About This Treatment
MINT lift uses absorbable PDO threads with 360-degree barbs to mechanically reposition mid/lower facial tissue and support collagen formation during absorption.
It is best for mild-to-moderate laxity rather than surgical-level lifting.
Mechanism of Action
Barbs grip subcutaneous tissue for immediate lift; PDO biodegradation induces fibroplasia and neocollagenesis.
Indications
Sagging / contourGeneral indication (see detailed description)Nasolabial / marionette lines
Expected Results
Contour change is immediate but best assessed after swelling settles at 2-4 weeks. Duration is often 6-12 months depending on tissue and technique.
