What Is MINT™ PDO?
MINT™ is short for Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread. It is a suture made out of complex sugar polydioxanone, aka PDO. There are barbs in the thread that anchor into the skin and help to reposition facial tissue. This gives you a non-surgical lift and reduces the signs of aging.
MINT™ is a safe, absorbable suture. Once the thread is inserted into the skin, the tiny barbs on the thread anchors onto sagging tissue and are then maneuvered to contour your natural features. The thread dissolves in 6 to 8 months and can help stimulate your body to produce its own collagen. By stimulating this natural activity, it can further improve the appearance of your skin.
