Mint PDO Threads

Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that keep the skin firm, strong, and youthful. Since these proteins deplete with age, collagen stimulating treatments are becoming a popular way to renew the skin and keep the face looking younger for longer.

Mint PDO Threads are an excellent skin-lifting and rejuvenating procedure, designed to renew collagen and elastin and improve facial contours. They are made of an injectable polydioxanone (PDO) suture, which eventually dissolves, leaving the skin firmer and stronger than before. Mint threads are a result of significant advancements in PDO mono thread technology, both lifting the skin and promoting deep cellular renewal, for great skin lifting and tightening results.

Flawless Rejuvenation is now offering this high-quality facial lifting procedure, with treatment plans tailored to you and your aesthetic goals.

How it works

Mint PDO Threads are designed to support and strengthen the skin’s connective tissue and structure, with press-moulded barbs for extra strength. The threads offer a 360-degree, bi-directional barb pattern for exceptional lift and anchoring. When injected into certain facial areas, they stimulate the skin to produce a mesh of collagen, resulting in the longevity of lifting results long after the thread has dissolved. Most importantly, PDO is a well-established material in medicine and the strongest material for a mechanical lift. You will see a noticeable change for 12 months or more.

We have threads that focus on jowls, nasolabial folds, eyebrows, nose, jawline and neck. A Mint lift doesn’t replace a facelift, but bridges the gap and repositions fat pads to offer you a more youthful face shape.

What are the benefits?

Mint PDO threads are a popular, highly effective treatment designed to firm, tighten, and lift the skin. It is FDA approved and is considered a minimally invasive alternative to a facelift. The treatment has both internal and external benefits. By supporting the skin’s structure and triggering collagen production, Mint PDO threads gently lift the facial skin for a more youthful appearance. Men and women may seek the procedure to achieve:

• A tighter, lifted appearance, without surgical methods
• More youthful facial contours, such as higher cheekbones
• A redefined jawline and chin
• Smoother necklines
• Softer, smoother facial skin
• Minimal side effects and downtime
• Noticeable, natural results

Ideal candidates for Mint PDO Threads

You will need to have a consult to discuss your goals and skin condition prior to your treatment, with one of our highly experienced injectors. Your consultation at Flawless Rejuvenation will involve a discussion about your health, such as any medical issues or medications. We will also discuss your facial contours and skin condition in order to decide on an appropriate treatment plan.

Generally, good candidates are men or women who:

• Are physically healthy
• Are over 18 years old
• Do not take Aspirin or other blood-thinning medications
• Have realistic expectations
• Do not have a tendency to keloid scarring
• Are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Your injector will also examine your skin thickness to determine if Mint PDO threads are a good treatment option for you. He will then offer guidance and recommendations based on your skin condition, health, and aesthetic goals.

What to expect

On the day of your procedure, your injector will apply a topical numbing cream and will inject local anesthetic as well to reduce any discomfort. The exact injection points and pattern of the PDO threads will depend on your treatment areas.

Your injector will insert your Mint PDO Threads carefully into the subcutaneous layer, just under the skin. The insertion produces an immediate tightening effect whilst triggering the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. This leads to gradual skin rejuvenation, reduced wrinkles, and enhanced overall vitality.

The treatment takes between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the treatment areas.

Things to consider

Following treatment, you may experience some swelling or a feeling of tightness, pulling, or twinging. This is normal and should subside within two weeks after treatment. Over time, the absorbable threads will dissolve, leaving behind a tighter, firmer skin structure.

We will ensure you have instructions on what to avoid and how to care for your treated areas post-procedure. This may include instructions such as:

• Apply ice for the first few hours to reduce swelling
• Avoid makeup for 48 hours
• Sleep on your back for two to three days
• Avoid smoking and alcohol for three days
• Do not rub or massage the treated area
• Avoid exerting your facial muscles
