About

Mono threads are smooth, dissolvable sutures made of polydioxanone (PDO) used in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. Inserted just beneath the skin, they do not physically pull or lift tissue; instead, they act as a collagen stimulator, triggering your body to build firmer, tighter, and more elastic skin from within.

How They Work

• Collagen Production: The threads create an intentional, minor inflammatory response, prompting the body to produce fresh collagen and elastin.
• Dissolution: The threads naturally absorb into the body over 4 to 6 months, but the newly formed collagen network remains.
• Texture Improvement: They are highly effective for refining skin texture, reducing fine lines, and firming areas with mild laxity.

Common Treatment Areas

• Face: Forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, nasolabial folds, and jawline.
• Neck: Smoothing neck lines and tightening “tech neck”.
• Body: Used on the décolletage, arms, or abdomen.

What to Expect

• Procedure: Typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. Providers often place them in a “mesh-like” pattern for optimal tightening.
• Recovery: Mild swelling, bruising, or pinpoint tenderness at the insertion sites is common but usually resolves within a few days.
• Results: Subtle improvements appear quickly, with full collagen-boosting effects peaking around 2 to 3 months and lasting 1 to 2 years.
