MINT PDO Thread Lift

MINT PDO THREAD LIFT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• What is a MINT PDO Thread Lift?

  The treatment uses patented, 360 degree ‘helically moulded barbs’ to pull the skin into position and anchor it in place. These are gently threaded under the skin by an expert, and are stronger, more secure and potentially more accurate than previous types of PDO thread lift.

• How is it different from other thread lifts?

  Many types of PDO thread lift use barbs that are cut from the core of the threads. But a MINT PDO Thread Lift features barbs that are moulded to the surface of the threads. This gives greater control, strength and precision.

• Does it hurt?

  No, most of our clients don’t report any pain or discomfort with MINT PDO Thread Lift treatment.

• How long does it last?

  It varies between people and skin types, but you could see results for up to 24 months.

• Are there any side-effects?

  In some cases, bruising, swelling and ‘puckering’ can occur. But, these usually pass in a matter of days as the skin begins to recover. Over-the-counter pain relief and a wrapped ice pack can help with any discomfort you might experience.

• Are MINT PDO Thread Lifts safe?

  Yes. PDO stands for Polydioxanone, a material that’s safe for aesthetic treatments and biodegrades naturally over time, meaning it’s absorbed by the body without the need to be removed. Side-effects and allergic reactions are extremely rare as it’s considered a ‘biocompatible’ material.

• Who is a good candidate for treatment?

  Most men and women over 18 will be suitable for treatment. However, if there’s an alternative we think might be better for your skin, we’ll talk through this during your consultation.

• When will I see results?

  Results can be immediate, as the skin is lifted and anchored in place. But because the treatment helps to boost collagen production, your results could also improve over time.

• What should I expect during treatment?

  In most cases, MINT PDO Thread Lift treatment takes around 1 hour and our clients can get straight back to their normal daily activities or work. The procedure is minimally invasive, without scarring or trauma. However, some people choose to take some time off if they experience any swelling or bruising of the skin.
