Cog thread lift

Mint threads are made from polydioxanone, or PDO, which is chemically defined as a sugar derivative. Polydioxanone is a biodegradable material that has been used for over 30 years in orthopaedics and cardiovascular surgery. Mint products have been scientifically studied for more than six years.

In the US, Mint treatments have three FDA approvals. Although FDA approval is not required in the European Economic Area, it is relevant. FDA approval requires much more research data than, say, CE marking in the EU.

Mint cog threads firm and lift sagging tissue. When the thread is inserted into the skin, the tiny spines of the thread adhere to the tissue. By shaping and lifting the threads, it is possible to lift skin that has sagged over the years.

PDO and Cog threads completely disintegrate in 6-8 months, but the collagen network that replaces the threads continues to improve the quality and appearance of the skin even after the threads have disintegrated.

The procedure takes an average of one hour, and the first results are immediate. Results improve over time as the side effects of the first few days subside and the skin's own collagen synthesis gets going.

After the procedure, you can immediately resume your daily activities. You should take a break from intense physical activity for about a week.

After the treatment, we will provide you with written aftercare instructions. It is important that you follow them scrupulously.

This will be determined during a free consultation to assess whether you are a suitable candidate for Mint treatments. During the consultation, it is important to openly discuss your aesthetic concerns and desired results. This allows our professional to provide a realistic evaluation of how well meso or cog threads may suit your needs.

You can repeat the treatment, for example, a year after the initial procedure. However, the best results are often achieved by combining different aesthetic treatments. A comprehensive approach may include biorevitalizing the skin with PDO threads, lifting sagging features with cog threads, contouring facial structures with fillers, and addressing age-related changes with botulinum treatments. The synergistic effect of combining various treatments ensures that the overall outcome is greater than the sum of its parts.

Common side effects can include soreness, bruising, swelling and mild discomfort. If the side effects are prolonged or you develop a high fever, it is a good idea to contact the person who is administering the treatment. To avoid the risk of complications, you should definitely have the treatment carried out by a healthcare professional who is specifically trained in Mint treatments.

• All PDO threads on the market are made from the same material, but the manufacturing process varies from brand to brand.
• Mint threads use an innovative patented technology that makes them highly durable despite their biodegradability.
• For Europeans, the FDA approval granted to the pdo threads in the United States is above all a testament to the long-term scientific research that has gone into the product range.
• Aesthetic treatments that have been scientifically studied can be justifiably considered more effective and safer than the average.

PDO threads break down in the skin after 6-8 months of treatment, but the results can last up to a year as a collagen network forms in place of the threads.

It is worth remembering that the duration of results varies. The thickness of the skin, the amount of ageing changes, lifestyle and age have a big influence on how long the results of the treatment will last.

PDO threads and Cog threads are priced according to the number of threads and thread type. During your free consultation, you will find out how much your particular treatment would cost.

A free consultation does not oblige you to come for treatment.
