A MINT Mono Thread is a type of minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that uses Polydioxanone (PDO) threads to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. The threads are 10mm, 30mm and 50mm, depending on the area being treated.
It’s often referred to as a “non-surgical facelift.”
How it works:
Benefits:
The ideal candidate for a thread lift is the younger patient (30 to 50 years of age) who has not had sufficient response from volumising and / or botulinum toxin treatments and are looking to help stop facial sagging. Some of the common areas suitable for a thread lift include the following:
The treatment is designed to elevate and realign sagging tissue. MINT Mono Thread Lifts can be used to lift the face, tighten the jaw line to combat ‘jowling’ and to lift the brow. They work especially well on the mid face and can also be used with good effect on the neck.
Common areas for younger patients include the cheeks and brows since these areas are usually the first to experience sagging. When inserted under the skin the specially designed threads fix to the tissue to gently lift and enhance the natural contours of the face.
The procedure is relatively straightforward and minimally invasive. Here’s a general outline:
Key points:
It’s important to note that this is a general overview, and the specific procedure may vary depending on the individual and the treatment area.
Recovery time for a treatment is generally quite short. Most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days.
Here’s a breakdown:
Important note: It’s crucial to follow your practitioner’s aftercare instructions carefully to minimise discomfort and optimise results. This usually includes avoiding strenuous activity, excessive heat (like saunas or hot tubs), and harsh skincare products for a certain period.
You’ll start to see immediate results after the MINT Mono Thread procedure. The threads themselves will provide an instant tightening effect.
However, the most significant and long-lasting results come from collagen production, which is stimulated by the threads. This process takes time.
Remember, individual results may vary. Factors such as skin type, age, and the number of threads used can influence the timeline.
The cost of this procedure varies according to the areas that require treatment and whether the area is treated alone or in conjunction with other areas. (This is most common).
