PCDC
LEARN ABOUT
Mesotherapy includes injecting FDA-approved drug, Phosphatidylcholine Deoxycholate (PCDC) micro-injections, into the specific treatment sites to breakdown excess fat. The PCDC drug absorbed by the fat cells, cause them to become mildly irritated and subsequently harden. The method not only nourishes the skin’s extracranial layers, but it also promotes the natural synthesis of collagen and elastin. PCDC injections improves the fullness, elasticity, and texture of the skin. The treatment results in a renewed glow and healthier look and permanent fat cell destruction.
RESULTS OF PCDC
Repeated fat dissolving injections are administered once every six to eight weeks until you achieve the desired appearance. Your specialist will advise you on the number of sessions they believe are necessary to achieve your goals. You won’t see results immediately after each procedure since your body needs time to naturally drain away from the dissolved fat deposits as part of the natural process it goes through after each course.
Patients who undergo PCDC can typically anticipate seeing results approximately four to six weeks after their initial treatment. It takes this amount of time for the body’s natural draining process to take place. However, this will also depend on other factors, such as the changes in lifestyle that you make in addition to the procedure to complement it. Most people will need at least two to three treatments to see their desired results.

What is MINTâ„¢ PDO & Is It Safe?MINTâ„¢ is an absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) barbed suture indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. With a decade worth of safety track record in surgery, PDO is a safe raw material that has been used for orthopedic and cardiovascular surgery for wound closure. As a safe raw material that is completely absorbed by the body through hydrolysis, PDO causes minimal tissue reaction and tissue trauma. Not only that, MINTâ„¢ is also backed by more than 6 years of clinical studies for its efficacy and safety and is the first and only PDO suture in the US market to have received two FDA clearances.

Is MINTâ„¢ FDA Cleared?In 2013, MINTâ„¢ received 510(k) clearance from the FDA as a Class II medical device, by demonstrating that the device to be marketed is safe and effective. MINTâ„¢ received global registrations for lifting indication from seven countries, such as the Korea MFDS, Europe CE, and China CFDA, to assure its excellent technological capabilities and reliable safety. In 2020, MINTâ„¢ became the only PDO suture in the US market to have received dual FDA clearances and is the only device of its kind to receive clearance for a lifting indication for nasolabial fold depth reduction.

How Does It Work?MINTâ„¢ PDO thread is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require general anesthesia nor big incisions for your patients. There are tiny barbs strategically placed and molded all around the thread. Once the threads are placed into the skin, the barbs anchor onto sagging skin, and the thread can be maneuvered to achieve a naturally youthful and defined look. Not only can it improve the appearance of sagging skin, PDO (polydioxanone) can also help promote the stimulation of collagen and neovascularization, which helps to improve skin elasticity, texture, fine lines, and volume for a timeless rejuvenation.

How is MINTâ„¢ Different From Cut Threads?Unlike conventional sutures that cut the barbs from the integral core of the thread, MINTâ„¢ is manufactured through an innovative patented technology where the barbs are press-molded on the surface of the thread to maintain its structural integrity. The 360 degrees of helically positioned barbs are designed to maximize tensile and anchoring strength in order to securely anchor onto the 3D structure of the soft tissue for effective and powerful approximation.
