PDO Mono Threads Sydney
PDO Mono threading looks to give you a more youthful glow.
Mono threading works to stimulate collagen and improve skin texture for patients in Sydney. This skin treatment works by creating a tightening effect, which promotes skin thickening. This results in a more youthful appearance by making fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable.
How PDO mono threading works
The treatment is a very customised procedure, during which your healthcare professional will work closely with you to achieve the best results possible. It is a minimally invasive procedure where the Matrix PDO threads are inserted into the upper skin with a tiny micro-needle or cannula.
The PDO filament threads which are used in this treatment are different from traditional barbed threads used in other treatments to lift tissue, as thread lift is not the key objective of mono threading. The threads used are designed to promote skin tightening. These threads are inserted into the skin in a mesh-like pattern to achieve maximum tightening effects. After entering the skin, the threads achieve collagen synthesis, which in turn leads to a gradual skin tightening and rejuvenation effect.
These skin tightening treatments can be used to rejuvenate collagen treating neck sagginess, forehead lines, and facial wrinkles. The threads can also add volume to the cheeks, and also become a support structure for the face.
The benefits of mono threading
Just about any skin area of the body can be treated through the use of mono threads. The most common areas in which people receive this treatment are the lines and creases of the face, jawline and neck. Other areas of the body which can be treated include the arms, legs, abdomen and buttocks.
The treatment can produce results for up to two years.
What to expect after mono threading treatment
The new collagen and skin thickening effect can last between 6 and 12 months after the treatment, and the absorbable polymer (PDO) threads used in the procedure are eventually metabolised in the skin at the 6-8 month mark, leaving no foreign materials in doing so.
New natural collagen production and skin thickening generally takes at least 12 weeks to be significant and to see skin changes.
The treatment does not require any stitches as it is not a procedure which requires incisions. There may be some bruising, redness and swelling/lumpiness in the first few days, but this will resolve quickly and makeup may be used again after the first or second day.
It is recommended to avoid any heat-based treatments such as laser, IPL, RF and focused ultrasound HIFU therapy in treatment areas for at least three months. These may dissolve the threads and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
How the mono threading in Sydney is tailored to you
The amount of time that the treatment takes is influenced by the area of the body which is receiving it, but generally it takes between 30-60 minutes to complete. The same applies for its price. There are also different levels of thickness and texture of the mono thread needles which are involved in the process.
It is generally a pain-free process, and the option of topical anaesthetic is also available to patients.
