MINT™ PDO Thread Lift

The MINT™ Lift is an advanced treatment capable of diminishing common signs of age and giving the face a more youthful, refreshed look without the need for invasive surgery and long recovery periods. With the use of polydioxanone (PDO) threads, which are dissolvable sutures designed to lift and tighten sagging, inelastic skin and promote the growth of new collagen, the MINT™ Lift can significantly enhance skin texture with results that last up to one year.

Here at Radiance Medical Spa, Max Lehfeldt, MD and our experienced team of providers are committed to helping you achieve your goals with exceptional results. If you would like to schedule a consultation, please don’t hesitate to contact our practice today.

What Are the Potential Benefits of MINT™ Lift Treatment?

MINT™ Lift treatment offers a variety of benefits for individuals considering options for skin rejuvenation, including:

• Instant Lift:Immediate improvement in skin laxity
• Collagen Stimulation:Enhances natural collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness over time
• Minimally Invasive:Unlike traditional facelifts, this procedure requires no large incisions or general anesthesia
• Results that may last up to a full year
• Minimal recovery time

Additionally, this treatment can be very effective on its own, or it can often be combined with other medical spa treatments here at the practice of Dr. Max Lehfeldt for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

What Areas Can Be Treated with the MINT™ Lift?

The MINT™ Lift can be performed for numerous areas of concern, including:

• Under the Eyes – Address hollowness; enhance volume; reduce signs of fine lines
• Eyebrows – Diminish a “hooding” effect; improve asymmetry
• Cheeks – Lift the skin; enhance cheekbone contour; add volume
• Nose – Improve definition and height of the nasal bridge; lift and slim the tip of the nose
• Nasolabial Folds – Reduce signs of lines between the nose and mouth; enhance volume to address a “sunken” appearance
• Mouth – Minimize “smoker’s lines”/”marionette lines”; enhance lip definition
• Jawline – Minimize signs of jowls; enhance jawline contour; lift and tighten the skin
• Neck – Diminish fine lines; improve signs of a “double-chin” caused by excess skin; lift and tighten the skin

The MINT™ Lift can also be a solution to tighten the skin, reduce fine lines, and restore lost volume in other areas of the body. During your initial consultation, our provider can talk with you about your goals and determine whether treatment with MINT™ PDO thread lifting is an ideal option.

What Does the MINT™ PDO Thread Lift Procedure Involve?

Once the treatment plan is developed and the best placement for the threads has been assessed, the MINT™ PDO thread lift procedure can be scheduled. During the procedure, a local anesthetic will be applied to reduce the potential for excessive discomfort.The threads, which are absorbable sutures, are strategically inserted under the skin using a fine needle. Our provider will adjust them in a way that can instantly lift sagging areas, and subsequently help stimulate new collagen growth. The entire process typically takes30-60 minutes, depending on individual needs and the size of the treatment area.

What Can I Expect During Recovery from MINT™ Lift Treatment?

Mild swelling, bruising, and soreness may be present after treatment, but these side effects generally resolve within a few days. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities, excessive facial movements, and direct pressure in the treatment area for a while following the procedure. With that in mind, many individuals are able to resume their normal daily routines within one day; however, the recovery timeframe will ultimately depend on the extent of treatment and each patient’s unique needs.

How Long Do MINT™ Lift Results Last?

Patients often notice an immediate lifting effect, with further improvement becoming more apparent ascollagen production increasesover the next several months. The PDO threads should be fully dissolved after about six to eight months; however, many individuals may continue to experience the positive benefits of new collagen growth in the treatment area for up to one year after the procedure.
