MINT PDO thread lift is an innovative procedure that uses suture like threads made from PDO (Polydioxanone) inserted under the skin to combat early signs of ageing such as early facial sagging and jowling. The threads are used to reposition and tighten tissue laxity in the facial and neck area by physically lifting sagging tissue, stimulating collagen proliferation and contraction of fat tissue to help maintain the lift. MINT PDO threads dissolve and are completely absorbed by the body in around 6-9 months after insertion.

Made in the Korea, MINT PDO threads have a firm track record of efficacy and safety in the USA and Asia and were approved by the TGA for use in Australia in May 2019. MINT PDO threads are exclusively performed by Doctors in clinics across Australia.

At Vamp Cosmetic Clinic, we offer an innovative thread lift treatment that combines MINT long threads with PDO mono threads for a more dramatic lift. First, MINT long threads are placed under the skin and secured, next PDO mono threads are placed in a ‘lattice’ pattern across the long threads, much like scaffolding in a building, to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. You will see immediate results with continued improvement over 4-12 weeks.

Our innovative thread lift treatment involves placement of a minimum of 12 x MINT PDO long threads + a series of PDO mono threads to support the structural threads.

MINT (PDO) thread lift treatment is recommended for men and women with mild to moderate laxity (sagging) to the lower, mid face and neck (approximate age range of clients is 30-60 years). The Doctor will determine if you are the suitable candidate for the MINt thread lift on consultation

MINT thread lift is suitable for those looking to treat:

• Sagging cheeks and early jowling
• Drooping skin on the mid and lower face
• Submental (under the chin) & neck laxity
• Improves lower and mid face definition and symmetry

The MINT PDO thread lift does not have the same results as facial surgical but it offers a lasting refresh of skin tissue and facial structure for those not ready to undergo surgery.

The MINT (PDO) thread lift is performed in clinic by our experienced Cosmetic Doctors

The procedure begins by the Doctor injecting local anaesthetic into the treatment area to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. You will feel minimum discomfort, only some pulling and pressure while the Doctor positions the threads under the skin. Entry points are then made using a needle attached to the thread (no incisions are required) and the thread is placed under the skin. Several threads are placed on each side of the face and the Doctor then pulls the threads tightly and they’re tied off. The knot from the threads is hidden underneath the skin and the treatment is complete. Whilst the lift is immediate, gradual proliferation of collagen and fibrous tissue takes place over a period of 4-12 weeks, further tightening and and shaping the contours of the face.

The MINT PDO thread lift takes approximately 60-90 minutes to perform depending on how many threads are placed and the areas being treated. You will notice small entry points to allow the threads to be placed within the skin tissue. You will also notice small knots where the threads have been ‘fixed’. The knot is concealed under the skin.

After the procedure you will experience:

• Minor bruising
• Moderate the severe swelling (7-14 days)
• Tenderness
• Minor dimpling and irregularties to the skin tissue is common where the skin has been lifted (2-4 weeks)
• You will be required to wear a support garment at night (provided)
• Refrain from high impact physical activity for 3 weeks (low impact activity such as yoga, swimming etc is permitted)

Unlike other threads available on the market no ‘taping’ of the face is required and you can resume most normal daily activities right away.

The results of the MINT PDO thread lift last up to 18-24 months. Individual variation in longevity of results exists and result may be affected by continual ageing and lifestyle factors such as smoking and weight loss  

The MINT thread lift requires an in person or video consultation with our Doctor prior to the treatment being performed, to determine if you are a suitable candidate. We do not charge for initial consultation but a $200 deposit is required to secure an appointment for treatment.
