What are PDO Mono threads?

Mono threads are a minimally invasive non-surgical thread and absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) suture. They have a 30 year safety track record for use in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgery and wound disclosure. The brand we use at Absolute Cosmetic is Australian TGA approved and backed by clinical studies for efficacy and safety.

When will I see results and how long will they last?

While the tightening effect is immediate following insertion of threads, on average most patients will notice results 6-8 weeks post-treatment.

Results will vary with all treatments, including Mono Threads. On average results for this treatment will last on average 9-12 months.

How do PDO Mono threads work?

Polydioxanone (PDO) Mono threads are individually inserted to create a vectorial mesh underneath the skin. This mesh acts as a support system for the skin tissue. The insertion of the mono thread provides immediate tightening, whilst stimulating our natural collagen production.

  • The embedded threads gradually reabsorb over 3-4 months through hydrolisis.
  • Mono threads produce and increase collagen around the inserted thread. While effects are immediate, maximum tension and results are achieved 2-3 months post treatment.

What can I expect at my appointment?

A topical numbing agent (cream or a nerve block) will be administered by your practitioner, at least 30-minutes before your treatment. While numbing is not essential, this option is recommended to ensure minimal discomfort.

Depending on the number of threads you have opted for, and the area/s to be treated, total treatment time can take anywhere from 15-40 minutes.

Other Options

In addition to PDO Mono Threads fortightening, at Absolute Cosmetic we offer a variety of other non-invasive treatments, targeting different skin concerns, including non-surgical nose modifications, using PDO Threads.
