MINT™ PDO Thread Lifts
Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Thread Lift Treatment
Thread Lifts are a popular and minimally-invasive treatment for areas such as the brow, face, neck, and even the nose. MINT™ PDO threads are a safe, absorbable suture developed in South Korea and used to provide natural-looking lifting and volumizing effects, depending on which threads are used and how they are placed in the face.The key to successful thread lift results is reserving use for good candidates, and proper planning and execution to achieve the desired effects.
During the treatment, absorbable sutures are inserted into strategically-selected areas of the face, in order to lift and tighten, and/or stimulate collagen production. The threads used for lifting have tiny barbs along the thread, which anchor the skin in its new, lifted position. Smooth threads, in contrast, can help with collagen production without a lifting effect.
The threads are temporary, and dissolve in about 6-8 months. The collagen production by your body during this time extends the duration of the lift’s results, and the degree of collagen production determines the ultimate duration of effect.

MINT PDO is FDA cleared in effective tissue approximation and is safe to use. It has been used in multiple clinical studies proving its efficacy and strong lifting effect to target sagging tissue.
MINT PDO is a highly effective treatment for redistributing sagging volume from unwanted areas to a more ideal area for a youthful look. It has patented 360° molding technology, allowing the helically molded barbs to have higher tensile strength and strong anchoring ability.
MINT 3D lifting PDO threads are barbed and highly effective in lifting:
MINT mono PDO are smooth treads that promote collagen and can fill fine lines in the forehead, midface, upper lip, nasolabial folds, neck, and body for a rejuvenated look.

During your consultation, Dr. Anita will take time to learn about your concerns and aesthetic goals, and discuss treatment options in detail, including the benefits and limitations of thread lifts. She will go through your medical history and perform a physical exam to determine the best plan to reach your goals and make sure you are a good candidate for the treatment.
The areas to be treated will be reviewed and marked on the skin, and you will have the opportunity to go over any additional questions you may have prior to the treatment.
Avoiding exaggerated movements of the treated areas is critical to the success of the threads healing properly. Keep all thread entry points clean during the healing process.
There are many causes that contribute to wrinkles and sagging skin. These include decreased collagen and elastin production due to aging, exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, lessened production of natural skin oils, reduction of fat and skin volume, and smoking.
There are a number of non-surgical treatments used to tighten facial and neck skin, including thread lifts, laser skin tightening, and high-intensity focused ultrasound facelifts.
Jowls can be treated with thread lifts, laser treatments, fillers, and other procedures. Dr. Anita can discuss suitable treatment options during your consultation.
A non-surgical facelift is used to reposition and tighten sagging skin on the face without surgical intervention. These less invasive procedures require less downtime and come with fewer risks and side effects.
A Mint PDO thread lift is a popular and minimally-invasive lifting treatment using safe, absorbable sutures developed in South Korea. It is commonly used to provide natural-looking lifting and volumizing effects for areas such as the brow, face, and neck.

A thread lift will last for 1-2 years. The threads remain in place for 6-9 months before beginning to safely dissolve. Increased collagen production during the dissolving process extends the duration of the lift’s results.
The threads absorb in about 6 months, then safely dissolve, though the lifting and volumizing effects last longer.
