Mono Rejuvenation Threads

PDO Mono Threads

Frequently Asked Questions

• What areas can be treated with PDO Mono Threads?

  PDO Mono Threads are great in mobile areas of the face. They are flexible and don’t interfere with muscles, allowing practically all areas of the face and body to be treated, including upper and lower cheeks, marionette lines, crow’s feet and periorbital zone, forehead and brows, arms, neck and jawline, nose to mouth lines, buttocks and abdomen. You can also have Mono Threads inserted in the edge of the lip line to give a subtle enhancement without injecting filler and experiencing puffiness and bleeding.

• Who is a good candidate for PDO Mono Threads?

  The most favourable anatomic characteristics for Mono Threads are people with a low body mass index, minimal fullness to the soft tissues, strong underlying bone structure to support elevated tissue, and good skin quality. Mono Threads are great for tightening the skin without adding volume.

• How long until I see the results of the Mono Threads?

  You will begin to see results within six weeks of your treatment. These results will continue to improve over the next 2-6 months as new collagen is produced.

• How long do the results last?

  PDO Mono Threads help to create new collagen that supports your face and creates a tightening effect that lasts 6-12 months after your treatment. The results vary depending on lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol, exercise etc. We recommend having another Mono Thread treatment six months after the initial treatment to maintain tightening effects.

• Does the procedure hurt?

  Topical anaesthetic will be applied before the Mono Thread treatment, so you experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. You may experience a firm feeling and some tenderness in the area that has been treated for a few days after the procedure.

• How long does the treatment take?

  The time of the treatment will vary based on factors, such as the size of the area being treated but will typically take anywhere between 30-60 minutes.

• What is the downtime?

  Treatment may produce minor swelling and bruising in the area that has been treated, which will subside after a few days. Often clients will return to work the next day.

• Is there anything else I should know?

  This treatment will be performed by our highly trained medical team.

  • Avoid taking blood thinning medications and supplements including aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oils and alcohol for three days prior to having treatment. This will minimise the chance of bruising.
  • Avoid facial laser treatments for 3 months post-treatment
  • Avoid more invasive skin tightening treatments 6 months post-treatment
  • This treatment is not suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
