PDO sutures have been used in cardiovascular and orthopedic surgeries for over 30 years. The monofilament sutures or threads are made out of a complex sugar polydioxanone (PDO). They are used in cosmetic procedures to lift sagging jowls, nasolabial folds, eyebrows, and other areas where skin sags and droops. MINT™ is the only PDO suture in the US market to have received dual FDA clearances and is the only device of its kind to receive clearance for a lifting indication for nasolabial fold depth reduction.
PDO threads can be a fantastic alternative for those who are looking to address sagging skin through a minimally invasive procedure without invasive surgery, and at a fraction of the cost of a facelift. This treatment is safe for all skin types and ethnicities. The ideal patient will be in overall good health, fully understands the treatment process, and has reasonable expectations for their results.

The use of PDO threads has been shown to stimulate the production of new collagen, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. At the same time, the threads stimulate your skin to begin synthesizing elastin and hyaluronic acid, which are crucial when trying to achieve a more youthful appearance. Once the thread is inserted into the skin, the tiny barbs on the thread anchors onto sagging tissue and are then maneuvered to contour and define your natural features.
At Natural Beauty Aesthetix we only use MINT™ PDO Nonsurgical Threads. MINT™ stands for Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread. It is the first medical device of its kind to have dual FDA clearances: one for skin approximation and one for nasolabial fold depth reduction.
All patients will be administered a topical and local anesthetic before and during the treatment process. Due to the anesthetics provided, most patients feel no pain or discomfort during their treatments.
Before your treatment, you will have a one-on-one consultation with Sahar Taylor MSN, FNP-C who is our PDO Thread Master. During this appointment, she will examine your skin and review your medical history. She will explain the procedure, and what to expect from the treatment. If her assessment determines that PDO Threads are right for you, she will create a unique treatment plan that will ensure you receive safe and satisfying aesthetic results.
Most patients will experience some redness, swelling and minor discomfort after threads are placed. Some tenderness and bruising are possible, and you will be given specific after care instructions that must be followed to ensure effectiveness of the threads. Most side effects resolve within two to seven days.
Clients see a slight increase in volume, as well as a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles right away, but it may take 2-3 months for new collagen to form and the full effects to show. Your skin will continue to improve and results may last up to 2+ years. During that time, the skin’s youthful, held-together appearance will persist.
Treatments with MINT™ PDO take less than 2 hours to complete and changes can be seen instantly. The thread dissolves in 6-8 months and can stimulate your body to produce its own collagen to further improve the appearance of your skin. Results last for 12 - 24 months and the threads help stimulate the production of collagen as they dissolve to tighten and volumize the skin. There is minimal downtime involved and treatments can be repeated as necessary.
There are several factors that determine the cost of your PDO Thread lift including the number of threads used for the overall results you’d like to achieve. This can be discussed during your consultation with Sahar. We strive to make each session more affordable by accepting cash, all major credit cards, and healthcare financing through Cherry credit.
