Mono and PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are medical-grade threads used in aesthetic treatments to lift and tighten sagging skin. These threads are biodegradable, meaning they naturally dissolve in the body over time, leaving behind a more youthful, firmer appearance.
Mono Threads Mono threads are smooth, single threads inserted into the skin to stimulate collagen production. They are particularly effective for improving skin texture and elasticity, providing a subtle lift and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Common treatment areas include the forehead, under-eye region, and neck.
PDO threads, on the other hand, come in various types, including barbed threads, which provide a more significant lifting effect. These threads are used to reposition and tighten the skin, making them ideal for areas like the jawline, cheeks, and nasolabial folds. The barbs anchor into the skin, allowing for a more pronounced lift and long-lasting results.
