PDO Thread Lifts & MINT

Medical Spa & Aesthetics in Clifton, Ridgewood and Maywood, NJ

PDO Thread Lift services offered in Clifton, Ridgewood and Maywood, NJ

Refine early facial sagging with a PDO thread-lift consultation at Jeluja. MINT threads are one option for a subtle lift and contour change without a surgical facelift.

A subtle lift for selected concerns

PDO thread lifts use absorbable sutures placed beneath the skin to support and reposition selected tissue. They may suit mild sagging or early jowls when the desired change is modest. They do not remove excess skin or reproduce the result of a surgical facelift.

MINT PDO threads

MINT is a brand of polydioxanone threads with a molded barbed design. The threads provide mechanical support and are gradually absorbed. Thread choice and placement depend on facial anatomy and the intended change; the material alone does not determine the result.

What the appointment involves

The plan identifies the areas to be addressed and the degree of lift that is realistic. Treatment generally uses local anesthesia. Pressure, pulling or tenderness can occur, and recovery needs to be considered when planning around work or events.

Results and recovery

An early contour change may be visible, but swelling can affect the initial appearance. The result settles as healing progresses and is temporary. Duration varies with the treatment, tissue characteristics and continuing aging.

Bruising, swelling, tenderness and temporary irregularities may occur. Other possible complications include infection, persistent discomfort, asymmetry, dimpling or a thread becoming visible or exposed. Follow the supplied aftercare plan and contact the practice promptly if symptoms worsen.

How threads fit with other treatments

Threads focus on selected tissue position. Botox and fillers address different concerns, while microneedling focuses on selected skin-texture changes. A treatment plan may use more than one approach, with timing chosen to allow recovery and assess each result.
