A PDO Thread Lift is a treatment that lifts and tightens sagging skin tissues using threads made of polydioxanone. The lifting thread is introduced deep into the layer of the skin and produces three effects:

 

• Instant skin lifting through mechanical effects,

• Cellular renewal through collagen stimulation and neovascularization improves texture, fine lines, and wrinkles.

• Skin tightening by approximating tissues.

​

Threads disappear through hydrolysis after six months. However, the lifted facial contours can remain for up to two years due to cellular rejuvenation effects. PDO thread treatments are safe, and there are very few side effects.

​

For the most optimal results, the ideal candidate should have a skin layer that is not too thin or too thick and not extremely uneven. The skin should be thin enough so MINT™ PDO can make a visible difference and thick enough, so the threads are not too close to the surface of the skin. One way to check before a consultation with your provider is to lie down on your back and see if you like the way your face looks, as it can be a good indicator of how effective MINT™ PDO can be. Lastly, please consult with the physician if you are an optimal candidate for MINT™ Procedure
