MINT™ PDO THREADLIFT

 

MINT PDO THREADLIFT

The PDO Threadlift is a relatively quick and minimally invasive alternative to a surgical facelift. 

The procedure itself is designed to elevate, tighten and redefine the facial contours with immediate results.  

 The threads themselves contain tiny barbs for lifting and re-positioning the soft tissues. In addition to an immediate lifting effect, MINT threads stimulate the production of new collagen as the threads slowly break down in the body, causing the lifting to last for up to 12 months – more, in some cases!

MINT uses innovative patented technology in which the barbs are configured in a 360-degree helical pattern. These unique barbs securely anchor onto the 3D structure of the soft tissue from all directions for an effective and natural-looking pulling effect.

No cutting or incisions are involved; local anaesthetic is typically all that is required for patients to remain comfortable throughout the process.  

The threads integrate into the skin’s tissue and are inserted into the skin via a cannula and are pulled to produce a lifting effect. 

FAQ’s

  • The threadlift suitability isn't necessarily defined by a person's age. If you have sagging on the face/neck that you wish to improve you should arrange a consultation with Dr Chike to discuss your options. Facial threading is best suited for those who want to enhance their appearance without resorting to cosmetic surgery.

  • No – Dr Chike will inject the area with a local anaesthetic prior to commencing treatment making it completely pain free!

  • The PDO Threadlift is excellent for improving and lifting naso-labial folds, marionette lines, cheeks, jawline and double chins. Good results can also be achieved by lifting loose skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs and knees.

  • A MINT PDO thread lift can also be used in combination with dermal fillers for optimised lifting, volume and augmentation.

  • Before PDO Thread Lift treatment

    A week before your procedure:

    1. Avoid alcohol of any kind, as well as smoking. This will help speed your recovery and

    provide better treatment results.

    2. Stop taking vitamin E, supplements such as Fish Oil, Krill, Garlic, Chili Ginseng, Ginger &

    Green teas.

    3. Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Nurofen, Naproxen/Naprogesic should be avoided. Inform

    Dr Chike if you are taking any anti-inflammatory medications (e.g. Naproxen)

    or blood thinning medication (e.g. Warfarin).

    PDO Thread Lift – Aftercare

    1) Apply SPF30 and avoid direct sunlight and tanning machines in order to prevent Post-

    Inflammatory Hyper-pigmentation (PIH)

    2) Gently wash the treated areas on the same day but do not rub or massage the face for 2

    weeks.

    3) Do not open mouth too wide for 3-4 weeks (avoid dental treatment for 3 weeks if possible).

    4) A stinging or ‘pulling’ pain or discomfort is normal. Take paracetamol 500mg 1-2 tablets 6-

    hourly if required. Avoid taking any anti-inflammatory medication such as Nurofen, because

    inflammation is necessary to initiate the new collagen formation process. Nurofen and

    similar medication will suppress this process.

    5) Avoid alcohol and anti-coagulant medicine (aspirin, unless prescribed for medical

    indications) for 7 days.

    6) Avoid blood ‘thinning’ vitamins C & E for 7 days

    7) Avoid temperature extremes such as saunas or very cold climates for 10 days.

    8) Avoid physical exercise for 7 days post procedure.

    9) Avoid any heat producing device Radio Frequency (RF), HIFU/Ultherapy or (laser, IPL, etc.)

    treatments on the threads treated areas for at least 10 weeks.

    10) Anti-inflammatory medication may be taken after 7 days.

REVIEWS

Saw Dr Chike for my nose, as I didn't like the profile. All I can say is wow!!! I look amazing after my non-surgical nose job and I even got my lips done. Would recommend Chike to anyone.

“I originally went to get lip filler,however from the onset Dr Chike advised against it and advised me that cheek fillers would be more beneficial. Though I still got the lip filler,overall It didnt satisfy my concerns. I eventually had the cheek fillers and have been amazed and satisfied at the difference to my face. Its given me the volume, fresh youthful look I have been lacking. I am never disappointed and he knows instinctively what I like and what suits..”

I have been seeing Dr Chike for many years now and would not go or trust anyone else when it come to fillers and Botox. Results are natural and he will always be truthful on what to do or not. I love the results every time and trust his expertise for life ! Plus he is such a nice man - it is always nice seeing him. Very gentle, pain and bruise free !

- Marion K.

A brilliant experience from start to finish. Dr Chike knew exactly how to get my desired effects for my liquid rhinoplasty, and was confident throughout the entire procedure which helped to put me at ease. He was swift and very skillful. I am very happy with the results and with little to no pain.
He was also a great teacher to the staff member also present.
