MINT PDO is a safe and effective thread that is used to pull and approximate soft tissues of the sagging skin to a desired position. MINT™ has received its 510(k) clearance from the FDA and is currently being used in 14 other countries worldwide. The procedure is simple and done through local anesthesia. Patients will experience minimal pain, minimal scarring, and a rapid recovery.
MINT PDO, as the name suggests, is a sterile, absorbable suture composed of polydioxanone. MINT’s bi-directional and helically positioned barbs strongly anchor onto the soft tissue and then approximate it to the desired position.
MINT™ procedures are safe for Formula Wellness patients who keep up with healthy lifestyles and have maintained their weight for at least three months.
If you are on any type of blood thinner or have had complications after any other procedure, please let your Formula Wellness Provider know during your screening consultl
After the procedure, patients may immediately return to daily lives, but they should consult with their physicians before resuming exercise and other intense activities.
We recommend avoiding showering until the next day as well as prevention as much of possible of excessive smiling, laughing or coughing.
The Mint PDO threadlift is a safe non-surgical procedure, however it is still a procedure involving needles and injections, and thus, like all procedures carry risk. Please talk to your provider abourt a full explanation of all risks (just like in botox, fillers, or surgery) including but not limited to bleeding, infection, exrtrusion of suture, as well as other risks.
Side Effects - They are minimal. Side effects may include but are not limited to bruising, dimpling, and swelling.
Patients will see immediate results after the procedure that can last up to 1 year and sometimes longer. Despite being relatively new to the US market, MINT has a stronger lifting power and better specification designs in comparison to other PDO threads. By restoring the patient’s lost youth with a sharper jawline and V-line, MINT procedures address signs of aging caused by gravity, such as sagging skin.
PDO Threadlift Procedures
There are 2 types of threads used in our procedures - smooth and patented 360 degree helical barbed sutures (threads).
The smooth work to stimulate collagen regrowth and maintain lasting results. Not limited to a particular area of the body, smooth threads can be used for scars, general facial collagen, lips, neck, buttock. and abdominal areas.
The patented helical barbed suture is used for additional lifting and often 4-5 sutures (per side) are needed to "lift" an area.
