How Do PDO Mono Threads Work?
PDO Mono Threads are made of polydioxanone. This biodegradable material has been used in surgery for over 50 years. We meticulously insert these threads into your skin using fine needles. These threads trigger a process known as neocollagenesis: where your body creates new collagen.
Collagen is a protein that provides structure, elasticity, and firmness to your skin. Over time, collagen production decreases, contributing to sagging skin and wrinkles. PDO mono threads counteract this by providing a scaffold of collagen to your skin.
Once inserted, these threads create a support structure. 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 targets skin texture, elasticity, and firmness. The new collagen fibers create a mesh-like network that gives support to the skin.
PDO mono threads may help to:
- Optimise skin texture: By increasing collagen production, skin quality and thickness increases, making it resilient and smoother.
- Fill creases and wrinkles: Collagen stimulation may soften creases like nasolabial folds and accordion lines, potentiallu reducing their appearance.
- Define lip contours: Without the need for lip volume, mono threads may define and outline your lips.
- Address body areas: Beyond facial applications, PDO mono threads can rejuvenate other parts of the body to tighten skin.
How many PDO Mono Threads do I need?
We use PDO mono threads to treat various face and body concerns. The size of the treatment area and degree of concern determines how many mono threads are required.
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
Actual numbers may vary, depending on your consultation.
We want to answer any questions you may have.
If you can’t find the answers to your questions, get in touch with us and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
PDO mono threads are made of polydioxanone. This is a very fine biocompatible, absorbable material.
When inserted into your skin, polydioxaone stimulates the production of collagen, which may help with skin firming.
PDO mono threads are used for:
- Skin tightening and thickening
- Softening creases including nasolabial folds and accordion lines
- Optimising skin firmness and quality
- Defining your lips
- Boosting skin collagen
Subject to your consultation, we can use PDO Mono threads to firm the skin in most ares of your face, neck and body, including:
- Forehead
- Cheeks
- Brows
- Under eyes
- Nasolabial folds
- Jawline
- Neck
- Knees
- Arms
- Abdomen
PDO mono threading generally takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of threads required.
Your PDO mono thread treatment starts with a comprehensive consultation. After this, we apply numbing to the treatment area to minimise discomfort.
Once numb, we clean your skin, and then carefully place the mono threads beneath it.
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.
Experienced of pain will vary between people, but when PDO mono threads are done with appropriate anaesthetic, discomfort is minimised.
The treated area may have slight discomfort for a few days, which can be treated with over-the-counter pain relief.
The result from PDO mono threads typically fades over months to 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.
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. Bruising is also to be expected. After your treatment, avoid touching your face and excessive facial expressions for 24-48 hours. It’s also important to keep your skin clean, and use a wrapped cold pack intermittently 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 usually considered a low-risk 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.
- Nodules: where too much collagen has been produced in one area
