How it Works
Dr. Hooi is a recognised expert and trainer for MINT PDO threads and regularly conducts workshops and masterclasses on specific PDO thread techniques.
At Dolce Vita Skin, we use two basic types of PDO threads - monos and cogs.
Monofilament threads (monos) are thin lengths of PDO (around as thick as a hair) The more PDO material in the thread, the more collagen stimulation we can expect. Mono threads are usually completely absorbed in about 6 months.
Cog threads are thicker lengths of PDO. These threads have little cogs on them that engage the skin and can lift up the sagging skin of the cheek, jowl, or brow when the thread is pulled upwards. As they are stronger than mono threads, cogs can obtain more lifting and contouring. Cog threads are usually fully absorbed between 6 months to 9 months.
A PDO thread lift treatment plan can be created to help improve skin quality (smooths and rejuvenates) and tighten sagging skin on the face, neck and body (arms, abdomen and buttocks).
As a general guideline, we tailor the treatment plan according to individual goals. Cog threads are typically recommended when signs of sagging skin, like jowls, become evident, typically for patients in their 30s and beyond. On the other hand, mono threads are more appropriate for younger patients who haven't experienced sagging yet but aim to preserve their skin quality.
