About PDO Mono Threads and PD Threads
PDO Mono Threads and PD Threads are a minimally invasive treatment that tightens and firms the skin for a rejuvenated, more youthful-looking appearance.
As skin loses firmness, elasticity and volume over time, fine lines, wrinkles and sagging can develop. PDO Mono Threads are used to address facial sagging, creping skin and fine lines and wrinkles. The threads work beneath the surface to pull skin taut, then dissolve while stimulating natural collagen and elastin production.
Areas that can be addressed
- Upper and lower cheeks.
- Glabella lines.
- Nasolabial folds and smile lines.
- Smoker’s or mouth lines.
- Sagging jowls, jawline and chin.
- Neck lines.
The source describes PD Threads and Facial Thread Lifts as signature services and as a less invasive option for people seeking facial lifting. A complimentary consultation with the Cosmetic team is used to assess your features and create a treatment plan around your priorities.
How PD Threads Work
PDO Mono Threads use bio-dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO). These threads are 100% dissolvable and are used in surgical procedures worldwide. The source describes them as a safe option for cosmetic treatment because they encourage natural collagen production and renewal.
Using a non-incision method, the Cosmetic team gently inserts threads beneath the skin and anchors them into tissue to lift and tighten the area. The team assesses concerns and determines the right position and number of threads for the desired result.
As PDO Mono Threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen and elastin production. The source says this takes approximately eight to 12 weeks, when skin can begin to look firmer, rejuvenated and more youthful.
For enhanced rejuvenation after recovery, the source notes that PDO Mono Threads can be complemented with dermal filler or anti-wrinkle injections, non-surgical face or eye lifts, facial or Eye Rejuve Therapy. LED Light Therapy immediately before or after treatment may help minimise swelling and bruising and enhance results.
Your PDO Mono Threads Journey
- Book a complimentary consultation with a Cosmetic Nurse to discuss features, priorities, treatment details and expectations.
- If proceeding, follow pre-treatment requirements for two to four weeks. PDO Mono Threads generally take 45 to 60 minutes.
- Follow aftercare guidance and book a follow-up appointment to assess recovery and results. Recovery can take seven to 14 days.
- As the threads dissolve, effects can last for several months; the source recommends repeat treatment every six to 12 months.
Treatments are tailored to individual needs and priorities.
Benefits of PD Threads
- Instantly lifts the skin.
- Addresses visible signs of skin ageing.
- Restores natural facial contours.
- Helps reduce sagging and wrinkles.
- Plumps sunken areas and adds volume to flattened cheeks.
- Boosts collagen and elastin.
- Helps address shape and symmetry.
- May improve wrinkles around the lips, eyes and forehead.
- Is quick and less invasive than surgery, with minimal downtime compared with surgery.
How the benefits are achieved
Collagen and elastin support: PDO Mono Threads are strategically inserted within skin layers to gently pull and lift. As they dissolve, they stimulate collagen and elastin production beneath the surface.
Volume and plumpness: increased collagen production supports skin plumpness and elasticity, helping restore volume to hollow or sunken features.
Facial contours: a subtle lift can reduce the appearance of sagging and wrinkles and restore definition where the skin has lost firmness.
Fine lines and wrinkles: lifting and tightening the skin while increasing collagen and elastin can help skin look firmer and younger, including around the lips, eyes and forehead.

