MINT Lift is a powerful face lift procedure using threads to improve visible aging signs such as wrinkles, saggy skin, and fine lines. 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.

During the procedure, local anesthesia will be administered before inserting the threads. The PCL threads will be preloaded into a sharp or blunt tip needle (also known as cannula) and the cannula will then be inserted into different layers of the skin. After that, the threads will be released into the skin from the cannula, and the excess threads will be cut off.

The thread left underneath the skin will stimulate collagen production as a natural way for the body to heal. Gradually, the thread will be dissolved by the body and collagen will continue to be produced in the process. The number of threads you need will depend on the condition of your skin. During consultation, it’s important to discuss your expectations so that the doctor can predetermine the number of threads needed to achieve your appearance goals.

PCL threads can last between 16 to 24 months, approximately 2 to 3 times longer-lasting than PDO threads.
