Boost collagen with PDO threads and restore a more youthful glow

PDO Threads are designed to tighten and thicken your skin. They differ from a thread lift which uses long barbed threads to lift tissues, however, PDO threads can still provide an improvement of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating natural collagen production.

The treatment induces the production of collagen, creating a tightening effect for 6 to 12 months and the threads become a support structure for your face. This allows natural collagen production to take place and over time the threads will be fully absorbed by the body.

The threads are inserted into the subdermal level, in a mesh-like pattern which activates collagen synthesis and produces a gradual skin thickening, skin tightening, and rejuvenation effect. They are minimally invasive and can be used multiple times.

  • Mono Threads are fully resorbable and help your skin generate new collagen
  • They are perfect for restoring a more youthful glow
  • The treatment is quick and simple

We also use long COG Threads which have a barbed texture to anchor the soft tissue, providing a greater lift.

COMMON QUESTIONS

PDO Threads induce the production of collagen, creating a tightening effect for 6 to 12 months after your procedure. The threads become a support structure for your face, allowing natural collagen production to take place.

After receiving a topical anaesthetic, PDO Threads will be inserted using a micro-needle or cannula. The treatment is a highly customised procedure and our Talent will work closely with you in order to achieve optimal results. PDO Threads don’t involve any sort of incision, meaning stitches are not required.

You will begin to see results in 6 weeks which continue to improve over the next 2 to 6 months as new collagen is produced. Although the PDO Threads will slowly dissolve, you will continue to see results for up to 12 months.

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. It may be recommended to have another Mono Thread treatment six months after the initial treatment to maintain the tightening effects.

The time of your treatment will vary based on many factors—such as the size of your treatment area — but typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes.

Pricing starts from $475.

PDO threads are made from Polydioxanone – an absorbable polymer. This material is both flexible and durable.

Mono Thread treatments may produce swelling and bruising in the area that has been treated, which will subside after a few days.

A topical anesthetic 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.
