PDO THREADLIFT

PDO THREADLIFT

MINT stands for Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread. These threads are placed under the skin and are designed to pull back sagging tissue in the face and neck. A thread lift is a great option if you are interested in a facelift but do not want to undergo invasive surgery. Dr. Afzal is the regional trainer for MINT PDO threads. In his experienced hands patients can get the look they are seeking without the unwanted downtime. Thread lifts can be done at our Edina and Fridley locations.

FAQ's

PDO thread lifts use tiny, biodegradable threads made of polydioxanone to lift and tighten aging skin. These threads tighten your skin from beneath it, stimulating collagen and elastin production without surgery.

Dr. Afzal is an expert in face and body threads. He’s a trainer for MINT™ PDO threads, training future providers on how to properly perform thread lift procedures.

Some of the benefits you can expect when choosing thread lifts at Afzal Clinics include:

  • Skin tightening
  • Smoother skin
  • Reduced signs of aging
  • Fewer lines and wrinkles

  • Minimal downtime

Thread lifts are a nonsurgical solution to traditional facelifts, giving you the dramatic, younger-looking appearance you desire.

To find out if you’re a candidate for PDO thread lifts at Afzal Clinics, your provider reviews your medical history and desired outcome with you. They also examine the skin on your face and body containing unwelcome signs of aging, such as lax skin and wrinkles. Your specialist then personalizes each treatment to give you the best possible results.

Right before thread lift procedures, your Afzal Clinics specialist numbs the treatment area to ensure you avoid discomfort. They move PDO threads underneath your skin in targeted areas to lift and tighten it, before securing the threads in place. 

After undergoing a PDO thread lift, you can resume a normal daily routine. However, you can expect some redness, swelling, and tenderness at the site of treatment. Ice the area, if needed, and take over-the-counter medicine to reduce any discomfort as the numbing wears off.

Over time, as your body generates new cells and the swelling goes down, you will notice the final results. Your body eventually absorbs the biocompatible threads and you can undergo repeat procedures in the future if necessary to maintain younger-looking results long term.
