It’s probably redundant to say the quality of our skin declines with age. Over time, our skin grows lax and we start suffering from fine lines, wrinkles, jowls, sagging skin, and other issues. Facelifts can tighten your skin and make you look a lot younger, but going under a knife isn’t always the easiest thing to face, and you might not have the time for an extended recovery period at the moment.
Mint PDO thread lifts are an alternative to traditional facelifts. They restore the youthful facial appearance and reduce the signs of aging without surgeries, incisions or an extended downtime. A mint PDO thread lift repositions the underlying tissues to soften your facial features, producing longer results than dermal fillers, but without complicated surgeries.
A Mint PDO thread lift is a procedure that subtly lifts your facial features to reduce the signs of aging. Mint PDO is a safe, effective, biocompatible, and dissolvable suture composed of “polydioxanone,” a complex sugar often used in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgeries to suture wounds and incisions.
Mint PDO thread lifts serve a two-fold purpose — Direct skin tightening & Collagen formation. First, the PDO thread lifts reposition the underlying tissues, giving your skin an immediate lift to reduce fine lines. Second, the PDO threads eventually get absorbed by the body and facilitate natural collagen stimulation, leading to long-term improvements in skin texture and elasticity.
During your mint PDO thread lift, numerous threads connected to long cannulas are inserted underneath the skin’s tissues, repositioning and tightening it. We’ll place as many PDO threads as necessary to achieve optimal lift. The procedure is completely safe, received FDA-approval in 2004, and is currently used in 14 countries globally.
Patients who want to reverse signs of aging such as sagging skin and wrinkles, without surgery or extended downtime. Dr. Zampell will determine your suitability, and make necessary adjustments to the procedure accordingly.
Candidates may be male or female between 30 and 50 years old. Mint PDO thread lifts are most effective when treating moderate signs of aging, such as jowls, nasolabial folds, and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and neck.
However, the mint PDO thread lift is also suitable for younger patients in their 20s who want an even tighter facial appearance with a chiseled jawline, or those who want to treat droopy eyelids..
During your initial consultation, our expert aestheticians examine your skin quality and discuss your cosmetic goals to curate the ideal treatment plan. We create a treatment map on your face, marking the targeted entry points for the PDO threads. The PDO threads suspend your skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Finally, the needles are removed, and the excess threads are snapped off. The procedure may last between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the treatment plan, and the results are immediately evident.
Mint PDO thread lifts are minimally-invasive procedures with no downtime. You can resume work and most daily activities immediately the next day. You may experience some inflammation, discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the treatment sites for up to one week. However, the side effects are mild, and they recede within a week.
Mint PDO thread lifts lead to immediate results due to the direct skin suspension. However, as the threads dissolve and your body produces collagen, you may continue seeing improved results for a few weeks. The overall results last for up to one year.
