Mono Threads

What are Mono Threads?

Mono thread treatments are a non surgical cosmetic treatment that uses dissolvable threads to help rejuvenate collagen stimulation in a targeted area. Mono Threads are are made up of an absorbable material called polydioxanone (PDO). PDO is an FDA/TGA and EU approved absorbable suture like material and has a 30 year long safety track record for use in orthopaedic and cardiovascular surgery and for wound closure.

How Do Mono Threads Work to Help Promote Skin Tightening?

We gently insert the mono thread below the subdermal layer of your skin, following a mesh-like or cross hatching pattern. The reason PDO threads are inserted in that pattern is to promote collagen production.

How Do PDO Threads Help With Collagen and Elastin Production?

Your body produces collagen and elastin but it loses its ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production as you age. Elastin's flexibility helps your blood vessels and skin tissue to stretch, while collagen production strengthens your muscles. When a PDO thread is inserted into the tissue layer of your face and neck, it helps to stimulate your skin's natural collagen production.
