The MINT PDO Thread Lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that is used to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. It involves the use of special dissolvable threads made of a material called PDO (polydioxanone), which are inserted into the skin using a fine needle. The threads are designed to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are two proteins that are essential for healthy, youthful-looking skin.
A MINT PDO Thread Lift is a non-surgical procedure, which means that it does not require incisions or general anesthesia. This makes it a safer and less invasive alternative to surgical facelifts, with minimal risk of scarring or complications.
MINT PDO threads have small barbs or hooks that immediately lift and tighten the skin, providing visible results right after the treatment. Over time, as the threads dissolve, the skin continues to tighten and firm.
The effects of a MINT PDO Thread Lift can last up to 18 months, as the threads stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which continue to improve the skin's appearance long after the treatment.
As we age, the effects of gravity become more noticeable on our faces, especially as our facial support structure weakens and we lose facial fat, bone, and collagen. A beautiful and healthy face has a “V-shape”. With the aging of tissues and the action of gravity, this “V-shape” diminishes or inverts. Areas generally affected are the eyebrows, areas around the eyes, the cheeks, nasiolabial folds, marionette lines, the jowls, and the neck. The result is a longer, more square-shaped and older-looking face. – something nobody wants!
The idea behind a MINT PDO Thread Lift is to create internal “scaffolding” to support the tissues and keep them in their ideal “V-shape.” Although traditional face lift surgery is a way to address sagging skin, it also carries with it high cost and extensive downtime and does not ultimately improve the quality of the skin.
The MINT PDO Thread Lift is the perfect solution for both men and women with mild to moderate skin laxity and sagging skin. During the thread lift procedure, the threads are inserted underneath the skin’s surface and are anchored into the tissue to instantly lift and tighten the skin. While the sutures are underneath the skin, the skin’s repair mechanism is triggered and new collagen is formed, leading to thicker, healthier skin and longer-lasting result.

A MINT PDO Thread Lift involves inserting dissolvable threads into the skin using a fine needle. These threads have small barbs or hooks that grab onto the skin tissue and lift it, providing an immediate lifting effect. Over time, the threads dissolve, but the effects of the treatment continue as the body produces more collagen and elastin, resulting in further skin tightening and firming.
The procedure typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of treatment.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so patients may experience some discomfort or mild pain during the procedure. However, most patients report that the procedure is tolerable, and any pain or discomfort subsides shortly after the treatment.
Most patients only require one treatment to achieve the desired results. However, some patients may require additional treatments, depending on the extent of the treatment and their individual needs.
