MINT™ PDO Thread Lifts

What is MINT™ PDO and Is It Safe?

MINT™ is an absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) barbed suture indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. With a decade worth of safety track record in surgery, PDO is a safe raw material that has been used for orthopedic and cardiovascular surgery for wound closure. As a safe raw material that is completely absorbed by the body through hydrolysis, PDO causes minimal tissue reaction and tissue trauma.

Not only that, MINT™ is also backed by more than 6 years of clinical studies for its efficacy and safety and is the first and only PDO suture in the US market to have received two FDA clearances.

How Does It Work?

MINT™ PDO thread is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require general anesthesia nor big incisions for your patients. There are tiny barbs strategically placed and molded all around the thread. Once the threads are placed into the skin, the barbs anchor onto sagging skin, and the thread can be maneuvered to achieve a naturally youthful and defined look.

Not only can it improve the appearance of sagging skin, PDO (polydioxanone) can also help promote the stimulation of collagen and neovascularization, which helps to improve skin elasticity, texture, fine lines, and volume for a timeless rejuvenation.

How is MINT™ Different From Cut Threads?

Unlike conventional sutures that cut the barbs from the integral core of the thread, MINT™ is manufactured through an innovative patented technology where the barbs are press-molded on the surface of the thread to maintain its structural integrity.

The 360 degrees of helically positioned barbs are designed to maximize tensile and anchoring strength in order to securely anchor onto the 3D structure of the soft tissue for effective and powerful approximation.

Consultation before the treatment

Before signing yourself up for a treatment, Victoria Med Spa provides you with a consultation with our Medical Professionals. This is to allow us to know more about you and what kind of results you are looking for. We can also talk about your concern, if you have any, and examine your skin before the treatment. In return, you can find out more about our methods and procedure for PDO Thread Lift.

What is the MINT™ PDO Thread Lift Procedure?

The PDO Thread Lift procedure began with an esthetician administering a numbing agent and sterilizing the part of your skin receiving the Thread. Once you are all set, we will start to insert the PDO Thread with a needle. Once the Thread is placed in the right place, we will start tightening your skin to deal with skin sagging. Likewise, we will also start smoothing wrinkles on your skin, until lines are not visible anymore. After once the procedure is done, the long-lasting effect will start to take place.

How long will it take to fully recover from the treatment?

The recovery time after the treatment can take up to 2 weeks, along with slight bruising and swelling in the first week. While for a day or two, the patient might feel discomfort. It is preferred to use an ice pack to deal with swelling and to avoid any extreme facial movement until full recovery. Once this is all set and done, you can start to reap the benefit of this treatment.
