MINT

PDO THREADS

Mint PDO threads” refers to a type of non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses polydioxanone (PDO) threads under the brand MINT™ (Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread). These threads are inserted under the skin to provide a lifting and tightening effect, stimulating collagen production for improved skin texture and firmness over time.
