At La Belle Clinic, we believe rejuvenation is not about changing how you look, but about supporting the structural integrity your skin once had. As we age, the “scaffolding” of the face, collagen and elastin, naturally weakens. If you’ve noticed your skin losing its “bounce” or early signs of laxity, PDO Mono Threads offer a non-surgical option to help support that foundation.
Often referred to as “collagen stimulators,” these threads are popular among those seeking a refreshed, natural appearance without the volume of fillers or the intensity of surgery.
We’re proud to offer PDO Mono Threads treatment with a focus on medical-grade quality and client safety. By combining the precision of our experienced practitioners with MINT brand thread technology, we aim to provide a considered approach to skin firming and collagen stimulation.
When you choose La Belle Clinic, you’re choosing a team focused on delivering natural, refined results in a clinical environment that prioritises your wellbeing.
A mono PDO thread is a smooth, fine filament made of Polydioxanone (PDO), a medical-grade, dissolvable material that has been used in cardiovascular and orthopaedic surgery for decades. Unlike “lifting” threads with barbs that pull the skin, mono threads are smooth and placed in a mesh-like pattern under the skin.
Think of them as “bio-stimulators.” Once inserted, they act as a support structure, prompting the body to produce fresh collagen and elastin. Over time, the threads gradually dissolve, leaving behind a network of natural collagen that helps support firmer, smoother skin.

MINT threads are manufactured using a unique moulding process that ensures high tensile strength and durability.
MINT threads offer peace of mind with a long history of safety and minimal tissue reaction.
They are designed to integrate seamlessly with your tissue, providing more consistent and predictable collagen production.
While the threads themselves dissolve in about 6 months, the "MINT-grade" collagen they stimulate can keep your skin looking firm for up to twelve months or longer.
When looking for PDO mono threads in Melbourne, it’s important to choose a clinic that prioritises both safety and artistry. At La Belle Clinic, our practitioners are experienced in facial anatomy, aiming to place each thread at an appropriate depth to support collagen stimulation. We provide aesthetic care tailored to your specific skin concerns.
At La Belle Clinic we use MINT (Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Thread) brand threads. MINT is recognised for its safety standards and quality, and the threads are Australian TGA-registered.
MINT PDO Threads are highly effective for the following:
At La Belle Clinic, we use high-quality numbing agents to make the process very tolerable. Most clients find the treatment much more comfortable than they anticipated, often describing it as a minor “pinprick” sensation.
The PDO threads dissolve within 6 months, but the new collagen can last 12 to 18 months. Maintenance treatments are usually recommended annually.
Absolutely. Many of the PDO mono threads clients at La Belle Clinic combine this service with anti-wrinkle injections or dermal fillers for a comprehensive, non-surgical “liquid facelift.”
Some side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or small bruising at the insertion sites. These are temporary and will resolve on their own in 3 to 7 days.
You may notice a subtle effect immediately due to plumping, with the collagen-stimulation process developing from around 6 weeks. Best results are typically seen at 3 to 6 months as new collagen forms.
