Subtle support. Natural definition. A refreshed version of you.
PDO thread treatments offer a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation using absorbable threads placed beneath the skin. Depending on the thread type and treatment technique, PDO threads can provide subtle support and lifting while also encouraging collagen production around the treated area. The result is a fresher, firmer and more defined appearance without surgery.
At Mira Story Aesthetics, PDO thread treatment is always personalised to your anatomy, skin quality and goals. We may use MINT Mono Threads primarily to stimulate collagen and improve skin firmness, while lifting threads can be positioned to provide additional support and definition where appropriate. Whether your concern is facial ageing, jawline definition or neck laxity, your clinician will create a considered treatment plan designed to enhance rather than change your natural features.

PDO threads can be used in different ways depending on your individual concerns. Your clinician will assess your face and neck before recommending the most appropriate thread type, placement and treatment plan.
Small Adjustments, Thoughtfully Done
Face Rejuvenation
Designed to improve the overall appearance of facial skin quality, firmness and mild laxity. MINT Mono Threads can be used to stimulate collagen and support a smoother, more rejuvenated complexion.
Jawline Definition
A targeted approach for clients looking to improve lower-face definition and soften the appearance of mild jowls. Carefully positioned PDO threads can provide support while enhancing the appearance of the natural jawline.
Neck Rejuvenation
PDO threads can be used to support the appearance of mild neck laxity and improve skin firmness and quality. Treatment is carefully tailored to the delicate anatomy of the neck.
Your Treatment, Tailored to You
PDO thread treatment is highly individual. The number and type of threads required depends on your anatomy, skin quality, treatment area and desired outcome.
Treatment areas may include:
- Face Rejuvenation
- Jawline Definition
- Neck Rejuvenation
- MINT Mono Threads
Final pricing is confirmed at consultation based on the thread type, number of threads, treatment areas and individual treatment plan.
Precision Where It Matters.
PDO thread treatments can be highly versatile, but the result depends on careful patient selection, thread choice and precise placement. Different threads serve different purposes – some are designed to provide mechanical support and lifting, while smooth mono threads are primarily used to stimulate collagen and improve skin quality.
At Mira Story Aesthetics, we don’t use a one-size-fits-all thread treatment. Your clinician studies your facial anatomy, skin quality and natural movement before deciding which approach is most appropriate. The aim is always a subtle, balanced result – whether we’re improving facial firmness, defining the jawline or rejuvenating the neck.
Your Patient Journey
Your Consultation
Every PDO thread treatment begins with a detailed assessment. Your clinician examines your facial structure, skin quality, degree of laxity and areas of concern before discussing your goals. We then determine whether lifting threads, MINT Mono Threads or a combination is appropriate for you.
Your Treatment
Following careful marking and treatment planning, the selected PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Thread placement is determined by the treatment area and desired outcome. Treatment time varies depending on the number of threads and areas being treated.
Your Aftercare
Some swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness or temporary asymmetry can occur following treatment. Your clinician will provide detailed aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, facial massage and pressure on the treated areas during the initial recovery period.
PDO Thread Treatments FAQ
What are PDO threads?
PDO threads are absorbable medical-grade threads placed beneath the skin for facial rejuvenation. Depending on the type used, they can provide subtle support and lifting while also stimulating collagen around the treated area.
Whatis the difference between lifting threads and MINT Mono Threads?
Lifting threads are designed with structures that allow them to grip tissue and provide mechanical support or lifting. MINT Mono Threads are smooth threads primarily used to stimulate collagen and improve skin firmness and quality rather than mechanically lifting the tissue.
What areas can PDO threads treat?
PDO threads can be used for selected areas of the face, jawline, and neck, depending on your anatomy and treatment goals. Your clinician will recommend the areas most appropriate for you.
Can PDO threads improve my jawline?
Yes. PDO threads can be used to support the appearance of the jawline and improve the definition of the lower face. They may also help soften the appearance of mild jowls.
Can PDO threads rejuvenate the neck?
They may be used to improve the appearance of mild neck laxity and support skin quality. The neck requires particularly careful assessment because of its delicate anatomy.
What are MINT MonoThreads used for?
MINT Mono Threads are smooth PDO threads primarily used for collagen stimulation. They can help improve the appearance of skin firmness, elasticity, texture, and mild laxity without creating the mechanical pulling effect associated with lifting threads.
Will PDO threads make my face look pulled?
The aim at Mira Story Aesthetics is a subtle, natural-looking result. Thread type, placement and quantity are carefully selected according to your facial anatomy to avoid an overcorrected appearance.
When will I see results?
An initial lifting effect may be visible immediately when lifting threads are used, although swelling can temporarily affect the result. Improvements in skin quality and collagen develop progressively over the following weeks and months.
How long do PDO thread results last?
Results vary depending on the thread type, treatment area, skin quality, lifestyle and individual response. Improvements can typically last several months to around 12–18 months or longer in some cases.
How many threads will I need?
There is no standard number. The number of threads required depends on your anatomy, treatment area, degree of laxity and desired result. Your clinician will determine the appropriate amount during consultation.
Is PDO thread treatment painful?
Local anaesthetic is used where appropriate to improve comfort. You may experience pressure, pulling or tenderness during and after treatment, but your comfort will be monitored throughout.
Is there any downtime?
There is some recovery associated with PDO threads. Swelling, bruising, tenderness and tightness can occur during the early recovery period. Your clinician will provide personalised aftercare instructions.
Can I exercise after PDO thread treatment?
You will generally be advised to avoid strenuous exercise during the early recovery period. Your clinician will tell you when it is appropriate to return to your normal exercise routine.
Can I have PDO threads in more than one area?
Potentially, yes. Depending on your individual treatment plan, PDO threads may be used across areas such as the face, jawline, and neck. Your clinician will determine whether treating multiple areas is appropriate.
Can PDO threads be combined with other aesthetic treatments?
Potentially, yes. PDO threads may form part of a wider facial rejuvenation plan, but treatment timing is important. Your clinician will advise on suitable combinations and when they can safely be performed.
Are there any risks?
As with any minimally invasive procedure, complications can occur. These may include swelling, bruising, infection, tenderness, asymmetry, dimpling, thread visibility or palpability, migration and other local reactions. Your clinician will discuss the potential risks and benefits before treatment.
Are PDO threads suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on your anatomy, skin quality, degree of laxity, expectations and individual circumstances. A consultation is required before treatment.
Are PDO thread results permanent?
No. PDO threads gradually dissolve and the natural ageing process continues. Maintenance treatments may be recommended where appropriate.
Is PDOthread treatment a replacement for a facelift?
No. PDO threads provide a non-surgical or minimally invasive approach to selected signs of facial ageing and are not equivalent to a surgical facelift. Clients with significant skin laxity may require a different treatment approach.
Is PDO thread treatment right for me?
If you’re looking for subtle lifting, improved definition, collagen stimulation or skin rejuvenation without surgery, PDO threads may be an option. Your clinician will assess your face and neck and recommend the most appropriate thread type and treatment plan for you.
