PDO Thread Lift in Edinburgh
What Are Mono PDO Threads and How Do They Work?
Mono PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are smooth, dissolvable threads used primarily for skin tightening, collagen stimulation, and rejuvenation rather than lifting. These threads are inserted into the skin in a mesh-like pattern to create a natural collagen framework that tightens and strengthens the skin over time. Unlike barbed threads used for lifting, Mono PDO threads work by promoting collagen production, making them ideal for skin revitalization and texture improvement.
Areas Treated
Mono PDO threads are versatile and can be used in various areas for skin tightening and rejuvenation, including:
- Forehead and brows
- Cheeks
- Jawline
- Around lips
- Neck & Underchin
- Under-eye area
- Decolletage
- Abdomen
Benefits
Gradual, Natural Results
Results appear naturally as collagen builds, creating a refreshed, youthful look over time.
Enhanced Skin Texture
Mono threads stimulate collagen production, improving skin firmness, texture, and elasticity.
Minimally Invasive with Little Downtime
Provides skin tightening benefits without surgery or extensive recovery time.
How Soon You’ll See Effects and How Long They Will Last
Initial improvements in skin texture and firmness can be observed within a few weeks, with optimal collagen-boosting results appearing over 2-3 months. Mono PDO thread results typically last between 6-12 months, depending on skin type, age, and lifestyle factors.
What to Expect During the PDO Threads Treatment (Procedure)
A Mono PDO thread treatment generally takes around 30-45 minutes. After the treatment area is cleansed, a numbing agent may be applied for comfort. The Mono threads are then inserted just under the skin using a fine needle or cannula in a strategic pattern to promote collagen growth. You may feel slight pressure or pulling, but the procedure is usually well tolerated with minimal discomfort.
Potential Side Effects of PDO Threads
While PDO Threads are generally considered safe, some potential side effects may occur, including:
- Mild bruising or swelling at the insertion points
- Temporary redness or tenderness
- Minor dimpling or pulling sensation, which generally resolves within days
Significant complications are rare but may include infection or visible thread impressions, which usually self-correct over time.
Before & Aftercare
Before Treatment
- Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and anti-inflammatory drugs for 3-5 days before the procedure.
- Discontinue retinoids and skin-irritating products one week prior.
- Refrain from high-intensity exercise on the day of the treatment.
After Treatment
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for the first 24-48 hours.
- Sleep on your back with your head elevated for a few nights to minimize pressure on the area.
- Avoid strenuous activities, saunas, and steam rooms for about a week.

- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Experiencing active infections, inflammation, or skin lesions in the treatment area
- Living with autoimmune conditions or connective tissue diseases
