Matrix PDO Mono Threads Treatment in Melbourne CBD | Australian Laser & Skin Clinics

Matrix PDO Mono Threads

Matrix PDO Threads are the latest TGA approved, non-surgical, cosmetic treatment to gain popularity Australia wide!
Matrix PDO Threads are the advanced secret to facial rejuvenation – inducing the production of collagen and creating a tightening effect for 6 to 12 months after your procedure. The threads become a support structure for your face, allowing natural collagen production to take place!

This treatment is a safe, non-surgical solution for tightening and thickening your skin. Mono Threads differ from thread lifts which use long barbed threads to lift tissues, however they can still provide an improvement of fine lines and wrinkles by gradually stimulating natural collagen production.

How Do These Matrix PDO Threads Work?

Matrix Mono Threads

Mono 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 6 to 12 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. Matrix Mono Threads come in a variety of textures.

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. Following a topical anaesthetic, Matrix PDO Threads will be inserted using a micro-needle or cannula.

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 sagging, forehead lines, and facial wrinkles. The threads can also add volume to the cheeks and an average of 10 to 30 Matrix Mono Threads is typically used for each individual treatment area.

The procedure will be conducted by one of our fully trained ALS medical professionals and typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes.

Matrix Double Screw Threads

Australian Laser & Skin also offer Matrix Double Screw treatments. Matrix Screw Threads have 1–2 intertwined threads which provide volume to the treated area. We recommend this treatment for patients who only desire skin tightening and rejuvenation.

Why Use Matrix Mono Threads?

These skin tightening treatments have become a widely popular option for rejuvenating collagen treating neck sagging, forehead lines, and facial wrinkles. The threads can also add volume to the cheeks. An average of 10 to 30 Matrix Mono Threads is typically used for each individual treatment area.

The treatment is a very customized procedure, and your ALS healthcare professional will work closely with you in order to achieve optimal results. It’s also worth noting is that Matrix PDO Thread treatments don’t involve any sort of incision, meaning stitches are not required.
