What are Mono threads?

Mono Threads are fine, absorbable threads made from polydioxanone (PDO), designed to stimulate collagen production by being inserted into the subdermal layer of the skin in a mesh-like pattern. This quick, non-surgical treatment is ideal for rejuvenating areas like the lower face, neck, jaw, and jowls. After a topical numbing cream is applied, the threads are gently placed under the skin using a fine needle to tighten and refresh the complexion.​

Potential PDO Mono thread complications

PDO thread lifts have a much lower risk of complications than facelift surgeries. There’s less risk of scarring, severe bruising, or bleeding when performed by a trained professional.

Minor complications occur in 15 to 20 percent of procedures but are usually easily corrected. Potential complications include:​

• pain

• minor bruising

• infection

• accumulation of blood (hematoma)

• dimpling (orange peel-like skin texture)

• inflammation

​

What areas of the face can Mono thread treat?

Threads are placed under the skin via needle in the lower part of the face, neck, jaw and jowls once a topical numbing cream is applied for your comfort. Made from polydioxanone (PDO), the threads eventually dissolve while stimulating collagen and elastin production, creating a tightening effect.

 

How long does a Mono threads last?

Once the needle is removed the threads remain in place for up to six months and then slowly dissolve. They start dissolving at approximately 3 months but the collagen stimulation can last up to 12 months. This long-lasting effect is due to improvement of the skin condition due to the stimulation of collagen and elastin.

​

How many Mono Threads will I need?
