What Is MINT™ PDO Thread Lift?

MINT™ PDO Thread Lift is a minimally invasive treatment that uses press-molded, absorbable sutures to physically lift sagging tissue while simultaneously stimulating collagen production for a firmer, more sculpted appearance.

Press-Molded 360° Barbs

Engineered with barbs arranged in a helical pattern that are molded rather than cut, preserving the structural strength of the thread.
Mechanical Lifting Action

Grips and physically repositions sagging tissue to provide an immediate lift, unlike smooth threads that focus purely on collagen stimulation.
Contour Restoration

Gently supports and lifts key areas like the cheeks, jawline, and neck to restore youthful definition.
Collagen Regeneration

Encourages the body's natural healing response to build new collagen for lasting firmness without surgery.

How MINT™ PDO Thread Lift Works

Once placed beneath the skin, the barbs anchor into the surrounding tissue, gripping and gently repositioning sagging areas to a more youthful position. This mechanical anchoring is what creates the immediate lifting effect patients notice right after treatment.

At the same time, the presence of the threads triggers your body's natural healing response, prompting new collagen to form around each thread. Over the following months, this collagen builds structural support of its own, so that even as the MINT™ threads gradually absorb and disappear, the collagen they helped generate continues supporting firmer, more lifted-looking skin.

What MINT™ PDO Thread Lift Treats

MINT™ PDO Thread Lift addresses mild sagging and loss of contour across key areas of the face and neck:

Cheeks

Restores midface structure and revives lost definition for a lifted, youthful appearance

Jawline and Jowls

Sharpens the lower face, refines the jawline, and softens early jowling

Neck

Improves support and delivers a subtly lifted look along delicate neck tissue

Who Should Consider MINT™ PDO Thread Lift?

MINT™ PDO Thread Lift is a fit for adults experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity or early changes in facial contour who want a non-surgical approach.

Address Early Sagging: Noticeable mild-to-moderate laxity in the cheeks, jawline, or neck.
Skip Surgical Recovery: A lifting effect achieved without the incisions or downtime of a traditional facelift.

Our process

What to Expect During Your MINT™ PDO Thread Lift Treatment

From the moment you arrive, we want you to feel relaxed, comfortable, and cared for. Every part of your visit is thoughtfully designed to support you and make your experience feel easy from start to finish.

Schedule Consultation

Pre-Treatment

Your visit begins with a consultation to review your goals and history. Your provider evaluates your skin laxity and facial anatomy during a consultation, mapping thread placement and technique suited to your goals. We gently cleanse your skin and perform a detailed VISIA® analysis to look beneath the surface and track your progress. You will then have topical numbing cream applied to keep you comfortable throughout your treatment.

During Treatment

Using a fine needle, your provider places the MINT™ threads beneath the skin along the treatment area, anchoring them to lift and support sagging tissue.

Post-Treatment

Some lifting is noticeable immediately, though results continue to settle over the following weeks. Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness, or asymmetry is common during the 7 to 14 day downtime period, though individual recovery can vary. Avoid facial movements that strain the treated area, such as excessive smiling, yawning, or chewing tough foods, for a week, and refrain from makeup, facials, or intense skincare for at least 5 to 7 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do MINT™ PDO threads work?

MINT™ is a safe, absorbable suture designed to approximate sagging tissue. Once the thread is inserted into the skin, the tiny barbs on the thread anchors onto sagging tissue and are then maneuvered to contour and define your natural features. The thread dissolves in 6-8 months and can stimulate your body to produce its own collagen to further improve the appearance of your skin.

How safe is it?

MINT™ threads are made from a complex sugar polydioxanone or PDO - a safe suture material that has been used in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgeries for over 30 years. Not only that, MINT™ is also backed by more than 6 years of published studies for its safety and is the first PDO suture in the US market to have received three FDA clearances.

When can I see results?

The treatment takes an average of 1 hour, and results can be seen immediately. Patients will experience minimal pain, minimal scarring, and minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures, and results will improve over time as the swelling, redness, and bruising go down.

How long is the downtime?

After the treatment, you may immediately resume your daily activities. More intense activities such as exercise should be resumed after a week, but please consult with your provider beforehand.

Can I get other treatments in combination with PDO threads?

Yes! MINT™ is compatible with many other procedures, so you can take advantage of all the best things each treatment has to offer for synergistic effects. Target wrinkles with neuromodulators, restore volume with dermal fillers, address skin texture with laser treatments, and take care of sagging skin with MINT™.

How long will results last?

The body absorbs PDO threads in 6-8 months after insertion, but the results can last for up to one year as the threads can help stimulate collagen production in the skin. However, results will vary depending on the degree of sagging, thickness of the skin, and the facial structure of the patient.

Are all PDO threads the same?

While PDO threads are made of the same material, the manufacturing process of the thread itself varies from brand to brand. Conventional PDO threads cut the barbs from the integral core of the thread, which weakens it and makes it more prone to breakages. MINT™ uses an innovative patented technology to press-mold the barbs onto the surface of the thread to maintain its structural integrity.
