PDO MONO THREADS
Unlock the secret to revitalised skin with Mel Hornery Cosmetics' PDO Mono Threads. This innovative, minimally invasive treatment harnesses the power of polydioxanone (PDO) threads to rejuvenate the skin by promoting natural collagen production, tightening the skin, and improving overall skin texture. In just 30 minutes, PDO threads treatments can effectively target areas like nasolabial folds and marionette lines, helping to reduce their appearance. After applying a topical anaesthetic to the treatment area for your comfort, the threads work beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion. Whether you’re looking to enhance skin rejuvenation or address specific concerns, this treatment offers a customised solution that leaves you with a naturally radiant glow.
