Everything You Need to Know Before Getting a Non-Surgical Thread Lift

If you have been exploring non-surgical ways to support facial structure, skin lifting and skin quality, you may have come across PDO threads or MINT threads. These treatments are becoming trusted and more discussed, but there is still a lot of confusion around what they are, who they are for, and what the experience is really like.

Education always comes first at Citrus Aesthetics. Before any patient considers PDO thread lift treatments, the Citrus team believes it is important to for you to understand what threads are, what to expect before and after, and how to choose an ethical, physician led med spa. This guide is designed to help patients feel informed, confident, and supported before booking a consultation.

What Are PDO Threads and MINT Threads

PDO threads and MINT threads are types of medical- grade threads that have been used in aesthetic medicine for many years. They are commonly discussed as part of a broader category of facial lifting treatments and collagen boost-focused treatments.

At Citrus Aesthetics, PDO thread lifts and MINT thread conversations are always approached thoughtfully and ethically. Rather than positioning threads as a quick fix or dramatic change, Citrus frames them as one of several options that may support skin structure and appearance depending on the patient’s goals.

PDO threads are often discussed in relation to collagen support, while MINT threads are known for their design and structure. What matters most at Citrus Aesthetics is not the trend, but whether the option makes sense for the individual patient after a personalized consultation.

Why Patients Consider PDO Thread Lift Options

Many patients who visit Citrus Aesthetics are looking for non-surgical ways to feel refreshed while still looking like themselves. PDO thread lift and MINT thread treatments are often explored by patients who value subtlety, balance, a lifted appearance and natural looking support rather than dramatic changes.

Citrus Aesthetics is very clear about ethical care. Threads are never positioned as necessary or right for everyone. Instead, they are discussed as one possible option within a broader facial lift conversation that focuses on long term skin health, lifestyle, and realistic expectations.

This patient-first mindset is part of what makes Citrus Aesthetics different. Education always comes before treatment decisions.

What to Expect During a Citrus Aesthetics Consultation

At Citrus Aesthetics, consultations are never rushed. Patients are given time to ask questions, share concerns, and understand what PDO threads or MINT threads involve at a high level without pressure.

Jessica and the Citrus team value transparency and integrity. That means discussing what threads are commonly used for, what the general experience may feel like, and what recovery time may involve, without promising outcomes or teaching procedural details.

This approach is supported by guidance from trusted aesthetic organizations that emphasize informed consent, ethical oversight, and patient education as core standards of care.

Thread Recovery and Downtime What Patients Should Know

Thread downtime is an important part of the conversation at Citrus Aesthetics. While recovery experiences vary from patient to patient, Citrus ensures that every patient receives clear expectations and thoughtful aftercare guidance.

Rather than minimizing downtime or oversimplifying recovery, Citrus Aesthetics prioritizes honesty and realistic expectations. Patients are encouraged to plan conservatively, ask questions, and allow their bodies time to adjust. This ethical approach aligns with best practices supported by physician-led aesthetic communities and medical spa safety standards.

Follow-up care and availability are also part of the Citrus difference. Patients are never left feeling unsure or unsupported after a visit.

Collagen Boost Conversations at Citrus Aesthetics

PDO threads are often discussed in relation to collagen boost support. At Citrus Aesthetics, these conversations are framed realistically and responsibly. Instead of promising changes, Citrus focuses on education around how skin naturally changes over time and how certain treatments may support overall skin quality.

Jessica is very intentional about language. Citrus Aesthetics does not guarantee the same outcomes or treatments for every patient. The focus is always on ethical care, informed decisions, and aligning treatments with a patient’s comfort level, goals and values.

This thoughtful approach is one reason many patients feel safe trusting Citrus Aesthetics with their care.

Why Ethics Matter When Choosing Threads

Not all med spas approach PDO thread lift or MINT thread treatments the same way. At Citrus Aesthetics, ethics are not an afterthought. They are the foundation.

Jessica has built Citrus on transparency, physician oversight, and patient education. Treatments are never positioned as trends or quick solutions. Instead, Citrus Aesthetics emphasizes trust, safety, and long-term relationships with patients.

Credible aesthetic organizations consistently highlight the importance of medical leadership, proper training, and patient-centered communication. Citrus Aesthetics aligns closely with these values, which is why patients often describe the experience as calming, respectful, and empowering. Providers at citrus are nationally and internationally trained so they are highly competent to get you natural and safe results as well as minimized the risk of adverse effects, so you can trust that you are in great hands with your Aesthetic treatments.

What sets Citrus Aesthetics apart is not just the treatments offered, but how they are offered. Every PDO thread lift or MINT thread conversation is grounded in listening, integrity, and care.

Patients are never upsold or rushed. Questions are welcomed. Anxiety is acknowledged. Comfort matters. This culture is intentional and led directly by Jessica’s commitment to ethical aesthetics.

Citrus Aesthetics believes that trust is earned through consistency, honesty, continued education and training for providers and putting patients first every single time.
