How do PDO mono threads work?
Our registered nurses will apply a numbing cream to the treatment areas to enhance your comfort for the procedure. Once your skin is numb, the treatment then involves inserting very thin, smooth, absorbable sutures into the skin using a fine needle. The threads create micro-wounds in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin, the foundation of healthy and youthful skin. Once the threads are in place, they are gently pulled back to lift and tighten sagging areas. They dissolve slowly over the next 12 months, continuing to stimulate collagen and elastin, leaving you with rejuvenated skin.
How do I know if PDO mono threads are right for me?
PDO mono threads are a non-surgical solution to tighten skin on the face and neck by stimulating collagen production. Patients may have varying results, depending on factors such as lifestyle and skin condition. Our experienced nurses at BioCell Cosmetic Clinic perform a thorough consultation before your first treatment, to review your medical history, assess other factors that may affect your results and ensure you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
What to expect with PDO mono threads?
You may experience some bruising and swelling over the first few days following the procedure, especially if you are taking ibuprofen or other blood thinning medications. These typically resolve within a few days on their own, without any further intervention needed. You may see some immediate improvement, however you will not see the full results until around 8-12 weeks after the procedure. As the threads slowly dissolve over the next 12 months, you should see a noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture, leaving you with a rejuvenated look.
Benefits of PDO mono threads:
– Lifts and tightens sagging skin
PDO threads dissolve slowly over time, stimulating collagen and elastin and leaving you with tighter, firmer and lifted skin.
– Minimises appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
By boosting collagen and elastin, PDO threads rejuvenate the skin, giving you enhanced skin texture and fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
– Improves overall skin texture
Overall skin texture is improved by the threads stimulating new collagen and elastin, leading to smoother, youthful looking skin.
– Restores fullness to areas of volume loss
Ageing can lead to areas of volume loss throughout the face, from loss of collagen and fat pads. PDO threads can improve this by stimulating new collagen in these areas and creating a more youthful look.
– Long-lasting results without surgery
With PDO mono threads, you will see results around 8-12 weeks after the procedure, and can last up to 12 months, with proper skin care and healthy lifestyle.
– Clinically safe and effective
PDO threads are made of a biodegradable material which has a long and safe history of use in various medical procedures and the body slowly breaks them down over time.
– Improves facial symmetry
PDO threads can be used to balance facial features and can even improve asymmetry.
– Effective results with little downtime
Our registered nurses are trained and experienced in PDO mono threads, helping you achieve a younger, rejuvenated look without the downtime of expensive and invasive facelift surgery.
