PDO Mono Threads: The Subtle Skin Tightening Solution You’ve Been Waiting For
If you’re noticing areas of your face that feel less firm than they used to—like under the eyes, jawline, or neck—but you're not quite ready for dermal fillers or more invasive treatments, PDO mono threads could be the perfect solution.
This gentle, collagen-stimulating treatment offers natural-looking results with minimal downtime—and it’s quickly becoming a go-to for those seeking skin rejuvenation without adding volume.
What Are PDO Mono Threads?
PDO (polydioxanone) mono threads are fine, medical-grade dissolvable threads made from the same material used in surgical sutures. Once inserted just beneath the skin’s surface, these threads create a controlled healing response that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production.
They don’t add volume, instead, they help your skin rebuild structure and firmness from within.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
PDO mono threads are ideal for mild to moderate skin laxity and can be used almost anywhere on the face or body where you’d like to see a firmer, smoother appearance.
Common areas include:
Under-eye area/ Tear Trough (for crepiness and fine lines)
Jawline and chin (for softening jowls and defining contours)
Neck (to improve skin laxity and texture)
Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
Cheeks (to improve skin texture and mild sagging)
This treatment is highly customisable and can be tailored to your individual concerns.
How Does the Treatment Work?
After applying a topical anaesthetic, the threads are carefully inserted into the target area using a fine needle or cannula. The procedure is generally well-tolerated and takes around 30–45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
The threads remain under the skin for around 12 weeks before dissolving naturally, but the collagen they stimulate continues to strengthen and support the skin for up to 12 months.
What Results Can I Expect?
While results are subtle and build gradually over time, you can expect:
Firmer, more lifted skin
Improved skin texture and tone
A more refreshed, youthful appearance
Natural-looking results without added volume
Most clients begin to see visible improvements around 4–6 weeks post-treatment, with optimal results developing at the 12-week mark.
Downtime and Aftercare
Downtime is minimal, some clients may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising for a few days after treatment. You’ll be able to return to most normal activities right away, but I recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and facial massages for about a week.
Is This Treatment Right for You?
PDO mono threads are perfect for those looking for a natural, collagen-boosting treatment that tightens and smooths without looking “done.” It's especially popular with clients in their 30s to 50s who want to address early signs of ageing or boost skin resilience.
