PDO Mono Threads
Mono threads are a type of PDO filament which can be inserted into the skin in a mesh-like pattern, to help increase skin tightness. The procedure is known for being minimally invasive.
This relatively new treatment offers a dual lift-and-collagen-regenerating effect. Using innovative bi-directional cone technology which allows firm repositioning of sagging tissues and stimulating the body’s own ability to produce lost collagen,
resulting in a gradual and natural looking regenerated appearance
Why choose Mono Threads?
Offers and immediate natural looking lifting effect with minimal downtime
Progressive restoration of the body’s lost collagen
Entirely re-absorbable components
Restore facial contours without surgery- No incisions or surgical scars!
Long lasting effects for over 12 months
Ideal treatment for sagging tissues in the midface, eyebrow, neck and jawline
Mono threads can be used to improve the texture/ quality of skin in troublesome regions such as
lower cheeks and perioral regions that can become bulky with dermal filler treatments, again by stimulating the body’s own collagen production leading to continued improvement for months after the treatment itself has been undertaken.
We can also achieve tightening of tissues under the chin- the typical ‘turkey neck’ or loose ‘double chin’ again using mono-threads by stimulating the body’s own collagen.
Contraindications
You may not be suitable for treatment if you have any of the following:
Active acne or skin infection
Keloid predisposition
Auto-immune disease
Anti-coagulant medication
Haemophilia
Pregnancy/ IVF treatment/ breastfeeding
Active cold sore
History of bacterial endocarditis
Chemotherapy
Allergy to Lidocaine
Previous allergy to PDO threads
Pre-treatment instructions
Avoid wearing makeup before treatment to reduce the risk of infection.
It is important to avoid anti-inflammatory medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen or diclofenac) for at least 5 days prior to treatment unless it is prescribed for a medical indication. Similarly, avoid alcohol for 48 hours prior to treatment as this increases the risks of bruising and bleeding. Arnica may be taken 5 days prior to treatment to lessen the risk of bruising.
Aftercare instructions for PDO threads

Try to sleep on your back for the first week.
Sleep on a soft pillow for at least a week.
Avoid showering (washing or touching your face) for 24 hours after the treatment.
Avoid vigorous or physically demanding activities for 5 days.
Avoid alcohol for the next 48 hours.
