What is Mint Lift?
Mint is originally abbreviated for Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Thread. Mint Lift is a powerful face lifting procedure that uses threads to effectively improve visible aging signs such as wrinkles, saggy skin, and fine lines.
For Mint Lift, the procedure utilizes PDO threads which are reported to be used widely in surgical sutures and are also claimed to be non-allergic and non-actigenic. The PDO threads are also unique as they have 360 degrees of 3D machine molded helical barbs; thus, making them strong for a great pulling effect. which will continue to have an effect for about 2 years until the thread is fully absorbed into the body.
Features of Mint Lift
The materials used to compose Mint thread are completely safe with USA-FDA approved and they are biodegradable, which means after some time beneath the skin, the threads are capable of dissolving completely, leaving no decayable residues which could risk bacterial infections later on.
How It Works
MINT Lift is a usually performed on the mid-face to restore the sharper jawline and V-line to restore your skin youthfulness.
This is done by insertion of absorbable thread subcutaneously using a syringe and fixing any skin flaccidity by pulling the threads up along your facial line. One of the ideal benefits worth mentioning for the treatment is that the procedure is non-incisional and hence you do not have to worry about scarring and prolong downtime.
