PDO Mono Threads
A PDO mono thread is a temporary cosmetic procedure that specialises in tightening your skin. Originally popular in Korea, PDO mono threads have taken the world by storm. This procedure is done without fillers and invasive surgery, making it a popular alternative to traditional cosmetic surgery.
PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads are a soluble synthetic material that has been used for more than 30 years, used in many surgeries worldwide. Scientific research has proved that PDO threads not only tighten the skin but also stimulate the reproduction of collagen and ultimately elastin which is creating a tightening effect for up to 12 months after your procedure. The threads become a support structure for your face allowing natural collagen production to take place, over time the PDO thread will be fully absorbed by the body. Typically, around 20-50 PDO Mono threads are used to treat each area, results from a PDO Mono Thread treatment are most noticeable after 8-12 weeks.
