Stimulate Collagen Production and Combat the Signs of Ageing.
Thread Lift is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment designed to lift and tighten your skin. This procedure stimulates collagen production, targeting sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles, helping to restore a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Thread Lift consultations and treatments are provided by Dr Danushi and registered nurses, who will assess your aesthetic goals and create a tailored treatment plan just for you.
How it Works
Thread Lift (Also known as PDO Mono Threads) work by gently and effectively stimulating collagen production beneath the skin’s surface. Our aesthetic team insert fine, absorbable threads into the skin at strategic points. These threads create a natural support structure for the skin, triggering the body’s healing response and promoting collagen formation. Over time, the threads are naturally absorbed by the body, leaving behind a firmer, more youthful appearance.
This minimally invasive treatment helps to lift and tighten areas like the face, neck, and décolletage, without the need for surgery. PDO Mono Threads are suitable for a wide range of skin types and genders, with minimal downtime and gradual, long-lasting results.

What to Expect
Before your treatment at Dr. D Cosmetics, our aesthetic team will guide you through a detailed consultation to understand your aesthetic goals and provide a personalised plan.
Before Treatment
To ensure maximum comfort, a topical anaesthetic is applied to the treatment areas, making the procedure as smooth and painless as possible.
During Treatment
PDO Mono Threads are gently inserted into the skin using fine needles. The threads work by stimulating collagen production and providing a subtle lift to sagging skin. This process helps restore firmness and support to the underlying facial structure. The treatment typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being targeted.
After Treatment
Following your PDO Mono Thread procedure, you might experience some minor swelling or bruising, which is a normal part of the healing process. These effects generally subside within a few days. You’ll notice gradual improvements as the threads stimulate collagen production, with full results becoming visible over the next few months.
For best results, we recommend an initial course of treatment, followed by regular maintenance sessions as needed to sustain the benefits.
You will be provides with post-care instructions to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome, leaving your skin looking naturally refreshed and rejuvenated.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are PDO Mono Threads?
PDO Mono Threads are non-surgical, minimally invasive threads made from Polydioxanone (PDO). They are used to lift and tighten sagging skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin texture. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, leaving behind firmer, rejuvenated skin.
How do PDO Mono Threads work?
PDO Mono Threads are carefully inserted into the skin using a fine needle. The threads stimulate collagen production as they gradually dissolve over several months. This collagen boost helps to firm and tighten the skin, giving a natural lift and rejuvenation.
What areas can be treated with PDO Mono Threads?
PDO Mono Threads can be used on various areas of the face and body, including:
- Face: cheeks, jawline, neck, and around the eyes.
- Body: décolletage, arms, and abdomen.
- They are especially effective in treating areas with mild to moderate sagging.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure involves minimal discomfort as a local anaesthetic is applied to numb the treatment area. Most patients report feeling a slight pressure or tugging sensation during the procedure but not significant pain.
How long does the treatment take?
The PDO Mono Thread procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. It’s a relatively quick, in-clinic treatment.
What is the downtime after treatment?
Downtime is minimal. Some patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness, which usually subsides within a few days. You can resume most of your regular activities immediately after the treatment, but it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for a few days.
How long do the results last?
Results can last from 6 to 12 months, depending on factors such as the patient’s skin condition, age, and lifestyle. The threads dissolve within a few months, but the collagen stimulation they trigger provides long-lasting skin rejuvenation.
How do PDO Mono Threads differ from other thread lifts?
PDO Mono Threads primarily focus on collagen stimulation and skin texture improvement, while other thread lifts, such as those using barbed threads, are designed for more dramatic lifting. PDO Mono Threads are best for individuals seeking subtle, natural-looking results.
When will I see results?
While some initial tightening may be noticeable immediately after the procedure, the full results typically develop over the following 2-3 months as collagen production increases.
Suitability
Are PDO Mono Threads safe?
Yes, PDO Mono Threads are safe and have been used in cosmetic procedures for many years. They are made from a biocompatible material that naturally dissolves in the body.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects include minor swelling, bruising, or redness at the insertion points. These effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days. Serious complications are rare but may include infection or thread migration, which is why it’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions closely.
Medical Conditions
Am I a good candidate for PDO Mono Threads?
PDO Mono Threads are suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity looking for a non-surgical solution. Ideal candidates are generally in good health and have realistic expectations for the outcome. A consultation with Dr. Danushi will determine if this treatment is right for you.
Post Care
What aftercare is required?
After your PDO Mono Thread treatment, it is important to:
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 48 hours.
- Refrain from strenuous exercise, hot baths, saunas, and excessive facial movements for a few days.
- Follow all post-care instructions provided by Dr. Danushi to ensure optimal healing and results.
