MINT™ is an absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) barbed suture indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. With a decade worth of safety track record in surgery, PDO is a safe raw material that has been used for orthopedic and cardiovascular surgery for wound closure. As a safe raw material that is completely absorbed by the body through hydrolysis, PDO causes minimal tissue reaction and tissue trauma.
Not only that, MINT™ is also backed by more than 6 years of clinical studies for its efficacy and safety and is the first and only PDO suture in the US market to have received two FDA clearances.
MINT™ PDO thread is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require general anesthesia nor big incisions for your patients. There are tiny barbs strategically placed and molded all around the thread. Once the threads are placed into the skin, the barbs anchor onto sagging skin, and the thread can be maneuvered to achieve a naturally youthful and defined look.
Not only can it improve the appearance of sagging skin, PDO (polydioxanone) can also help promote the stimulation of collagen and neovascularization, which helps to improve skin elasticity, texture, fine lines, and volume for a timeless rejuvenation.
Eyebrow lifting with PDO threads is a popular non-surgical option as long as there is no severe forehead skin thinning.

Mint PDO threads are excellent for nose lifting. This lovely lady came for a nose filler. She was afraid of pdo thread for nose lift and declined my recommendation of it initially and got a syringe of Restylane Lyft, which added height to her nose. However, she wanted the nose tip to be a little higher, which the filler alone could not do in Asian nose. I suggested thread being added at this point, and the result satisfied the client. The base of the nose also got narrower, which gave her face a better balance. She was very happy.
