Understanding The Science Behind MINT™ PDO Threads

MINT™ PDO Threads are an innovative, minimally invasive solution designed to lift and tighten sagging skin. The natural aging process involves factors like bone resorption and the loss or migration of fat pads, leading to decreased facial definition and volume. As support structures diminish, skin begins to sag. MINT™ PDO Threads work by reapproximating the skin to its original position, countering these effects. Made from polydioxanone (PDO), a biodegradable material used in medical sutures, these threads also stimulate collagen production. Fully absorbed by the body within six months, they continue to encourage collagen synthesis for additional months, making their effects last upwards of 12-18 months. When combined with fillers that restore volume, the results are even more dramatic and long-lasting, offering a scientifically backed way to rejuvenate your appearance.

Our Process

Upon arrival at Limelight Medical Aesthetics, Dr. Tyler reviews your completed questionnaire and treatment consent forms with you, ensuring all questions are addressed. Photos are taken to document your aesthetic journey and help refine future treatments. The skin is then cleansed, and anatomical areas are measured and marked. Dr. Tyler adjusts and repositions the skin to determine optimal thread placement. Injectable lidocaine is used for comfort during the procedure.

The process begins with a needle puncture to allow the insertion of a blunt cannula, through which the thread is attached. The cannula is guided under the skin, with moments requiring additional force to ensure proper anchoring. Once positioned, the skin is molded over the cannula, activating the barbs and securing the tissue. As the cannula is withdrawn, the thread is left in place, with the tissue repositioned. Threads are gently pulled for adjustments, tied, and trimmed, with the skin massaged to cover any knots. Smooth threads use sharp needles for insertion, focusing on collagen stimulation without additional manipulation.

Pre & Post Treatment Care

To ensure optimal results from your MINT™ PDO Threads treatment, follow these pre- and post-care tips. Before your procedure, avoid alcohol for 1-2 days and refrain from smoking for 1-2 weeks prior and after. Discontinue fish oil, turmeric, aspirin, and blood thinners 2-3 days before your appointment.

After treatment, you can resume daily activities immediately but expect some swelling. Use ice packs for 30 minutes over several days to reduce it. A popping sensation is normal as threads settle. Avoid washing your hair or showering for 24 hours, and wash your face gently thereafter. Refrain from smoking and drinking to promote healing, and avoid activities like aggressive chewing, wide yawns, and big smiles for up to a month. Sleep on your back for the first 3-5 days, and avoid strenuous activities.
