What are MINT™ PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a transformative advancement in aesthetic medicine, offering an effective, minimally invasive technique for facial rejuvenation. Due to their biocompatibility and absorbable nature, these threads have a long history of safe use in surgical procedures, particularly cardiovascular surgeries. In recent years, the FDA has approved PDO threads for aesthetic applications, representing a significant advancement in non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
The composition of MINT™ PDO threads is what makes them particularly safe and effective. Made from polydioxanone, a material that has been used in surgery for decades, these threads are fully biocompatible. This means that over time, typically 6-8 months, the threads are naturally absorbed by the body. However, the effects of collagen stimulation can last for 12-18 months or even longer.
The versatility of MINT™ PDO threads allows us to customize treatments for each client, whether they’re looking for a subtle refresh or more noticeable rejuvenation.
How Do MINT™ PDO Threads Work?
MINT™ PDO threads provide both instant mechanical lifting and promote long-term collagen production for enhanced results. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Thread Insertion
Using a fine needle or cannula, our skilled practitioners insert the MINT™ PDO threads into the subdermal layer of your skin.
Immediate Lifting
Once inserted, the threads provide instant support to sagging skin, creating a visible lifting effect.
Collagen Stimulation
he presence of the threads triggers your body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.
Gradual Improvement
Over the next few months, as your body produces more collagen and elastin, you’ll notice continued improvement in skin texture and firmness.
Thread Absorption
The MINT™ PDO threads are gradually absorbed by your body over 6-9 months, leaving behind the newly formed collagen structure.
At Ageless Health Institute, we utilize two main types of MINT™ PDO threads to cater to our client’s diverse needs. The first type is barbed threads, which feature tiny “barbs” or “cogs” that anchor into the tissue, providing a more substantial lifting effect. These threads are ideal for areas requiring more significant lifting, such as the jowls or neck. The second type is smooth threads, which do not have barbs but still effectively stimulate collagen production. Smooth threads are often used in areas that need texture improvement or subtle tightening, such as the cheeks or under-eye area. Our experienced team will determine the best type and combination of threads for your unique needs during your consultation.
