Mono Threads Treatment in Sompting, Worthing – Diana Aesthetics
Mono Threads, also known as PDO rejuvenation threads, are a non-surgical skin tightening treatment designed to improve firmness, elasticity, and texture.
They are smooth, dissolvable sutures made from polydioxanone (PDO) — the same safe, biocompatible material used in medical stitches.
Unlike lifting threads that reposition facial tissues, Mono Threads focus on collagen stimulation. Once inserted under the skin, they trigger the body’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen and elastin formation. Over time, this strengthens and tightens the skin from within, improving tone and reducing fine lines and mild sagging.

After a consultation and skin assessment, the area is cleansed, and a topical or local anaesthetic is applied for comfort.
Fine, smooth threads are then inserted just beneath the surface of the skin using a very thin needle or cannula.
The threads form a supportive mesh structure that gradually stimulates collagen as they dissolve.
The treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes.
Clients may notice subtle tightening immediately, with full improvement developing gradually over 8 to 12 weeks as new collagen forms. Results last around 12 to 18 months, depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle.
- PDO threads have been safely used in medical sutures for over 30 years.
- Mono Threads dissolve naturally in about six months while continuing to stimulate collagen long after.
- The treatment can be performed during a lunch break with minimal downtime.
- Over 20–30 threads may be used in one session to create a collagen-boosting network under the skin.
- Results are subtle and natural, enhancing the skin’s own regenerative ability rather than changing facial structure.
Proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing and collagen stimulation.
Immediately After Treatment (First 24 Hours)
- Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated area.
- Do not apply makeup, moisturiser, or skincare products for at least 12 hours.
- Keep the area clean and dry.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking as they may slow healing.
- Do not exercise, swim, or use saunas and steam rooms.
- Sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated to avoid pressure.
- If mild swelling or discomfort occurs, apply a cold compress gently for short periods.
First Few Days (Days 1 to 3)
- Mild redness, swelling, or small bruises may occur and usually resolve within a few days.
- Avoid exaggerated facial expressions, yawning widely, or chewing hard foods for the first two days.
- Do not rub or massage the treated area.
- Refrain from dental treatments, facials, or laser sessions for one week.
- Avoid direct sunlight, hot showers, and high temperatures.
- Drink plenty of water and keep hydrated to support collagen formation.
First Week (Days 4 to 7)
- The skin may feel tight or tender — this is normal and temporary.
- You may resume gentle cleansing and light skincare products.
- Avoid strong exfoliants, retinol, or active ingredients.
- Continue to sleep on your back if possible.
- Protect your skin daily with SPF 30 or higher.
Two to Four Weeks After Treatment

- Avoid any additional facial treatments or injections in the treated area until your practitioner advises (usually after four weeks).
- You can resume all normal skincare and activities once the skin has fully settled.
- Results continue to improve for up to three months.
What to Expect During Healing
- Slight swelling, redness, or mild bruising are normal and resolve quickly.
- Small bumps at insertion sites may be visible for a few days and flatten naturally.
- Some clients may feel a light tingling or pulling sensation as threads settle — this is temporary.
- Final results are gradual and natural-looking as new collagen forms over time.

- Persistent redness, swelling, or pain lasting more than 3 days
