PDO Mono Threads differ from the PDO Thread Lift, which has long barbed threads to lift tissues. However, they can still provide an improvement of fine lines and wrinkles by gradually stimulating your own natural collagen.
PDO Mono threads are short biodegradable filaments coated in a stimulatory material (PDO – polydioxanone).
PDO Mono Threads or short threads are designed to perform a revitalisation skin treatment, the treatment is beneficial for skin tightening, skin thickening and for globally stimulating collagen improving skin texture thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Increased collagen & elastin is essential for firming and smoothing fine lines, wrinkles and 'crepey' skin on the face, neck and body.
The procedure consists of introducing multiple very gentle threads in an area with 2 actions in mind: a nice initial gentle tightening and a secondary improvement a few months later when the threads are replaced by collagen strands.

Does Plasma treatment hurt?Plasma pen treatment is uncomfortable. We recommend you come to your appointment pre-numbed with a topical numbing cream.
