pdo threads
Mono Threads are a method of tightening and thickening your skin. They differ from thread lifts which use long barbed threads to lift tissues, however they can provide an improvement in skin quality by gradually stimulating natural collagen production.
ABOUT matrix PDO threads
PDO Threads are made from a material called Polydioxanone which is an absorbable polymer that is flexible and durable. Matrix PDO Threads induce production of collagen, creating a tightening effect for 12-24 months after your procedure.
The threads become a support structure for your face, allowing natural collagen production to take place. Over time the PDO will be fully absorbed by the body.
ABOUT matrix MONO threads
Matrix Mono Threads are a type of single PDO filament. These threads are smooth and made without barbs which are minimally invasive.
Many times, Matrix Mono Threads are inserted into the skin in a mesh-like pattern to achieve maximum tightening effects. After entering the skin, the threads activate collagen synthesis for a gradual skin tightening and skin rejuvenation effect.
While Matrix Mono Threads tighten the skin, they do not significantly lift it. These skin tightening treatments can be used to rejuvenate collagen treating neck laxity, wrinkles and crepey skin.
