Mint Thread Lifting

Service Description

What is Mint Thread Lifting Mint Thread Lifting is a high-performance, non-surgical lifting treatment using FDA-approved PDO cog threads with barbs designed to anchor and lift sagging skin immediately. Unlike smooth threads (like those used in Ultra V), Mint threads provide a mechanical lifting effect by physically repositioning the tissue, while also stimulating collagen for long-term firmness and elasticity. This procedure is ideal for patients seeking stronger lifting results on areas with moderate to severe sagging, such as the jawline, nasolabial folds, or cheeks—without undergoing surgical facelift procedures.
