Mono Threads
It's completely normal to notice that the skin on your face gradually sags as you age. The supportive tissue becomes weak, and the fatty tissue dwindles, resulting in less-than-ideal drooping along the areas of your face that used to be firm. Mono Threads are fine threads made of an absorbable material called polydioxanone.
Mono Threads help in the production of Collagen. Collagen is a protein that helps make up the supportive tissues of your skin, bones, and muscles and promotes strength and elasticity. But as you age, collagen decreases, contributing to the skin's sagging. Your body slowly breaks [the threads] down and leaves a trail of collagen in its place. Although effective in the stimulation of collagen production and synthesis, mono threads are generally effective removing fine lines, tightening of the skin but not lifting.
You will receive a face to face consultation. This is where we’d discuss your concerns and what you’d like your outcomes to be. The Mono threads are inserted using a very fine needle. Once inserted into the appropriate layer of skin, the needle is removed leaving the thread in place under the skin. Mono threads are inserted into the subdermal layer of the skin in a mesh-like pattern which results in an increase in collagen production in the skin.
Because Mono threads are so versatile, it can treat many areas.

Typically results are seen within 4-6 weeks of the treatment, and they will continue to improve in the following 2-6 months as more collagen is produced. Results often last for between 6-12 months, but this depends on several factors and differs between each individual. A follow up at 12 weeks is recommended to assess the initial results and perform a second treatment is required. The results will continue to improve in the months following the procedure.
