What Is the MINT™ PDO Thread Lift?
MINT™ stands for Minimally Invasive Non-surgical Thread. This PDO threads treatment uses absorbable threads made of polydioxanone, a material trusted in medical procedures for decades. These threads are inserted into targeted areas of the face, where they anchor and lift sagging skin while stimulating collagen production to improve skin elasticity, texture, and volume.
Whether you are looking to refresh your look or address specific signs of aging, a MINT™ PDO thread lift may help you reach your goals safely and effectively.
How MINT™ PDO Threads Work
The MINT™ PDO thread lift uses patented barbed threads to lift sagging skin and restore contour. Once inserted, the threads anchor securely to the tissue and are gently adjusted to reposition the skin, producing immediate improvement. Their design allows precise lifting that complements your facial structure rather than over-pulling, so the result looks like you rather than like a procedure.
Beneath the surface, the threads continue working. As collagen-stimulating threads, they prompt your body’s own collagen production, which improves skin texture, elasticity, and firmness over the weeks that follow and continues after the threads themselves have dissolved. Individual results vary.
Why Choose MINT™ PDO Threads?
A MINT™ PDO thread lift offers several advantages over traditional facelifts and other non-surgical treatments:
Immediate, Natural-Looking Results
See visible improvement right after your procedure, with continued benefit as collagen production increases.
Minimally Invasive
Achieve a refreshed look without surgery or lengthy recovery.
Long-Lasting Effects
Results can last up to 12 months, with the threads fully absorbed by the body within 6 to 8 months.
FDA-Cleared Safety
MINT™ holds two FDA clearances, supported by years of clinical study.

The Different Thread Lifts Available
A PDO threads treatment can target several areas, including:
Eyebrow Thread Lift
For lifting sagging or furrowed eyebrows and tightening skin.
Nose Thread Lift
Threads placed into the nose for lifting, straightening, or slimming.
Neck Thread Lift
For reducing and lifting loose skin on the neck and diminishing the appearance of necklines.
Cat or Fox Eye Thread Lift
For lifting the brows toward the temples, giving the eyes a more lifted, elongated appearance.
Which of these suits you, and which we offer, is confirmed at your consultation.
Is a MINT™ PDO Thread Lift Right for You?
This sagging skin treatment tends to be a good fit if:
You have mild to moderate laxity along the jawline, cheeks, or neck
You want lift without surgery or extended recovery
You are looking for natural-looking refreshment rather than a dramatic change
You understand results are temporary and maintained rather than permanent
It may not be the right option if:
You have significant skin laxity or descent, which is better addressed surgically
You are taking blood thinning medication that cannot be paused
You have an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area
You are pregnant or breastfeeding
Candidacy is confirmed at your consultation, and if a different approach would serve you better, you will be told that.
YOUR MINT™ PDO THREAD LIFT EXPERIENCE: BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER
HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR MINT™ PDO THREAD LIFT
Proper preparation supports the best result and a smoother experience. Before your procedure:
- Avoid blood thinning medications, as directed by your provider
- Limit alcohol and smoking
- Skip chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and laser treatments
- Temporarily stop fish oil, ginseng, and vitamin E
- Avoid high-intensity workouts for at least two days beforehand
- Schedule a consultation so your plan is confirmed in advance
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE PROCEDURE
The MINT™ PDO thread lift takes about an hour and is performed in our office.
Your skin is cleaned and local anesthetic is applied for your comfort. Using a fine needle or cannula, the threads are inserted into the deeper layers of skin, where the barbs anchor to the tissue. The skin is then lifted and repositioned to achieve the agreed result, and improvement is visible in the treated areas before you leave.
Afterward, you may experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically settles within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities right away, apart from intense exercise, which should wait about a week.
MINT™ PDO THREAD LIFT AFTERCARE
Aftercare matters here more than with many treatments, because the threads need time to settle. Following your procedure:
- Avoid excessive facial expressions, chewing gum, or opening your mouth wide for about two weeks
- Avoid facials, massages, and other facial treatments for at least two weeks
- Refrain from strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and anything that strains the face for at least seven days
- Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and excessive heat for at least a week
- Avoid smoking and tobacco products while you heal
- Handle your face gently, avoiding rubbing, scrubbing, or pressure on the treated areas
- Resume any paused medications only when your provider confirms it is appropriate
Why Total Anti-Aging and Wellness
- Leah MacDowell is a certified master injector with more than 25 years of clinical experience and advanced training across injectables and PDO threads, and she performs these treatments herself.
- Thread placement is where this procedure succeeds or disappoints. Vector, depth, and tension determine whether the result looks naturally refreshed or obviously done, and that judgment comes from experience rather than the device.
- You are assessed before anything is recommended. If your degree of laxity would be better served by a surgical consultation, you will be told that directly.
MINT™ PDO Thread Lift Before and After
Our before-and-after photos show the kind of change this minimally invasive treatment can produce, including a more lifted, defined look and reduced sagging skin. As with all cosmetic procedures, individual results vary.
Serving Daytona Beach and the Surrounding Area
In Daytona Beach, the maximum UV index reaches 8 or higher from March through September, and UV radiation breaks down the collagen and elastin that keep skin firm and lifted, which is why sun-exposed skin on the face and neck often shows more sagging over time than skin that usually stays covered. Collagen-stimulating threads lift sagging skin and encourage your body’s own collagen production, so daily sun protection becomes part of your treatment plan, helping preserve the collagen your skin already has while the threads support new growth.
We welcome clients from Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Port Orange, Edgewater, New Smyrna Beach, Holly Hill, South Daytona, Daytona Beach Shores, and Ponce Inlet.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do results last?
Up to around 12 months, though this varies. The threads themselves absorb within 6 to 8 months, while the collagen they stimulate continues contributing afterward.
Will it look like I have had something done?
That depends on placement. The threads are designed for precise lifting without over-pulling, and conservative technique is what keeps the result natural.
Can a non-surgical face lift replace a facelift?
No. Thread lifts address mild to moderate laxity. Significant descent is a surgical question, and you will be told which category you fall into.
Can a neck thread lift be done at the same time?
Often, yes. Whether the neck is treated alongside the face depends on your assessment, and sequencing is discussed at your consultation.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Often, though timing matters, since facial treatments are avoided for two weeks afterward. Sequencing is discussed at your consultation.
