Rejuvenation Threads
What Is A MINT Mono PDO Threads And What Can They Achieve?
Mint Mono PDO threads are a colorless bioresorbable artificial polymer which undergoes complete hydrolytic degradation. MINTTM is an absorbable polydioxanone (PPO) suture indicated for use in soft tissue approximation and has a 30 year long safety track record for use in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgery and for wound closure.
As a safe raw material that is completely absorbed by the body through hydrolysis, PDO causes minimal tissue reaction and tissue trauma.
MINTTM is Australian TGA approved and backed by clinical studies for its efficacy and safety.

What Results Can You Expect?
Immediate results can be seen once the threads have been inserted, however, the results will improve over the next 3-6 months. The PDO suture material on the MINT threads is gradually degraded and absorbed by your body over 6-9 months. The results are expected to last 12-24 months.
