MINT Lift® is a Minimally Invasive Non-surgical Thread, an absorbable PDO (Polydioxanone) thread system designed for non-surgical facial lifting and soft tissue fixation. It provides immediate mechanical support while also stimulating collagen production over time.

MINT Lift® is inserted beneath the skin using a needle or cannula. The barbed structure anchors into the subdermal tissue, creating an immediate lifting effect. Over time, the threads gradually dissolve while stimulating collagen production, helping improve skin firmness and elasticity.

360° Press-Molded Barb Technology (Patented Helical Structure) Barbs are formed without compromising the thread core, preserving tensile strength. The 360° helical configuration enables multidirectional anchoring and stable tissue fixation. MFDS Approval – Facial Soft Tissue Fixation (South Korea) Approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) under the indication of facial soft tissue fixation, positioning MINT Lift® as a fixation-based lifting system.

MINT PDO Threads are made of polydioxanone (PDO), a safe and absorbable material widely used in medical sutures. When performed by a qualified doctor, the procedure is generally considered safe.  Temporary swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort may occur and usually resolve within a few days.

Most clinics apply local anesthesia before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Patients may feel mild pressure or a pulling sensation, but significant pain is uncommon. Some soreness or tenderness may occur afterward and typically improves within a few days.

You may notice an immediate lifting effect right after the procedure. Results continue to improve over the following weeks as the body produces new collagen around the threads. Final results typically become more noticeable within 4–8 weeks.

Results typically last around 12 months, depending on individual aging patterns, skin condition, and lifestyle. Some patients may choose maintenance treatments to help prolong their results.

Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days. Mild swelling or bruising may occur and usually resolves within a week. Strenuous exercise should be avoided briefly, as advised by your doctor.

Ideal candidates are individuals in their late 20s and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity and want a natural-looking lift without surgery. It may not be suitable for individuals with significant skin sagging, who may benefit more from surgical options. A consultation with a qualified doctor is recommended to determine suitability.

Most side effects are mild, such as swelling or bruising. Rarely, threads may migrate, become visible, or cause asymmetry if not placed correctly. Choosing an experienced doctor significantly reduces these risks.

A thread lift is non-surgical, with quicker recovery and fewer risks than a traditional surgical facelift. However, the lift is generally more subtle and less permanent than surgical results. It is ideal for individuals seeking a natural lift without undergoing surgery.
