PDO Mono thread for facial rejuvenation

PDO Mono thread for facial rejuvenation

The latest trend for thread lifting is the usage of Polydioxanone (PDO) threads which is absorbed by the skin after several months. At the same time, this process stimulates and induces collagen production over the course of about 8 months, with the effects lasting typically 2 years.

Mono threads are smooth threads without barbs. Many of these thread type are placed into the face in a mesh-like fashion for skin tightening effect. Skin tightening usually improves after collagen starts forming around the threads. The treatment areas are often neck lines, neck sagginess, forehead and undereyes. Between 10 -20 mono threads are usually inserted for each treatment area.

In order to sustain a lift, the threads are attached to an “anchoring point” of the scalp or face. Mono threads tighten the skin but without significant lifting; therefore they have to be used with cog threads for an overall improvement in face tightening and rejuvenation.

Screw threads can come in the form of one or two threads intertwined together around the inserting needle. Screw thread has a great effect on giving volume effect on sunken area of the skin. “Multi Screw” – when intertwining two threads are used – has stronger effect over screw thread. Screw threads are usually used for general face-lifting. A tip our trainer from the Hands-On Korean Thread Lift Workshop, you can “create” your screw threads by inserting a mono thread in a twisting fashion.
