MINT Thread Lift in Los Angeles
With the advancement of modern medical science, cosmetic surgeons are continuously finding new ways to provide faster, more effective, and less invasive aesthetic enhancement. The minimally invasive non-surgical thread (MINT) PDO lift offers a more comfortable approach to tighten sagging tissue for a younger, smoother facial appearance than traditional facelift surgery.
The efficiency of this unique thread lift prioritizes patient comfort without requiring sedation, and it takes less than an hour to complete. The MINT PDO lift allows patients to return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure.
What Are the Benefits of a MINT PDO Lift?
No Scars, No Trauma
The MINT thread lift offers patients the opportunity to reap the benefits of a facelift without undergoing major surgery that requires general anesthesia. Intensive surgical incisions often lead to scarring and the potential for surgical risks. The MINT PDO lift eliminates these possibilities as no surgery is required, making scarring and any significant skin trauma a thing of the past.
Diverse Areas of Correction
The Mint PDO lift helps eliminate signs of aging in several areas of the face, including the forehead, eyebrows, crow’s feet, cheeks, mid-face, nasolabial folds, jowls, and neck. In addition to correcting sagging skin for immediate results, the threads used during a MINT PDO lift stimulate collagen formation and blood flow for lasting results.
Safe, Quick, & Rewarding
The Mint PDO lift requires zero downtime, and the procedure provides a nearly immediate enhancement to the face. Patients can enjoy the fullness of their results with ease, returning to their daily activities after a brief 20 to 30-minute procedure. This also makes it ideal for patients who wish to undergo additional treatments, such as microneedling or an eyelid lift.

How Does the MINT PDO Lift Work?
Treatment
Patients will need to consult with a Sand Institute doctor before receiving a MINT PDO lift as there may be a more fitting thread lift for their needs.
While the MINT PDO lift is quick and non-surgical, there are many steps involved.
- The patient’s hair will be pulled back or arranged to provide greater visibility of the face.
- Markings are placed on both sides of the face to direct the placement of the threads.
- Local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort and safety.
- A special pre-loaded needle is used to insert the MINT threads. The MINT lift uses a thread called PDO (polydioxanone), a medical-grade suturing material that anchors the skin and lifts it into a more youthful position. These non-allergic and non-antigenic threads feature unique 360-degree 3D helical barbs that allow for multi-directional contact with the tissues. These barbs achieve a stronger hold on skin tissues without over-pulling the skin.
- Once the threads are inserted into their designated areas, the threads gradually readjust the skin to help restore the patient’s youth and contour.
- Immediately after inserting Mint PDO threads, collagen production is stimulated, helping to tighten the sagging skin.
Recovery & Results
After your MINT PDO lift is complete, you will start to notice an immediate difference in your facial contours. Your results will continue to improve over the following three to four weeks.
Since the barbed threads are more securely anchored to the tissues, the results last much longer than many other non-surgical techniques. Additionally, patients will experience zero downtime and can return to their normal activities the same day.
