MINT™ is a safe, absorbable suture designed to approximate sagging tissue. Once the thread is inserted into the skin, the tiny barbs on the thread anchors onto sagging tissue and are then maneuvered to contour and define your natural features. The thread dissolves in 6-8 months and can stimulate your body to produce its own collagen to further improve the appearance of your skin.
faqs
MINT™ threads are made from a complex sugar polydioxanone or PDO – a safe suture material that has been used in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgeries for over 30 years. Not only that, MINT™ is also backed by more than 6 years of published studies for its safety and is the first PDO suture in the US market to have received three FDA clearances.
The procedure takes an average of 1 hour, and results can be seen immediately. Patients will experience minimal pain, minimal scarring, and minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures, and results will improve over time as the swelling, redness, and bruising go down.
After the procedure, you may immediately resume your daily activities. More intense activities such as exercise should be resumed after a week, but please consult with your provider beforehand.
Please schedule a consultation first to determine if you are an ideal candidate for MINT™ procedures. During the consultation, you should discuss what concerns you want to address and the look you desire so the provider can properly address the area of concern.
While one treatment may be enough for some, you may consider getting PDO threads another time. The threads dissolve completely in 6 to 8 months, so the treatment can be repeated as desired after consulting with your practitioner.
Yes! MINT™ is compatible with many other procedures, so you can take advantage of all the best things each treatment has to offer for synergistic effects. Target wrinkles with neuromodulators, restore volume with dermal fillers, address skin texture with laser treatments, and take care of sagging skin with MINT™.
Common side effects may include soreness, minor bruising, swelling and mild discomfort. If you experience any other complications or an extended period of the side effects, please consult with your provider. To avoid the risk of complications, we recommend that you verify your provider has received professional PDO thread training credentials.
While PDO threads are made of the same material, the manufacturing process of the thread itself varies from brand to brand. Conventional PDO threads cut the barbs from the integral core of the thread, which weakens it and makes it more prone to breakages. MINT™ uses an innovative patented technology to press-mold the barbs onto the surface of the thread to maintain its structural integrity.
A facelift is a great option for those with severe sagging skin and tissue who can invest in this long-term solution and time off to recover. The results of a facelift are drastic and can last up to ten years. In contrast, PDO threads can be a fantastic alternative for those who are looking to address sagging skin through a minimally invasive procedure without invasive surgery, and at a fraction of the cost of a facelift. The results are natural and instant with minimal downtime and trauma.
The body absorbs PDO threads in 6-8 months after insertion, but the results can last for up to one year as the threads can help stimulate collagen production in the skin. However, results will vary depending on the degree of sagging, thickness of the skin, and the facial structure of the patient.
The cost of PDO threads varies between clinics and the area of treatment. We recommend receiving an assessment from a provider to determine how much a treatment will cost.
Yes. PDO threads can help both men and women.
Providers will normally administer local anesthesia prior to the procedure. You may feel pressure during the insertion of the threads and/or hear the “clicking” sound of the threads, but you should feel minimal pain during the procedure.
PDO threads dissolve in 6-8 months after insertion and should not pose a problem for a patient who plans to get a facelift in the future. However, cases can vary greatly from patient to patient, so we recommend consulting with a provider who has experience with both PDO threads and facelifts.

Exosome treatments are based on the most cutting edge scientific biotech breakthrough for skin rejuvenation and regeneration. Exosomes are responsible for cell to cell communication and for facilitating the exchange of RNA and other important proteins between cells (e.g. fibroblasts, keratinocytes, immune cells, etc.), in addition to transferring numerous growth factors and cytokines and genetic materials that have shown signs of tissue repair and improving skin cells. These data coding avatars have been harnessed for our new line of exosome products to promote a more radiant youthful appearance.
Exosome treatments by Benev are a concentrated regenerative complex that can be delivered alongside treatments such as PRP therapy in order to help spur the growth of hair follicles as well as strengthen current hair follicles.

Costs are dependent on the area being treated. We recommend booking a consultation with one of our trusted providers to receive a more precise idea of cost based on the results you wish to see.
In just 1-3 sessions, Lumecca can improve the appearance of age spots, vascular lesions such as facial telangiectasias (spider veins), poikiloderma, rosacea, freckles and sun damage.
Lumecca is safe for all skin types. However, we do recommend to book a consultation with your local provider to see if Lumecca is right for you.
During the treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca that feels like the light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour.
Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards, the pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone. After treating vascular lesions you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a colour change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days?
Sun damage and skin complexion results can be seen a few days after the first session. The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with most visible results after 1-2 weeks.
Your practitioner will recommend the optimal number of sessions to be performed based on your personal objectives. Multiple sessions provide even better results. Treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings.
Results are dependent on your lifestyle and sun exposure. To maximise your results 50+ sunscreen is recommended.
Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reaction usually resolves within a few hours. You may find yourself sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning.
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment. Sun block should be used for 3 weeks following the treatment and 3 weeks preceding the next session. Avoid irritant topical agents for 2-3 days before treatment.

Exosomes are tiny buds that form on the outer wall of cells. These tiny messengers are the key to healthy cell function, growth, and regeneration. They promote cell to cell communication and are loaded with the critical growth factors the hair follicles need to continue to produce thick, healthy hair strands.
Balding is most often, genetically programmed. For men, it starts at the hairline, which recedes, and then advances to the crown. The hair follicles are unable to continue producing hair as they are affected by a specific hormone. With exosome treatments, this genetic programming can be changed so you continue to produce hair.
Hair restoration with NeoGraft involves harvesting and transplanting healthy hair follicles into a thinning or balding area. With the addition of the exosome treatment, you are providing the follicles with a super-charged set of growth factors to help them become healthy and producing in the new location.
The major role of exosomes is to carry the information by delivering various effectors or signaling molecules between specific cells.
Currently there are Lyophilized on Not Lyophilized exosome products available. The non-lyophilized products are unstable and need to be kept frozen and tend to be expensive. The Lyophilized products are more stable and can be manufactured in larger quantities which reduces the price without significantly decreasing the efficacy.
This depends on the clinical application of the exosome product, either topical use for rejuvenation or for injection for other indications. To determine the category of an exosome product look at the label claim and ingredient listing. Look into if the product is claiming to have live cells. The BENEV Exosome Regenerative Complex and Exosome Regenerative Complex + were developed for topical use for skin and scalp rejuvenation, the complex and scientific method of production ensures quality, efficacy and safety. Vials of Exosomes contain anywhere between 500K – 10 Billion particles, certain manufacturing processes may hinder this however a good stable lyophilized exosome product should yield between 2 Billion – 5 Billion particles per vial. A very important factor is the price of the Exosome products, non-lyophilized are very expensive at $800-$1300 per vial which hinders the attractiveness for use in skin rejuvenation treatments, a good quality lyophilized product is much more stable and less expensive.
Exosome Regenerative Complex and Exosome Regenerative Complex + are designed as a dual vial system consisting of 1 qty 20 mg vial of Lyophilized Exosomes, and 1 qty 5 mL vial of Diluent. The vial of Lyophilized Exosomes contains Lyophilized Exosomes, Growth Factors, Peptides, and Co-enzymes, and the vial of Diluent contains HA, Growth Factors, Amino Acids, and Minerals.
