MINT Lift uses absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) threads, a synthetic, biodegradable material widely used in medical sutures. Its specially designed barbs help anchor and support facial tissues.

MINT Lift uses PDO threads with patented 360° helical barbs that anchor to soft tissue and provide mechanical lifting support. As the threads gradually dissolve, they may also encourage collagen production.

Results are temporary and vary between patients. The manufacturer describes lifting effects lasting up to approximately one year, although longevity depends on individual factors and treatment technique.

An initial lifting effect may be visible immediately after treatment. The appearance continues to settle as swelling subsides, with more developed results typically seen over the following weeks.

Local anesthesia is commonly used to minimize discomfort. Patients may experience pressure or pulling sensations during treatment, followed by temporary soreness or tenderness.

Some swelling, bruising, and tenderness may occur. Many patients can resume light daily activities within several days, although complete healing may take a few weeks.

MINT Lift may be used to address selected concerns involving the cheeks, jawline, jowls, nasolabial folds, eyebrows, and neck, depending on the thread model and physician's assessment.

MINT Lift may be appropriate for adults experiencing mild to moderate facial tissue laxity who want a minimally invasive lifting treatment. Suitability depends on facial anatomy, medical history, and individual treatment goals.

Many patients undergo a single treatment session initially. Additional treatments may be considered depending on the desired outcome, degree of tissue laxity, and physician's recommendations.

Yes. MINT Lift may be incorporated into a personalized aesthetic treatment plan alongside selected skin treatments or injectables. Appropriate combinations and treatment intervals should be determined by a qualified physician.

MINT Lift is designed for use by trained medical professionals. As with any thread lifting procedure, potential complications include bruising, swelling, infection, asymmetry, visible or protruding threads, and unfavorable results.

Yes. MINT Lift can help reposition selected lower facial tissues, improving the appearance of jowls and jawline definition in suitable patients.

PDO threads may stimulate collagen formation as part of the tissue response, helping support gradual changes in skin firmness and texture.

No. MINT Lift threads are made from absorbable PDO material that gradually breaks down over time.

A MINT Lift procedure may take approximately one hour, although treatment time depends on the number of threads, areas treated, and the individual treatment plan.

The treatment aims to achieve balanced, natural-looking lifting through controlled tissue repositioning. Results depend on facial anatomy, thread placement, treatment technique, and individual healing.

Patients may be advised to avoid excessive facial pressure, vigorous exercise, facial massage, and activities that create significant facial movement during early recovery. Follow the physician's specific aftercare instructions.

No. MINT Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that provides temporary lifting and tissue support. A surgical facelift involves more extensive tissue repositioning.

Yes. Selected MINT thread techniques can reposition facial tissues to help reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds. The degree of improvement depends on facial structure and the underlying cause of the folds.

MINT Lift features patented press-molded barbs arranged in a 360° helical pattern. This design helps the threads anchor to surrounding soft tissues while preserving the structural integrity of the thread core.
