If you’re noticing your skin starting to lose firmness or fine lines appearing around your cheeks, jawline, or neck, PDO Mono Threads might be exactly what your skin needs. These smooth, absorbable threads are a gentle way to tighten, tone, and rejuvenate the skin—without surgery or major downtime.
What Are PDO Mono Threads?
PDO Mono Threads are fine sutures made of polydioxanone (PDO)—a safe, medical-grade material long used in surgical stitches. Once inserted beneath the skin, these threads stimulate collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.
Unlike lifting threads that reposition tissue, Mono Threads focus on skin rejuvenation—creating a smoother, tighter, and more radiant complexion without changing your natural contours.
How PDO Mono Threads Work
As the threads dissolve over the next several months, your body naturally responds by building new collagen around them. This process strengthens the skin from within, improving firmness, elasticity, and overall tone.
Most patients begin to see visible results within 6–12 weeks, with improvements continuing for up to 12–18 months as collagen continues to remodel the skin.
Common treatment areas include:
• Fine lines around the cheeks and mouth
• Crepey or lax skin on the neck and chest
• Under-eye hollowness or sagging
• Jawline definition
• Forehead and smile lines
What to Expect During Treatment
At Wellness IV Bar in Tampa, your treatment begins with a personalized consultation with Nurse Practitioner Diane Genne, APRN. After discussing your skin goals, a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
The threads are then carefully placed using a fine needle or cannula in targeted areas to stimulate collagen where it’s needed most. Most treatments take less than an hour, and clients can resume regular activities the same day.
You may experience mild redness or swelling for a day or two, but downtime is minimal—and the results continue to improve over time.
Combine PDO Threads With Other Treatments
PDO Mono Threads can be combined with other rejuvenation treatments offered at Wellness IV Bar to maximize your glow and firmness. Popular combinations include:
• CoolPeel CO₂ laser – to refine texture and tone
• PRP Microneedling – to boost collagen and skin radiance
• RHA® or Sculptra® Fillers – for subtle volume and contouring
• Dysport or Botox® – for wrinkle prevention and smoothing
When these treatments are customized together, they help you achieve comprehensive, natural-looking rejuvenation from the inside out.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
PDO Mono Threads are ideal for men and women who want firmer, younger-looking skin without invasive procedures.
You may be a good candidate if you:
• Have mild to moderate skin laxity
• Want to improve texture, tone, or fine lines
• Prefer a natural look with gradual improvement
• Want to prevent early signs of aging
For those with more pronounced sagging, combining Mono Threads with PDO lifting threads may deliver the best results.
Results That Look Natural
Because the rejuvenation happens gradually as collagen rebuilds, your results look refreshed—not “overdone.” With annual maintenance, most clients enjoy long-lasting improvements in skin texture and firmness.
