NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT
PDO Mono Threads
We know that changes in skin support and firmness are a natural part of life. We also understand that some people may wish to discuss options that address the appearance of these changes.
Our clinic can provide consultations about PDO mono threads. During consultation, a practitioner will assess your concerns, review your medical history and discuss cosmetic options that may be appropriate for you.
PDO mono threads are smooth, absorbable sutures placed beneath the skin by trained practitioners in a clinical setting.
IF TREATMENT IS CONSIDERED APPROPRIATE
How the device may be used
If considered appropriate, PDO Mono Threads may be placed into selected areas of the skin by a doctor or trained clinician in a clinical setting.
The type of procedure, number of sessions and timing are determined after consultation and clinical assessment.
In some cases, your practitioner may recommend an alternative approach or no procedure.
HOW TREATMENT PLANNING WORKS

All cosmetic procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone.
Before any procedure is performed, your practitioner will:
- review your medical history, medications and relevant health information
- examine the treatment area
- explain the proposed procedure, limitations and alternatives, including choosing not to proceed
- discuss possible risks and side effects, including less common but more serious complications
Risks associated with procedures may include:
- redness or swelling
- dryness or peeling
- skin sensitivity or irritation
- pigmentation changes
- infection or delayed healing
- temporary muscle weakness
- uneven or unexpected aesthetic outcomes
Pain and comfort levels vary between individuals and depend on the procedure used. Some procedures may cause sensations such as warmth, tingling, tightness, discomfort or pressure during or after treatment.
Written aftercare instructions will be provided if treatment is performed.
They are smooth, absorbable sutures placed just beneath the skin by a trained clinician, used with the intention of addressing the visible appearance of local support and texture in suitable individuals.
Common treatment areas include the cheeks, jawline, neck and sometimes the temple region. Your practitioner will assess your anatomy and concerns to determine which areas, if any, are appropriate for you.
The timing and degree of visible change differ between individuals and cannot be promised in advance.
Any perceived improvement and how long it may last depend on factors such as your skin, age, lifestyle, number and placement of threads and how your body responds. Your practitioner may discuss review or maintenance, but no fixed duration can be guaranteed.
Downtime varies. Your practitioner will advise what is likely for your plan and any short-term activity restrictions.
In some cases, PDO mono threads may form part of a broader plan with other treatments (for example, energy-based procedures), if this is considered clinically appropriate. Any combinations are timed and sequenced on a case-by-case basis to support safety and healing; in some situations, combination treatment may not be recommended.
Suitability is assessed individually. Treatment is generally not recommended in situations such as pregnancy or breastfeeding, active infection or inflammation in the area, certain medical conditions or medications, or where skin quality or anatomy make threads unsuitable. Your practitioner will determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you and may recommend no treatment or referral instead.
Threads and devices used in the clinic are selected and used by appropriately qualified clinicians in line with current regulatory requirements and clinic protocols. Your practitioner can explain which product is being proposed for you, its classification and how it is intended to be used in your treatment.
