Mint lift II mini S / mini S Flex is a powerful face lift procedure using threads to improve visible aging signs such as wrinkles, saggy skin and fine lines. For Mintlift ll mini S Flex, the procedure utilizes a combination of new ingredients: poly-L-Lactic acid (PLLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) for the thread to make it more flexible and durable; thus, this offers a more natural pull along the face line. The pulling effect will be continued by the threads for about 2 years until the thread is fully absorbed into the body.

1. Anesthesia will be given
2. Blunt lead spinal needle will be inserted into the treatment area
3. Mint lift mini S/ mini S Flex thread will be passed through the spinal needle
4. Spinal needle will then be removed
5. The end of thread will be pulled light to ensure that the thorn is hooked within the skin
