PDO Threads
Naturally Tighten, Rejuvenate & Stimulate Collagen
PDO Threads are an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to naturally tighten, strengthen and improve the quality of your skin from within. Using ultra-fine dissolvable threads, this treatment stimulates your body’s own collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin firmness, texture and elasticity over the following weeks and months.
At Sol Cosmedics, we use Mono Threads and Screw Threads to achieve natural-looking skin rejuvenation without surgery. These threads are ideal for clients who want firmer, healthier-looking skin whilst maintaining a completely natural appearance.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are medical-grade dissolvable threads that have been safely used in medicine for many years.
Once placed beneath the skin, they create a healing response that encourages your body to produce new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Although the threads dissolve naturally over approximately 6 months, the collagen they stimulate can continue improving the skin for up to 12 months.
Unlike surgical procedures, PDO threads work with your body’s natural healing processes to create gradual, beautiful improvements.
Mono Threads
Mono Threads are smooth threads that improve skin quality and firmness.
They are perfect for:
- Fine lines
- Crepey skin
- Mild skin laxity
- Improving skin texture
- Preventing signs of ageing
- Overall skin rejuvenation
These are often used in larger numbers to create an invisible collagen support network beneath the skin.
Screw Threads
Screw Threads consist of one or two threads twisted together to provide additional volume and collagen stimulation.
They are ideal for:
- Areas needing extra support
- Hollow or thinning skin
- Deeper wrinkles
- Mild lifting effect
- Enhanced skin firmness
Screw threads provide slightly more structural support than mono threads whilst still producing very natural results.
Treatment Time
Most treatments take approximately:
30–60 minutes
This depends on the size and number of areas being treated.
Downtime
Most clients experience only minimal downtime.
You may experience:
- Mild swelling
- Tenderness
- Slight bruising
- Tightness for a few days
These effects normally settle within several days, although occasional bruising can last up to two weeks.
You should avoid strenuous exercise, excessive facial massage and saunas for around one week following treatment.
When Will I See Results?
Some tightening may be visible immediately.
However, the real results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen.
Most clients notice improvements between:
- 6–12 weeks
- Continued improvement for up to 6 months
Results typically last around 12–18 months, depending on age, lifestyle and skin quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are PDO Threads safe?
Yes. PDO threads have an excellent safety profile and have been used medically for many years. They naturally dissolve within the body.
Will I look different?
No. Mono and Screw Threads are designed to enhance your natural appearance rather than create an artificial or overfilled look.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients find the treatment very tolerable as local anaesthetic can be used before treatment begins.
Can PDO Threads be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. PDO Threads work exceptionally well alongside skin boosters, polynucleotides, anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers to create comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
