Aesthetic Services
Mint PDO Threads are a physician-guided, minimally invasive treatment designed to provide immediate lifting support and may help stimulate collagen remodeling over time.
About Mint PDO Threads
Mint PDO Threads are absorbable threads placed in selected facial areas to provide support, contour, and a lifting effect.
They are designed for physician-guided office treatment, and the treatment plan is based on your anatomy, facial structure, healing considerations, and goals.
Technology
MINT PDO threads are made from polydioxanone, an absorbable material designed to be placed under the skin and gradually broken down by the body over time.
The threads can provide an immediate lifting effect by helping support tissue in a new position while the treatment area begins its healing response.
Common Treatment Areas
The treatment area is selected based on the type of support or contouring your provider is trying to achieve.
How Mint PDO Threads Work
The lift, comfort plan, and recovery instructions are tailored to your facial structure and treatment goals.
Goals, anatomy, skin quality, healing considerations, and candidacy are reviewed before a recommendation is made.
Thread direction, placement, and number are selected around facial structure and treatment goals.
Absorbable PDO threads are placed beneath the skin to help support tissue position.
As the body responds to the threads, collagen remodeling may support firmer-looking skin over time.
Treatment Journey
Your visit begins with a provider evaluation to discuss goals, facial anatomy, skin quality, and whether Mint PDO Threads are appropriate for you.
Your provider maps the treatment areas and determines the number, direction, and placement of threads based on your individualized treatment plan.
Comfort measures, including local anesthetic, may be used when appropriate to support a more comfortable office procedure experience.
The threads are placed beneath the skin in carefully selected positions to help create support and lift in the targeted area.
Some lift may be visible right away, though final results depend on anatomy, tissue response, and the treatment plan used.
Your provider may recommend follow-up care, activity guidance, and maintenance planning based on how your skin responds.
Benefits
Mint PDO Thread Lift may help support facial lifting and collagen remodeling while keeping treatment planning individualized.
May help create a subtle lifting effect in areas that have started to show mild to moderate laxity.
Can support more defined contours along the jawline when anatomy and provider evaluation make treatment appropriate.
May help provide lift and structure to the mid-face for patients who want a more refreshed appearance.
Can be considered for selected neck concerns when the treatment plan is based on anatomy and expected benefit.
As the threads are absorbed, they may help stimulate the skin's natural collagen response over time.
Treatment is planned to support a refreshed appearance while avoiding an overdone look whenever possible.
Most patients can return to routine activities after the initial recovery period, although timing varies by patient.
The lifting effect may be seen early, while collagen remodeling can continue to influence results over weeks and months.
Candidate Selection
A consultation helps determine whether Mint PDO Threads may be appropriate for your anatomy, healing considerations, and aesthetic goals.
May be a better fit for patients who have some sagging or loss of support but do not necessarily need surgery.
Can be considered by healthy adults who want facial support without a surgical lift, depending on provider evaluation.
Ideal candidates understand that results vary, improvement is often gradual, and no treatment can guarantee a specific result.
Patients should be well enough for an office-based procedure and able to follow pre- and post-treatment instructions.
A consultation is important to confirm whether thread lift treatment is appropriate for your anatomy and goals.
Before & After Treatment
Timeline
Some change may appear right away, while collagen remodeling continues over time. Results vary by patient.
A lifting effect may be seen soon after placement, though swelling can temporarily affect how the area looks right away.
As healing continues, collagen remodeling may begin to support more refined contour and tissue support.
Improvement may continue gradually as the body responds to the threads and surrounding tissue adapts.
How long results last depends on anatomy, lifestyle, treatment area, and the individualized treatment plan used.
Some patients may benefit from maintenance treatment or complementary aesthetic care recommended by their provider.
