MINT PDO Thread Lifts
What Are PDO Thread Lifts?
MINT™ PDO Thread Lifts use Polydioxanone (PDO) sutures—biocompatible material safely used in medicine for over 40 years—to lift and tighten sagging facial tissue. These specialized threads feature press-molded barbs in a patented 360-degree helical pattern that anchors beneath the skin, providing immediate lift while stimulating natural collagen production.
The minimally invasive procedure is performed in-office with local anesthesia. As threads gradually dissolve over 6–12 months, they trigger neocollagenesis—rebuilding skin structure from within for results that continue improving long after placement.
