Procedure Information

PDO Thread Lift

What is a thread lift?

PDO (polydioxanone) Threads are made from suture material very similar to those used in surgeries. The PDO Threads (smooth, spiraled or barbed) will be will inserted under the skin through a minimally invasive procedure which helps hold the skin up against the effects of gravity. Once the threads are inserted the body responds by sending nutrients to the threads, which aid in producing collagen and elastin.

MINT Lift/ PDO Thread lift procedure targets sagging jowls, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, unwanted midface wrinkles, sagging neckline, undefined jaw lines, etc. to lift and tighten skin. PDO thread lifting result is temporary and the lifting effect from the procedure may vary from patient to patient. Continued maintenance and repeating the procedure every 12-18 months is recommended to maintain the desired effect.

Best Candidate

- Patients that do not have excessively thin skin or significant laxity are good candidates because excessive skin or laxity could lead to bunching or dimpling of the threads.
-Patients who are on blood thinners, who drink alcohol heavily are not good candidates.
-St Johns Wort, Garlic, Vitamin E, Fish Oil and other supplements could thin your blood and increase bruising and bleeding.
