PDO mono Threads

FAQs
 

What are Mono Threads?

When looking for a solution to improve skin texture, skin care products may not always give you the results you want. This is the reason people go for surgical facelift procedures. If you do not want a surgical facelift procedure, consult with your physician to determine if you are an optimal candidate for the MINT procedure and consider PDO mono threads.
 

This threading procedure rejuvenates your face and neck tissue. These short threads are made up of an absorbable material called polydioxanone. Mono thread treatments are less invasive compared to Botox fillers, breast lifts, neck lifts, and other cosmetic treatments.

​

How do Mono Threads work to help Promote Skin Tightening?

The dermatologist (or certified medical provider) inserts the mono thread below the subdermal layer of your skin, following a mesh-like or cross hatching pattern. The reason PDO threads are inserted in that pattern is to promote collagen production.  PDO mono threads improve your skin without any surgical procedure involved

 

How Do PDO Threads Help With Collagen and Elastin Production?

Your body produces collagen and elastin but it loses its ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production as you age. Elastin's flexibility helps your blood vessels and skin tissue to stretch, while collagen production strengthens your muscles. When a PDO thread is inserted into the tissue layer of your face and neck, it helps to stimulate your skin's natural collagen production.

 

New collagen smooths out and rejuvenates your neck tissue and increases the volume of the nasolabial folds to improve skin texture. Mono threads help your skin to produce collagen, and your skin's quality improves after the procedure. After the procedure, your body produces collagen, which stimulates the healing process.

Who are the Best Candidates for mono thread?

​ If your age ranges between 25 and 55 years and you are looking to improve your skin texture and fine lines, you are a good candidate for mono thread treatments.
PDO mono threads are not suitable for patients who have:

• Autoimmune disease

• Bleeding disorders

• Uncontrolled diabetes

• Expectant mothers

• Illnesses and infections

• Keloid scarring

 PDO mono threads are not designed to lift your features. Mono threads do not have barbs; they are smooth. Skin tightening is what causes that lift. If you want a lift, you can talk to your doctor about that, and they will advise you on what thread lifts you can use with mono threads.

​

What Not to Do After the Procedure and What to Expect After a Mono-Thread Treatment?

You should avoid too much facial movement after the treatment. You might experience swelling and bruising after the procedure, but they are less compared to the ones experienced after surgical facelifts.

 

You should take a three-week break from hard exercises, hot tubs, and saunas after a mono-thread treatment. This protects you from getting infections. Following these instructions allows your skin to heal and minimize the chances of side effects.

 

What to Do to Promote Collagen Production After the Procedure?

Too much sun exposure damages the collagen in your skin. When you leave your house, make sure to apply sunscreen to prevent further collagen damage.

 

Moisturizing your skin daily can also help promote collagen production. Because your body takes time to produce collagen, you may see results after twelve weeks.

What are the Benefits of Mono Threads

Mono threads help your body produce collagen, which thickens, rejuvenates, and tightens the skin. They help promote the production of collagen, which gives your skin that youthful appearance. Mono threads are minimally invasive procedures, thus the swelling and bruising on your skin will disappear after one week.

 

Mono threads improve your skin's quality over time. A few months after the procedure, you may notice your skin looking even better as the threads dissolve and help the body to produce collagen.
