PDO Mono Threads & PD Threads,
PDO Mono Threads & PD Threads is a non-invasive treatment performed at Results Laser Clinic that tightens and firms the skin for a rejuvenated youthful appearance. As we age, our skin loses its firmness, elasticity, and volume, leading to the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. PDO Mono Threads are used to correct facial sagging, creping skin, and fine lines & wrinkles. Performed by our talented Cosmetic Team, PDO Mono Threads work beneath the surface to pull skin taut, and over time the threads dissolve stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin.
PDO Mono Threads can address the following areas
- Upper & Lower Cheeks
- Glabella Lines
- Nasolabial Folds

- Smokers/ Mouth Lines

How PD Threads Works
Lift, tighten and rejuvenate your skin with PDO Mono Threads – a minimally invasive, cosmetic treatment designed to reduce the signs of skin ageing by stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin. As we age, our skin loses its firmness, elasticity, and volume, leading to the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. PDO Mono Threads are used to correct these signs of aging to rejuvenate and brighten your overall complexion. This treatment is an excellent alternative to facelift surgery, as it is far less invasive and requires minimal downtime.
PDO Mono Threads use bio-dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads. They are 100% dissolvable and are used in a variety of surgical procedures worldwide, making them an extremely safe option for use in cosmetic treatments. The benefit of these threads is that they encourage natural collagen production and renewal. This leaves your skin looking rejuvenated long after the threads have dissolved as your skin is firmer and more elastic due to increased collagen production.
Performed by our talented Cosmetic team, PDO Mono threads use a non-incision method, gently inserting the threads beneath the skin, anchoring into the tissue to instantly lift and tighten the skin working beneath the surface to pull skin taut. Our cosmetic team will assess your concerns and determine the best position and number of threads to achieve your desired result. As the PDO Mono Threads dissolve over time, they stimulate collagen and elastin production, taking between 8 to 12 weeks to occur. You will start to see the changes in your skin, looking rejuvenated, firmer and more youthful!
To achieve a more complete and enhanced rejuvenation with an increased reduction in signs of skin ageing, PDO Mono Threads can be complemented with dermal filler/anti-wrinkle injections, non-surgical face/eye lifts or facial/Eye Rejuve Therapy following recovery from your treatment. Combining LED Light Therapy with PDO Mono Threads immediately before or after treatment can help minimise swelling and bruising as well as enhance your results!
Benefits Of PD Threads
- Instantly lift the skin
- Addresses skin ageing

Key benefits PDO Mono Threads have to offer include:
- Boosts collagen and elastin: PDO Mono Threads are strategically inserted within the layers of the skin to gently pull and lift the skin. Over time, these threads slowly begin to dissolve, which stimulates collagen and elastin production underneath the surface of the skin.
- Plumps up sunken areas: The stimulation of collagen production directly effects plumpness and elasticity of the skin. Increased collagen production will see your skin look more youthful, radiant and hydrated, restoring volume to sunken or hollow features.
- Restoring natural facial contours: As our skin begins to age, our natural collagen production is decreased and our skin begins to sag as a result of gravity. PDO Mono Threads Lifts subtly lift the skin, reducing the signs of aging and wrinkles, and restoring the natural contours of the face that have lost definition due to a lack of firmness in the skin.
- Improves wrinkles around the lips, eyes, and forehead: Achieve a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance with PDO Mono Threads. Skin is gently lifted and tightened, and as the threads dissolve under your skin, collagen and eleastin production is increased, making the skin look firmer and younger.
PDO Threads Aftercare
2-4 Weeks Prior to Treatment
- Please avoid the sun and tanning a minimum of 2 weeks prior to treatment and always protect your skin with Sunscreen SPF 50.
- Cosmetic Injectable treatments including Anti Wrinkle treatments (2 weeks prior) & Dermal Fillers (4 weeks prior)
- Avoid the use of skincare products containing active ingredients such as vitamin A, retinol, or glycolic acid.
- Avoid supplements that increase bruising and bleeding such as; Green Tea, Omegas, Primrose Oil, Garlic, Echinacea, Vitamin E, and multivitamins.
- Avoid the use of Nurofen, Aspirin, and other anti-inflammatories/anticoagulation medications.
What to expect after PD Threads Treatment
- Expect mild to moderate redness, swelling, and bruising, which will typically take 7-14 days to resolve. You can apply arnica gel or ointment immediately after your procedure. Use as needed.
- A stinging or “pulling” pain or discomfort or scratchy sensation is normal and will generally subside by 2 to 8 weeks.
- You may experience delayed healing and tenderness which will subside between 2 to 8 weeks or maybe longer.
- If you experience prolonged redness, swelling, infection, or any other disturbance to the treated skin contact your clinic. In rare cases of infection, we recommend you contact your GP.
Caring for the PD Thread Treatment Area
- Keep the dressing tape and area of insertion dry for at least 24-48 hours, or as recommended.
- Place a cold compact on the area for 5 to 10 minutes, every hour, to reduce pain and swelling. Continue this for the 24 hours following the procedure, if required.
- LED Light Therapy immediately before or after treatment can help minimise the swelling and bruising as well as enhance your results!
- Only use Velvet Co Mineral Makeup or other mineral-based makeup after treatment.
What to avoid after PD Thread treatment
- DO NOT massage areas where the PDO Threads are placed unless instructed by your Cosmetic Nurse.
- Avoid touching the area for 24 hours and try to avoid direct pressure on your face (recommend sleeping on your back) for 1 week.
- Until swelling/bruising has resolved avoid the use of AHA or Vitamin A products, strongly scented lotions & soaps, shaving, waxing or plucking hair, exfoliation, excessive sweating, swimming, or saunas, very hot showers, and excessive amounts of alcohol.
- Do not book laser, skin, or other cosmetic injectable treatments on any part of your face for at least 2 weeks after treatment. Wait 2 weeks for Anti Wrinkle injections, and 4 weeks for Dermal Fillers. DO NOT undergo dental procedures for at least 4- 6 weeks.
Post PD Threads Treatment Expectations
PDO Mono Thread treatments are usually performed in under an hour. Results can gradually be seen over the next few weeks. Treatment is recommeneded every 6 to 12 months to achieve and maintain optimal results. Good news, too – after your threads dissolve, your skin is not likely to resume its prior sag, instead your skin will more likely be firmer, with greater elasticity as the threads have stimulated collagen production making the skin less prone to sagging or wrinkles
