What Is the MINT PDO Thread Lift?
MINT stands for Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread, a revolutionary approach to skin lifting and tightening. This advanced treatment uses dissolvable threads made from polydioxanone (PDO.)
Doctors have used this material for decades during surgery, and it has a long history of safe use.
When precisely placed beneath the skin, PDO threads can provide an immediate lift in the skin above. In addition, they promote long-term collagen production. As the threads gradually dissolve over time, your body builds new collagen to take its place.
MINT PDO threads are unique because of their 360-degree helical barbs, designed to offer optimal lifting power while maintaining the integrity of the threads. The treatment is the first of its kind with triple FDA clearances, making it a remarkably safe and reliable option for facial rejuvenation.
Treatable Concerns with PDO Threads
A MINT PDO thread lift can address a variety of aesthetic concerns, including:
- Eyebrows: Reducing hooding and improving symmetry.
- Cheeks: Lifting sagging skin and defining cheekbones.
- Jawline: Tightening and defining the jawline, reducing drooping in jowls.
- Nasolabial Folds: Reducing smile lines and restoring volume.
- Neck: Lessening skin laxity and reducing the appearance of lines.
We can address multiple areas during one office visit. The number of threads you need depends on the number of treatment areas.
Patients considering a surgical facelift may find that a MINT thread lift can offer similar results without general anesthesia and prolonged downtime.
PDO Thread Lift Results
We perform thread lifts under local anesthesia here in the office. You can return home that day, and most patients resume regular activities within a day.
Results are visible immediately, and optimal improvements appear around a month post-treatment. Most patients enjoy their rejuvenated look for up to a year, with minimal downtime required after treatment.
