Why Choose Mono Threads for Scars?

• Non-invasive with little recovery time.
• Gradual improvements over months as collagen develops.
• Can be combined with treatments like microneedling or laser therapy for comprehensive results.

2. Enhancing Facial Contours (Sculpting)

Mono threads offer a non-surgical route to facial sculpting, helping define facial features like the jawline, cheeks, and chin.

Procedure Highlights

Lift and Define: Threads are strategically placed to create a lifting effect, accentuating facial contours. Collagen-Induced Firming: The natural regeneration process firms and tightens skin over time, adding volume in areas that may appear hollow or flat. Non-Surgical Precision: Achieve sharper jawlines and enhanced cheekbones without surgery.

Popular Treatment Areas

• Jawline:Refines the lower face by reducing sagging.
• Cheeks:Highlights the cheekbones for a more sculpted look.
• Nasolabial Folds:Softens deep smile lines.

3. Rejuvenating Aging Skin

Aging impacts skin elasticity, leading to wrinkles and sagging. Mono threads address these changes by improving skin texture and tone. Mechanism of Action

• Reducing Wrinkles:The threads smooth fine lines by lifting and tightening the skin.
• Skin Renewal:The collagen boost repairs and rejuvenates, improving firmness and elasticity.
• Preventive Care:Even younger patients can use mono threads to delay the onset of visible aging.

Target Areas

• Forehead:Reduces horizontal wrinkles and subtly lifts the brow area.
• Under Eyes:Tightens sagging skin and diminishes fine lines.
• Neck:Enhances the skin’s firmness for a youthful neckline.

Smile lines, also called nasolabial folds, are the creases that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They become more pronounced with age due to a combination of factors related to natural aging and lifestyle.

Causes of Smile Lines as We Age:

Reduced Collagen and Elastin Production:

With age, the skin generates less collagen and elastin—proteins that maintain firmness and elasticity. This decline results in sagging skin, making smile lines more visible.

Facial Expressions:

Frequent facial movements, like smiling or laughing, create grooves in the skin. Over time, as elasticity diminishes, these grooves become permanent features.

Loss of Facial Volume:

The fat pads in the cheeks shrink as we age, causing the skin to sag, which accentuates nasolabial folds.

Thinner, Drier Skin:

Aging causes the skin to thin and lose moisture, reducing its ability to "snap back" after movement, further highlighting smile lines.

Environmental and Lifestyle Factors:

Excess sun exposure, smoking, and inadequate skincare speed up collagen and elastin breakdown, leading to deeper folds.

Considerations and Potential Risks

Although generally safe, mono threads can occasionally cause minor side effects like redness, swelling, or mild discomfort. Rarely, complications like infection or asymmetry may arise. Always ensure the procedure is performed by a trained professional to achieve safe and satisfactory outcomes.

Why Mono Threads Are Not Recommended During Pregnancy

Mono threads, while effective for aesthetic treatments, are not advisable for individuals who are pregnant. Here’s why expecting mothers should avoid this procedure:

1. Limited Research on Safety

Currently, there is insufficient research to confirm how mono threads interact with the body during pregnancy. The lack of data makes it impossible to guarantee the procedure’s safety for both the mother and the developing baby.

2. Hormonal Sensitivity

During pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations can make the skin more reactive and sensitive. Even though mono threads are made of biocompatible materials, a pregnant woman’s heightened sensitivity may increase the risk of adverse reactions.

3. Risk of Complications

While mild swelling and bruising are common after mono thread procedures, these side effects could be more pronounced or lead to complications in pregn0ant women due to changes in blood flow and the immune response.

Who Else Should Avoid Mono Threads?

Apart from pregnant women, mono threads may not be suitable for:

• Individuals with Bleeding Disorders : Mono thread procedures can pose risks for those with clotting issues.
• People Taking Blood-Thinning Medications : These medications can increase the likelihood of excessive bruising or bleeding during the procedure .
• Individuals with Autoimmune Diseases : An overactive immune system may react unpredictably to the threads, increasing the chance of inflammation or rejection .
• Those Prone to Keloid Scarring : If you’re prone to raised or thickened scars, mono threads could exacerbate this condition .
• People Allergic to Dissolvable Sutures : Although rare, some individuals may have allergic reactions to the materials used in mono threads .

Other type of threads used in Aesthetic treatment are:
