Mint Threads



MINT™ stands for Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread. It is a revolutionary treatment that lifts and tightens sagging tissue for an instant and powerful rejuvenation. MINT™ is made of polydioxanone or PDO, a safe synthetic biodegradable monofilament that stimulates collagen production as it dissolves. Turn back the clock and restore the skin's firmness and elasticity with MINT™ PDO.

There are many ways to lift and adjust sagging skin. Fortunately, MINT threads provide an option for GAP patients; these are patients who are not entirely happy with dermal fillers or lasers and are not ready for a complete facelift.
Here are some areas in which Dr Young finds MINT is beneficial-

Treatable Concerns with PDO Threads-

  • Eyebrows: Reduce hooding / Improve asymmetry/ Create fox eye look
  • Cheeks: Lift and restore facial volume / Contour cheekbones
  • Nasolabial Folds: Lighten smile lines / Restore volume to sunken areas
  • Jawline: Lift and tighten / Reduce jowls / Contour facial line
  • Neck: Lift and tighten / Improve double chin / Reduce lines

A complete 3D facial assessment will assist with the planning, and then the correct entry and exit points, with optimal Vectors, are planned.


These vectors and planning are vital to your results; the safety of your treatment is also paramount.


This procedure takes about one hour and is performed in sterile conditions under local anesthetic.