Your PDO Mono Threads Journey
If you have decided that PDO Mono Threads is a treatment you’re interested in, then we are more than happy to assist you! The next steps will see you achieve a rejuvenated, youthful appearance before you know it.
- Firstly, you will book in for a complimentary consultation with one of our passionate team of Cosmetic Nurses, who will assess your features and create a treatment plan based on your specific needs and priorities. They will discuss with you the details of the treatment and what is to be expected.
- If you are happy to go ahead with your PDO Mono Thread Lift then ensure you have followed the pre-treatment requirements 2-4 weeks prior to your treatment, and you are ready to go. PDO Mono Threats threads can generally take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to complete.
- Follow the post-treatment advice to ensure you have the smoothest recovery possible, and book your follow-up appointment with the Cosmetic Nurse to assess your recovery and your results. Recovery can take between 7-14 days.
- As PDO Mono Threads dissolve over time, effects will last for several months, after which the procedure can be performed again. We recommend having a treatment every 6 to 12 months. We tailor our treatments to suit your needs, so you will leave us feeling confident and happy with your results! Before your PDO Mono Threads treatment, book a complimentary consultation with our talented Cosmetic team, where they will assess your features and create a treatment plan based on your specific needs and priorities.
PDO Threads Aftercare
- Avoid sun and tanning for at least two weeks, and protect skin with SPF 50 sunscreen.
- Avoid cosmetic injectable treatments: anti-wrinkle treatments for two weeks and dermal fillers for four weeks before treatment.
- Avoid skincare containing active ingredients such as vitamin A, retinol or glycolic acid.
- Avoid supplements that can increase bruising and bleeding, including green tea, omegas, primrose oil, garlic, echinacea, vitamin E and multivitamins.
- Avoid Nurofen, aspirin and other anti-inflammatory or anticoagulation medications; only stop prescribed medication if approved by your GP.
- Mild to moderate redness, swelling and bruising can take seven to 14 days to resolve. Arnica gel or ointment may be applied after the procedure as needed.
- A stinging, pulling or scratchy sensation is normal and generally subsides within two to eight weeks.
- Delayed healing and tenderness can subside in two to eight weeks, or longer.
- Contact your clinic if you experience prolonged redness, swelling, infection or another disturbance to treated skin. In rare cases of infection, contact your GP.
- Keep the dressing tape and insertion area dry for at least 24 to 48 hours, or as directed.
- Use a cold compress for five to 10 minutes every hour for up to 24 hours if required to reduce pain and swelling.
- LED Light Therapy immediately before or after treatment may help minimise swelling and bruising and enhance results.
- Use Velvet Co Mineral Makeup or another mineral-based makeup after treatment.
- Do not massage areas where PDO threads were placed unless instructed by your Cosmetic Nurse.
- Avoid touching the area for 24 hours and direct pressure on the face for one week; sleeping on your back is recommended.
- Until swelling and bruising resolve, avoid AHA or vitamin A products, strongly scented lotions and soaps, shaving, waxing, plucking, exfoliation, excessive sweating, swimming, saunas, very hot showers and excessive alcohol.
- Do not book laser, skin or other cosmetic injectable treatments on the face for at least two weeks. Wait two weeks for anti-wrinkle injections, four weeks for dermal fillers, and four to six weeks for dental procedures.
PDO Mono Thread treatments are usually completed in under an hour. Results can gradually appear over the next few weeks. The source recommends treatment every six to 12 months to maintain optimal results; after threads dissolve, collagen stimulation may leave skin firmer and more elastic and less prone to sagging or wrinkles.

PDO Mono Threads are used to address facial sagging, creping skin and fine lines and wrinkles.

The procedure generally takes less than an hour, although the time can vary according to the number of threads used.
As PDO Mono Threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen and elastin production. The source says this process takes approximately eight to 12 weeks.
PDO Mono Threads are metabolised six to eight months after the procedure. As the threads dissolve, effects can last for several months; the source recommends treatment every six to 12 months.
Some clients experience soreness, redness and swelling afterwards, but most describe thread lifting as mild discomfort. A small amount of local anaesthetic is used for comfort.

Tell the Cosmetic team about treatments received in the previous six months and medications you take. Avoid aspirin, Motrin, Advil, ibuprofen, vitamin E, gingko biloba, fish oil, garlic pills and other anti-inflammatory medication for one to two weeks before treatment if your GP approves, as they can increase bruising risk. Limit alcohol and smoking for at least a week before the procedure.
