Mono Thread
Mono Threads are smooth, barb-free PDO (Polydioxanone) threads inserted directly beneath the skin in a fine mesh or grid pattern to stimulate deep collagen and elastin production — without physically lifting tissue the way cog threads do. PDO monofilament threads are synthetic absorbable sutures that dissolve within 4–6 months through hydrolysis, stimulating collagen production in the targeted areas — providing subtle skin tightening while promoting collagen synthesis as they naturally dissolve. Unlike cog threads that reposition sagging tissue, mono threads work as a biostimulator — rebuilding the skin’s structural collagen framework from within for improved firmness, hydration, and texture over 12–18 months.
Key Benefits
Pure collagen biostimulation
Clinical studies confirm that PDO thread insertion produces significant increases in collagen synthesis at the insertion site — with patients experiencing improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and enhanced skin elasticity for up to 12 months post-treatment.
Progressive, natural results
Improvement builds gradually over 3–6 months as new collagen organises beneath the skin — delivering a natural, non-operated appearance.
Treats zones cog threads cannot
Delicate areas like under-eyes, lips, neck, and décolletage are safely treated with mono threads where barbed cog threads are too aggressive.
Long-lasting beyond thread life
While the threads dissolve within 6–8 months, the rejuvenating effects continue for 1–2 years due to the sustained stimulation of natural collagen production.
Safe for all skin types
No pigmentation risk, no heat, no ablation — mono threads are safe and well-tolerated across all Fitzpatrick skin types including Indian skin.
Step-by-step Procedure
Consultation & Zone Mapping
Your dermatologist assesses skin laxity, texture, hydration, and fine lines across the target zones — then designs a personalised thread placement pattern (cross-hatch, fan, or grid) for each area.
Cleansing & Topical Anaesthesia
The treatment area is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied for 20–30 minutes. Local anaesthetic may also be injected along insertion pathways for deeper or larger treatment areas.
Thread Insertion
Ultra-fine needles are used to insert mono threads in a precise pattern beneath the skin surface — the number of threads per zone depends on the area size and concern severity. A full face session uses 20–60 threads typically.
Pattern Completion & Review
Once all threads are placed, your dermatologist reviews the distribution for uniform coverage and makes any final placement adjustments before completing the session.
Aftercare
Mild redness and minimal swelling resolve within 24–48 hours. Avoid pressure on treated areas, intense facial massage, and active skincare for 5–7 days. Results begin improving at 4–6 weeks and peak at 3–6 months.
