PLLA Mono Threads are a non-surgical treatment designed to lift, firm, and rejuvenate the skin. These threads stimulate collagen production, improve elasticity, and enhance skin texture, helping achieve a natural, youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
What are PLLA Mono Threads?
PLLA Mono Threads are smooth, absorbable threads made from Poly-L-Lactic Acid that are placed into the skin to stimulate natural collagen production. They improve skin firmness, texture, and elasticity over time without adding volume or creating a lifting effect.
When will I see results?
Results develop gradually. Some clients notice early skin tightening within a few weeks, with optimal results appearing over 8–12 weeks as collagen production increases. Improvements can continue for several months.
How long do the results last?
Although the threads dissolve naturally, the collagen they stimulate can last 12–24 months, depending on individual skin quality, age, and lifestyle factors.
Is the treatment painful and is there downtime?
The procedure is minimally invasive and usually well tolerated. A topical or local anesthetic is used for comfort. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but typically resolves within a few days, allowing most clients to return to normal activities quickly.
Who is an ideal candidate for PLLA Mono Threads?
This treatment is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who want natural-looking rejuvenation, improved skin quality, and long-term collagen stimulation without surgery or dermal fillers.
