MINT

MINT thread lift with dense cogs that pull and lift.

About Procedure

About MINT

MINT thread is a dissolvable PDO (polydioxanone) thread whose surface barbs (cogs) grip sagging tissue and lift it upward.

As the thread dissolves, it also stimulates surrounding collagen production, so you can expect improved firmness along with the lift.

At SIA Clinic Gangnam, we treat the deep cheeks, jawline and nasolabial area with 1-, 4-, 6- or 10-thread options, and also offer forehead/brow MINT thread and full-face MINT thread packages.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  How many threads do I need?
It depends on the degree of sagging and the area; one side of the jawline or deep cheek typically requires 4–6 threads or more.
Q.  How long do the results last?
Results vary, but thanks to the collagen produced as the threads dissolve, effects generally last several months or longer.
Q.  How long does swelling last?
Swelling and tightness may last about 3–7 days and gradually settle.
Q.  How is it different from I-Thread?
Both are cog threads, but they differ in structure and holding strength. We'll recommend the right thread based on your degree of sagging.
