PDO Mono Threads at Haus of Ästhetik

 

Polydioxanone (PDO) Mono Threads are a minimally invasive treatment designed to improve skin quality by stimulating collagen production. Unlike COG threads, which are barbed and intended for mechanical lifting, mono threads are smooth and are placed in a mesh-like pattern beneath the skin to create a supportive structure. Over time, they trigger natural fibroblast activity, promoting skin tightening, hydration, and fine line reduction.

 

This treatment is ideal for patients seeking subtle rejuvenation without volumisation or significant lifting.

What Is the Procedure For?

PDO COG threads are used to:

• Lift and tighten loose or sagging skin

• Restore natural contours in body areas affected by ageing or weight loss

• Improve the appearance of crepey, weakened skin through collagen stimulation

• Offer a non-surgical alternative to excisional or energy-based tightening methods

Treatment Areas for PDO Mono Threads Include:

  • Small Areas (10–20 Threads)

    • Glabella lines (frown lines)
    • Crow’s feet
    • Upper lip (smoker’s lines)
    • Nasolabial folds (mild)
    • Chin dimpling
    • Eyebrow tail lift (support only)

  • Medium Areas (20–40 Threads)

    • Mid-face (cheeks, tear trough support)
    • Jawline (mild sagging or skin texture improvement)
    • Neck (horizontal lines or crepey skin)
    • Nasolabial and marionette lines combined
    • Temples or forehead (for tightening, not volumisation)

  • Large Areas (40–60 Threads)

    • Full face rejuvenation (scattered mesh technique)
    • Full jawline tightening
    • Neck & submental region combined
    • Décolletage
    • Abdomen (mild laxity or post-partum skin)

How Does the Treatment Work?

At Haus of Ästhetik, we use PDO mono threads made from absorbable surgical suture material. Once inserted into the superficial dermis using a fine needle or cannula, the threads stimulate collagen synthesis around the thread over a period of 12 weeks. This results in gradual skin thickening, improved elasticity, and smoother skin texture.

 

This method is:

• Minimally invasive and well-tolerated

• Collagen-stimulating with no volumisation effect

• Ideal for fine lines, skin thinning, and early signs of ageing

This treatment is ideal for those who:

• Wish to avoid surgery but seek noticeable skin tightening

• Are experiencing mild-to-moderate skin laxity due to weight fluctuation or ageing

• Have plateaued with topical treatments, microneedling, or collagen induction therapies

• Desire long-lasting structural support with gradual, natural improvement

PDO Threads Technique:

  • Injection Technique: Cannula vs Needle

    Needle vs Cannula Technique:

    PDO mono threads can be inserted via either fine needles or blunt-tip cannulas. The choice depends on the area being treated:

     

    • Needle Technique: More precise placement, ideal for facial lines and under-eye areas

    • Cannula Technique: Reduces trauma and risk of bruising, often preferred for larger or more vascular areas like the jawline or neck

What to expect from your procedure:

  • Treatment Duration:

    30–45 minutes

  • Pain Level:

    Mild; most patients tolerate treatment well

  • Numbing:

    Topical anaesthetic applied pre-procedure

  • Downtime:

    Minimal – mild swelling, tenderness or bruising for 24–72 hours

  • Results Seen:

    Subtle tightening and skin texture improvements from 3–6 weeks

  • Longevity:

    Approximately 6–12 months, depending on skin condition and lifestyle

This Treatment Is Ideal for Individuals Who:

• Want firmer, more youthful skin without significant downtime

• Are concerned about early signs of ageing or fine wrinkles

• Have mild skin laxity in the face or body

• Prefer a subtle collagen-boosting treatment without volume

• Are not yet ready for dermal fillers or surgical lifting

Frequently Asked Questions

What are PDO Threads

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are absorbable surgical sutures placed beneath the skin to stimulate collagen, improve skin texture, and promote natural tightening and lifting.

What’s the difference between PDO mono threads and COG threads?

Mono threads are smooth and used for collagen stimulation and mild tightening. COG threads are barbed and designed for lifting sagging skin, offering mechanical support and structure in areas like the jawline, mid-face, and neck.

Who is suitable for PDO thread treatments?

PDO thread treatments are ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity, early jowling, or volume loss who want non-surgical rejuvenation without significant downtime. A consultation will determine your individual suitability.

What areas can be treated with PDO COG threads?

Common areas include:

  • Jawline
  • Cheeks
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Jowls
  • Neck
  • Brows (for a subtle lift)
  • Marionette lines

Are the results immediate?

Yes. The lifting effect from COG threads is visible immediately. However, the full benefits continue to develop over 6–12 weeks as collagen production increases.

How long do the results last?

Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on age, skin quality, lifestyle, and the number/type of threads used.

Is the procedure painful?

Mild discomfort may be experienced. Numbing cream and local anaesthetic are used to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.

What is the downtime after PDO threads?

Downtime is usually minimal. Some swelling, bruising, and mild soreness may occur for a few days. Most clients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.

Safety and Aftercare

• No strenuous exercise for 48 hours

• Avoid makeup for 24 hours post-procedure

• Use a gentle skincare routine and avoid active ingredients for 5–7 days

• Do not massage the treated area for 2 weeks

Can I combine PDO threads with other treatments?

Yes. PDO threads can complement treatments like dermal fillers, skin boosters, or polynucleotides for enhanced facial rejuvenation. Your practitioner will guide you on safe combination protocols.

Are there any risks or side effects?

Temporary side effects may include bruising, swelling, and mild puckering at entry points. Rare risks include thread migration, infection, or asymmetry—all of which are minimised when performed by qualified medical professionals.

When will I see the full results?

Immediate lifting is visible, but optimal skin tightening and collagen stimulation develop over 6–12 weeks following treatment.

Are the threads visible under the skin?

No, threads are placed within the subdermal plane and are not visible. In very thin skin, you may temporarily feel them, but this subsides as the tissue settles.

Can PDO threads replace a surgical facelift?

No. While PDO threads offer lifting and tightening, they are a non-surgical option best suited for mild to moderate laxity. They cannot replace the dramatic results of surgery but offer excellent results for appropriate candidates.

What’s the difference between PLLA, PCL, and PDO threads?

PDO threads offer faster absorption and quicker collagen stimulation. PLLA and PCL threads have longer-lasting results (up to 24 months), but their effects take longer to appear. At Haus of Ästhetik, we use PDO COG threads for proven, safe, and effective outcomes.

How do I maintain my results?

• Follow your clinician’s post-procedure guidance

• Use mesoestetic® post-treatment care and daily SPF

• Avoid sun exposure and exfoliants for 5–7 days post-treatment

• Maintain a healthy skincare routine and avoid smoking or excessive alcohol

• Schedule top-ups every 3–6 months for sustained benefits
