Understanding The Science Behind MINT™ PDO Threads

MINT™ PDO Threads utilize biodegradable polydioxanone (PDO), which has been used in medical sutures for decades, to offer two distinctive non-surgical treatments: Lifting Threads and Smoothing Threads . These threads act as a scaffold, physically supporting tissues and stimulating fibroblasts to enhance collagen synthesis. The increased collagen production improves skin elasticity and firmness, gradually enhancing the skin’s underlying structure.

This minimally invasive procedure is scientifically grounded in wound-healing processes, making both treatments reliable options for subtle, long-lasting skin rejuvenation.

Minimally
Invasive

The procedure is minimally invasive and uses tiny insertions of threads that safely dissolve over time. As they do, they help your body produce new collagen, which supports smoother, firmer skin and enhances natural facial contours.

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 cleansed, and anatomical areas are measured and marked. Dr. Tyler adjusts and repositions the skin to determine the optimal placement for threads. Injectable lidocaine is used for comfort during the procedure.

Lifting Threads: The process begins with a needle puncture, allowing the insertion of a blunt cannula attached to the lifting thread. The cannula is guided under the skin, sometimes requiring additional force to anchor the threads securely. Once in position, the skin is gently molded to activate the thread barbs, lifting and repositioning tissue as needed. After the cannula is withdrawn, the threads are adjusted, tied, and trimmed, with a gentle massage to ensure a smooth contour and conceal any knots.

Smooth Threads: Smooth threads are inserted differently, using sharp needles rather than a cannula. These threads are strategically placed to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. Unlike lifting threads, smooth threads do not reposition tissue; instead, they work by initiating a natural healing response, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity over time, without the need for additional adjustment or tissue 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.
