pack to reduce swelling.
We also recommend avoiding alcohol and heat-related activities (like saunas and steam rooms) for a few days.
PDO mono threads are classified as a safe treatment.
The most common risks of PDO mono threads include:
-
Swelling which can last 1-2 days and is usually mild.
-
Bruising may occur, and typically resolves in 3-5 days.
Rare risks
-
Infection: to reduce this risk we cleanse your skin and apply antiseptic cream after your treatment.
