If you’re starting to notice sagging skin or a loss of firmness that’s making you feel older, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to settle. At RenuYou MedSpa & Wellness Center in Ames, IA, we help men and women who want to age gracefully and confidently. That’s why we offer PDO thread treatments using MINT® Lifting Threads and Smooth Threads — a minimally invasive way to lift and tighten skin without surgery or prolonged downtime.
Many clients notice a subtle, natural-looking lift immediately. Over time, these threads stimulate collagen production, gradually firming and smoothing your skin for a more vibrant appearance that still feels like you.
MINT® PDO Thread Options
MINT® Lifting Threads
These advanced threads have tiny barbs that anchor beneath the skin to lift sagging areas such as the jawline, neck, and brows. They provide instant support and encourage long-term collagen growth for enhanced firmness.
MINT® Smooth Threads
Ideal for skin quality improvement rather than lifting, these threads tighten the surface, stimulate collagen, minimize fine lines, and enhance skin texture over time.
Common Conditions Treated with PDO Threads
- Sagging skin on the face, neck, and jawline

- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Hollow or sunken areas like cheeks and temples
