How MINT PDO Threads Lift and Tighten Skin Without Surgery
Aging does not happen all at once. Over time, the skin gradually loses collagen, elasticity, and structural support, leading to sagging, softened facial contours, and a less defined jawline.
At Rejuvenation MD, MINT PDO Threads offer a minimally invasive solution for patients looking to lift and tighten the skin without surgery. These specialized medical-grade threads provide immediate support while stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, helping improve skin firmness, contour, and overall rejuvenation over time.
MINT PDO Threads are FDA-cleared dissolvable sutures made from polydioxanone (PDO) that are inserted beneath the skin to lift sagging tissue while stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Molded barbs along the threads hold tissue in a lifted position, creating an immediate improvement in facial contour.
As the threads dissolve over several months, new collagen continues building around them, progressively improving skin firmness and definition. At Rejuvenation MD, Dr. Umbreen Chaudhary tailors thread placement to each patient’s anatomy and goals for a natural-looking result without surgery or significant downtime.
MINT PDO Threads work by placing dissolvable surgical sutures beneath the skin to gently reposition and support tissue. The threads contain tiny molded barbs that help create a lifting effect while encouraging collagen production as they naturally dissolve.
Patients often notice an immediate improvement in facial contouring, with continued enhancement developing over the following months as new collagen forms around the threads.
As collagen and elastin production slows, the skin becomes less firm and resilient. This natural aging process can contribute to:
While skincare products can improve skin quality, they cannot reposition tissue that has begun to descend with age.
MINT PDO Threads are strategically placed beneath the skin during an in-office procedure. Once positioned, the threads create a supportive framework that helps lift and stabilize the treatment area.
Unlike surgical facelifts, MINT PDO Threads do not require large incisions or extensive downtime. Instead, they provide a more subtle and natural-looking enhancement while stimulating long-term collagen production.
As the threads dissolve over several months, the newly formed collagen helps maintain improvements in skin firmness and structure.
MINT PDO Threads can be used to improve several common signs of aging, including:
Because every face ages differently, treatment plans are customized based on facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.
A topical anesthetic and local anesthetic are used to maximize comfort throughout the procedure.
Once the treatment area is prepared, the threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin using specialized techniques. Most appointments take approximately 45 to 90 minutes depending on the areas being treated.
Patients may experience temporary swelling, tenderness, bruising, or tightness following treatment, which typically improves over the first several days.
One of the unique benefits of MINT PDO Threads is that results develop in two phases.
The first phase is the immediate lifting effect created by the thread placement. The second phase occurs as collagen production increases around the threads, helping improve skin firmness, texture, and support over time.
Most patients notice continued improvement over several months as collagen remodeling occurs.
Results may vary based on:
MINT PDO Threads may be an excellent option for patients who want noticeable lifting and tightening without surgery or extended recovery.
They are often ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who want to restore definition to the face, jawline, or neck while maintaining a natural appearance.
During a consultation, we evaluate your facial anatomy, skin quality, and goals to determine whether MINT PDO Threads are the most appropriate treatment or if a combination approach may provide the best outcome.
