It’s probably redundant to say the quality of our skin declines with age. Over time, our skin grows lax and we start suffering from fine lines, wrinkles, jowls, sagging skin, and other issues. Facelifts can tighten your skin and make you look a lot younger, but going under a knife isn’t always the easiest thing to face, and you might not have the time for an extended recovery period at the moment.
Mint PDO thread lifts are an alternative to traditional facelifts. They restore the youthful facial appearance and reduce the signs of aging without surgeries, incisions or an extended downtime. A mint PDO thread lift repositions the underlying tissues to soften your facial features, producing longer results than dermal fillers, but without complicated surgeries.
What is a Mint PDO Thread Lift?
A Mint PDO thread lift is a procedure that subtly lifts your facial features to reduce the signs of aging. Mint PDO is a safe, effective, biocompatible, and dissolvable suture composed of “polydioxanone,” a complex sugar often used in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgeries to suture wounds and incisions.
Mint PDO thread lifts serve a two-fold purpose — Direct skin tightening & Collagen formation. First, the PDO thread lifts reposition the underlying tissues, giving your skin an immediate lift to reduce fine lines. Second, the PDO threads eventually get absorbed by the body and facilitate natural collagen stimulation, leading to long-term improvements in skin texture and elasticity.
During your mint PDO thread lift, numerous threads connected to long cannulas are inserted underneath the skin’s tissues, repositioning and tightening it. We’ll place as many PDO threads as necessary to achieve optimal lift. The procedure is completely safe, received FDA-approval in 2004, and is currently used in 14 countries globally.
