FAQs
What is a MINT Thread Lift?
A MINT Thread Lift is a non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedure that uses patented thread technology, composed of PDO (polydioxanone – a biocompatible, collagen-stimulating material) to lift and tighten sagging skin. It is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery.
How does the MINT Thread Lift work?
MINT threads are inserted under the skin. They have small barbs that help anchor and lift tissue to the desired position. Over time, the threads dissolve, but also stimulate collagen, which holds the lift in the area treated, up to 2 years.
Who is a suitable candidate for a MINT Thread Lift?
Ideal candidates for a MINT Thread Lift are individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, usually in their 30s to 60s, looking for a non-surgical solution to address sagging facial tissues.
Is the procedure painful?
A MINT Thread Lift is typically well-tolerated by most patients. Local anesthesia is used to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Patients may experience some mild aching and tenderness for a few days following the treatment.
What is the down time after a MINT Thread Lift?
Most patients can resume their normal activities within a day or two. Swelling and dimpling can last up to 2 weeks, but improves each day. It’s advisable to avoid strenuous or high-impact exercise and excessive facial movements for 2-4 weeks following the procedure.
How long do results last?
Results can last anywhere from 1 to 2 years, depending on individual factors like age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Regular touch-up treatments can help maintain the effects.
Can I combine a MINT Thread Lift with other treatments?
Yes. A MINT Thread Lift can be combined with other non-surgical treatments like dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your practitioner can discuss suitable options during the consultation.
