MINT™ PDO threads offer a safe and effective way to lift and rejuvenate the face, jawline, neck, and body without invasive surgery. Using medical-grade dissolvable threads, this advanced procedure provides both immediate lift and long-term collagen stimulation. Whether you’re concerned about jowls, sagging cheeks, or skin laxity, our doctor-led thread lift treatment helps redefine your natural contours with minimal downtime and lasting results.
MINT™ (Minimal Invasive Non-surgical Thread) PDO threads are FDA-cleared, medical-grade dissolvable threads designed to lift sagging tissue and stimulate collagen. Made from polydioxanone, the same material used in surgical sutures, these threads provide structural support while encouraging the body to naturally improve skin elasticity and texture over time.
Tiny threads are inserted under the skin using a fine needle, creating a supportive mesh that lifts and repositions sagging tissue. The threads have barbs or cones that anchor the skin, providing an instant lift. Over the next few weeks, the threads gradually dissolve while stimulating new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Combining MINT™ threads with other treatments like dermal fillers can enhance your results by restoring volume and hydration while lifting sagging tissue.
