PDO
mono threads

PDO mono threads are fine, dissolvable threads placed in the skin to support skin quality. The goal isn’t a dramatic ‘lift’, but subtle firming and a fresher look through collagen support. Results build over time.

What are PDO mono threads?

Mono threads are smooth PDO threads without barbs. They mainly target skin texture and firmness via collagen support, not an immediate mechanical lift.

  • Subtle skin firming
  • Supports collagen
  • Natural-looking
  • Buildable results

Typical areas (depending on suitability)

  • Jawline/lower face (skin quality support)
  • Cheeks (texture/firmness)
  • Neck (skin quality)
  • Perioral area/smoker’s lines (if suitable)

What to expect

When will I see results?

Gradually. Collagen build-up takes time. Progress is typically seen in the weeks after treatment.

How many treatments?

Depends on your skin. Sometimes one session, often a plan with review/maintenance.

Downtime?

Mild swelling/bruising can occur. Recovery varies by person and area.

We define goals, areas and confirm mono threads are the right choice.

2. Plan & expectations

3. Treatment

Placement with medical precision and comfort in focus.

4. Review

We monitor progress and adjust when needed.

Aftercare

  • 24–48 hours: avoid intense workouts, sauna/steam room and alcohol (as advised).
  • Avoid rubbing/massaging the treated area for the first days.
  • Prefer back-sleeping if relevant for the treated area.
  • If pain increases, swelling worsens, or you’re concerned: contact us.

Side effects & safety

Possible: swelling, tenderness, bruising or temporary unevenness from swelling. Usually temporary. We discuss contraindications and expectations during consultation.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as a ‘thread lift’?+

No. Mono threads focus on skin quality and collagen. A true lift is more associated with barbed/COG threads (if suitable).

How long do the threads stay?+

PDO threads dissolve gradually. The effect mainly comes from collagen support and develops over the following weeks.

Does it hurt?+

Usually manageable. We focus on comfort and explain what to expect.

Can it be combined with other treatments?+

Sometimes (e.g. skin boosters). We schedule it safely with recovery time.
