Your Definitive Guide to PDO Mono Threads and PDO Cog Lifting Threads

We pride ourselves on offering state-of-the-art beauty treatments to our clients here in Crewe. Among our most sought-after treatments this year are PDO Mono Threads and PDO Cog Lifting Threads.

These advanced cosmetic procedures are designed to rejuvenate the skin, offering a non-surgical facelift with incredible results. So in this quick guide, we will explore how these treatments work, what they entail, and the incredible benefits they offer.

Understanding PDO Threads

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads is a type of non-surgical facelift treatment that involves the use of dissolvable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin.

PDO threads have been used for many years in surgical procedures, particularly in cardiovascular surgery, due to their safety and efficacy. When used in cosmetic treatments, they help to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which are vital for maintaining youthful, firm skin.

What are PDO Mono Threads?

PDO Mono Threads are smooth threads made of polydioxanone. These ultra fine threads are inserted into the skin in a mesh-like pattern to provide a subtle lift and skin tightening.

Unlike PDO Cog Threads, Mono Threads do not have barbs; instead, they work primarily by stimulating collagen production around the threads, in turn leading to improved skin texture and elasticity.

The Treatment Process

Consultation: The first step is a detailed consultation with one of our experienced practitioners at Radiance Personified, to discuss your skin concerns and desired outcomes.

Preparation: On the day of your treatment, targeted areas are cleaned and numbed with a topical anaesthetic to ensure comfort.

Insertion: PDO Mono Threads are then carefully inserted into the skin using fine needles. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Aftercare: After the treatment, clients can resume most of their daily activities immediately, although some minor swelling or bruising may occur.

Results and Longevity

The results from PDO Mono Threads develop gradually as the threads stimulate collagen production. Expect to see improved skin texture, firmness and a subtle lift within 1-2 weeks. The effects can last between a year and 18 months, depending on your skin conditions and various lifestyle factors.

What are PDO Cog Lifting Threads?

PDO Cog Lifting Threads are similar to Mono Threads but with tiny cogs along the thread. These cogs anchor onto skin tissue, providing a more pronounced lifting effect. This makes them ideal for areas that require more significant lifting and contouring, such as the jawline, cheeks and neck.

The Treatment Process

Consultation: As with Mono Threads, the process begins with a thorough consultation with one of our specialists, to tailor the treatment to your own needs.

Preparation: The area to be treated is thoroughly cleaned and numbed with a mild local anaesthetic.

Insertion: PDO Cog Threads are inserted using a fine needle or cannula. Tiny barbs on the threads hook onto skin tissue, allowing the practitioner to gently lift and reposition the skin.

Aftercare: Post-treatment care is minimal, but clients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and facial massages for a few weeks to ensure optimal results.

Results and Longevity

The lifting effect of PDO Cog Threads is noticeable immediately after the procedure. However, the overall results improve over the next few months as collagen production increases.

Incredibly, the effects can last up to 2 years, offering a long-lasting solution to sagging skin and loss of facial volume.

Advantages of PDO Threads

Both PDO Mono Threads and PDO Cog Lifting Threads offer numerous benefits:

Non-surgical: These treatments provide a facelift effect without the need for invasive surgery or lengthy recovery times.

Natural results: The gradual production of collagen ensures that the results look natural and improve over time.

Versatility: PDO Threads can be used on various areas of the face and body, addressing multiple skin concerns.

Safety: PDO threads are biocompatible and biodegradable, meaning they are safely absorbed by the body over time.

Quick procedure: The treatments are relatively quick, often completed within an hour, making them suitable for busy lifestyles.
