MINT = Minimally Invasive Non-surgical Thread
Mint Mono PDO threads are a colourless bioresorbable polymer which undergoes complete hydrolytic degradation.
IN OTHER WORDS = Mint threads are an absorbable suture used in soft tissue for skin tightening.
Once inserted in the skin, the MINT threads are designed to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Mono PDO threads may help with elasticity and vitality of the skin, as well as brighten its tone and address concerns around the appearance of minor wrinkles. The embedded threads gradually dissolve over a period of three to four months. Results can take 6 – 12 weeks to see the final outcome and are expected to last 9 – 12 months. *Results may vary per patient.
The most common areas it is used in are –
- Neck
- Jowls
- Jaw line
- Naso jugal folds
- Nasolabial folds
- Crow’s feet
- Undereye area
- Eyebrows

We do advise patients this treatment is not necessarily painful – but not pain free. There are needles involved and some discomfort may be experienced. Our experienced practitioner will apply a topical numbing cream 30 minutes prior to commencing – to ensure minimal discomfort during treatment. Treatment time can vary depending on the number of threads and area. You can expect the treatment to take 30 – 45 minutes in addition to the numbing time. Normal reactions post treatment include; bruising, swelling, tenderness and small lumps. This may vary patient to patient and usually resolves in approximately two weeks.
