MINT™ PDO Thread Lift

As we age, vital proteins, such as collagen & elastin, which make up the supporting structure of the skin, are not produced as heavily as they were when we were younger. This contributes to sagging skin & wrinkles, including heavy nasolabial folds, deepened smile lines, jowls, and sunken cheeks.

MINT™, which stands for Minimally Invasive Non-surgical Thread is a procedure that can deliver natural results without invasive surgery. The threads are made from a complex sugar polydioxanone, or PDO, that is absorbable and designed to approximate and fixate sagging tissues. It’s a safe suture material that has been used in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgeries for over 30 years. The treatments involve minimal pain & downtime, and the results can be seen immediately.

Benefits of MINT™ PDO include:
- Long-lasting results
- Little risk of adverse reaction
- Little to no downtime
- Minimal to no scarring
- No incision
- Treats several areas of the face and body
- May be repeated as necessary
- Softens sagging, folding, or hollowing in the mid-face
- Softens jowls along the jawline
- Excellent alternative to surgical options

MINT™ PDO is also a great compliment procedure to other treatments such as lasers, PRP, injectables, Botox, Dysport, and fillers. The threads target sagging skin, and fillers can be utilized for deep lines - together they create an overall youthful appearance to the face, enhancing your natural beauty.

In most cases, the procedure can be done in an hour, and patients will see immediate results which can last up to 1 year. Please contact us for a consultation so we can determine if this procedure is a fit for your goals!
