MINT PDO Thread Lifts: A Non-Surgical Facelift Solution
The MINT PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive, safe, and effective procedure offering a global facial lift without the risks or significant downtime associated with traditional surgery. It’s a straightforward and relatively painless treatment, providing pleasing results for approximately 18 months.
MINT™ PDO threads are a rapidly popular alternative to surgical facelifts, underpinning trends like the “cat eye,” “V-line,” and “snatched jawline.” Their innovative, patented technology features press-molded barbs in a 360-degree helical pattern, making them the most robust threads available. This revolutionary design allows for instant, yet profound results while minimising pain and trauma, leading to shorter recovery times. This makes MINT PDO an ideal option for those seeking a non-surgical solution or who aren’t ready for surgery.
This non-surgical facelift tackles prominent signs of ageing without incisions. Anchoring sutures are gently placed under the skin using a fine cannula to elevate sagging tissue and lift problem areas. We use anaesthetic to ensure the procedure is comfortable. MINT™ threads are made from absorbable polydioxanone (PDO), a safe raw material with a decade-long safety track record in orthopaedic and cardiovascular surgery for wound closure. PDO is completely absorbed by the body through hydrolysis, causing minimal tissue reaction or trauma.
A full MINT PDO thread non-surgical facelift starts from £1500, suitable for both male and female clients. Part facelifts, such as a jawline lift, begin at £900.
