Mono threads are advanced cosmetic treatments designed to lift and tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production and providing structural support to the skin's underlying tissues. Using specialised threads made of biodegradable materials such as polydioxanone (PDO), mono threads are inserted into the skin through fine needles to address concerns like sagging, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. As the threads gradually dissolve, they encourage the body's natural healing processes, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. This non-surgical procedure is ideal for individuals seeking to achieve subtle lifting effects with minimal downtime.

Who can have a Mono Threads Treatment?

​

Mono Threads treatments are suitable for individuals looking to improve skin firmness, stimulate collagen production, and achieve a subtle lift in areas of sagging skin. This treatment is beneficial for a wide range of people who want to tighten and rejuvenate their skin without undergoing invasive procedures.

​

Skin Type:

Mono Threads are appropriate for most skin types, including normal, dry, oily, and combination skin. However, individuals with certain skin conditions, such as active infections, acne, or severe inflammation, may not be suitable candidates for this treatment. Always consult with your healthcare provider to determine if Mono Threads are right for your skin.

​

Age:

Mono Threads treatments can be effective for individuals of various ages, especially those experiencing early signs of aging, such as skin laxity, fine lines, or loss of volume. It is often sought after by individuals in their 30s and beyond, but younger individuals may also benefit as a preventive measure or to address specific skin concerns.

​

Skin Concerns:

Mono Threads are particularly effective for individuals with concerns related to skin laxity, sagging, or loss of elasticity. If you wish to address mild to moderate sagging in areas such as the neck, jawline, cheeks, or other parts of the body, Mono Threads can provide a subtle, natural lift and improve overall skin texture.

​

Medical History:

Before undergoing a Mono Threads treatment, it is essential to disclose your full medical history to your healthcare provider. Certain medical conditions, allergies, or medications may affect your suitability for the procedure. This will help ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.

Expectations:

It's important to have realistic expectations for the results of Mono Threads treatments. While they can provide a noticeable lift and improve skin firmness and texture, individual results may vary. The procedure offers gradual improvements over time as collagen production is stimulated, and multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve the desired results.

​

How often should I have a Mono Threads Treatment?

​

The results of Mono Threads can last several months as collagen continues to regenerate in the treated areas. Most clients notice improvements within a few weeks, but the full effect may be visible after 2-3 months. To maintain and enhance results, it is recommended to repeat the treatment every 6-12 months, depending on individual needs and desired outcomes. Your provider will tailor a treatment plan suited to your goals and skin condition.

Aftercare 

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery following your Mono Threads treatment. Follow these guidelines to help protect your skin and promote healing:

First 24 Hours:

- Avoid washing your face or applying any moisturizers, creams, or makeup to the treated areas. This allows the skin to heal and the threads to settle into place properly.

12-72 Hours Post-Treatment:

- After the first 12 hours, mineral makeup can be applied if necessary, but it’s crucial to use a gentle cleanser and continue applying an SPF to protect your skin from sun exposure.
- A chemical-free sunscreen is highly recommended to minimize irritation and protect the treated areas.

48-72 Hours Post-Treatment:

- You may return to your regular skincare routine after 48-72 hours, but for optimal results, incorporating retinol products into your regimen is suggested as they can help improve skin texture and support collagen production.

Avoid the Following for 10-14 Days:

- Refrain from using alcohol-based toners and products that could irritate the skin.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure for at least 10 days to protect your skin from damage and potential pigmentation changes.

3 Days Post-Treatment:

- DO NOT use any skincare products containing Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in low pH formulas), or any other "active" ingredients that may cause irritation in the treated area.

1 Week Post-Treatment:

- Avoid saunas, baths, swimming, and other activities that involve excessive heat or moisture, as these can interfere with the healing process.
- Steer clear of scrubs, exfoliators, or other abrasive treatments to prevent irritation.

Strenuous Activities:

- Limit strenuous exercise for 1-2 days post-treatment. Gentle activities are fine, but intense workouts should be avoided to allow your skin to recover and ensure the threads stay in place.

By following these aftercare guidelines, you’ll help ensure a smooth recovery and long-lasting results from your Mono Threads treatment.
