PDO Mono Thread Lifting treatment

As we age, our skin loses its youthful appearance, and signs of aging become more and more obvious. Fine facial lines and sagging skin are just two aging indicators, but they are important areas to address because these early signs of aging indicate a breakdown of the skin’s tissues. The face and neck areas are common areas of concern, but a thread lift procedure can also be used to address other areas of concern such as sagging buttocks, and wrinkly knees and elbows.

An introduction to PDO Mono Threads

PDO Mono Threads are the latest TGA approved aesthetic treatment to take Australia by storm. Mono Threads have a long history of success use worldwide. PDO Mono Threads are a non surgical alternative for skin lifting and tightening.

PDO Mono Threads or short threads are designed to perform a revitalization skin treatment, the treatment is beneficial for skin tightening, skin thickening and to improve skin texture thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Once inserted into the skin, PDO mono threads activate collagen synthesis to gradually tighten and rejuvenate the skin. This provides the skin with a tighter feel and appearance and more of a youthful look. Typically, around 10-30 PDO mono threads are used to treat an area. Mono threads are used on the face and body.

Results from a PDO Mono Thread treatment are most noticeable after 8-12 weeks and last up to 2 years. PDO Mono Threads are a made from a dissolving suture material which is reabsorbed into the body after 6-8 months.

Mono threads can only be inserted by properly trained doctors or nurses.

PDO Mono threads can be combined with PDO lifting threads to produce a non surgical facelift.
