What is Mint Thread Lifting?
In your 30s and 40s, visible signs of skin aging begin to emerge. Especially during dry and cold seasons, the skin tends to sag and lose elasticity. As you age, not only your skin but also your facial contours may change. That’s why starting anti-aging care early is essential. Today, let’s dive into the details of “Mint Thread Lifting.”
Mint thread lifting is a non-surgical lifting procedure that uses safe, body-friendly materials. The PDO (Polydioxanone) threads used in this procedure are inserted into the skin and naturally dissolve over time, ensuring safety. Mint threads have 360-degree barbs that provide strong holding power, and the thread thickness is consistent, offering better fixation and longer-lasting effects compared to regular threads. Over time, the threads stimulate the production of collagen and elastin within the skin, helping to reduce wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.
While there are various lifting procedures, non-surgical methods like laser lifting and thread lifting are the most common. Mint thread lifting is particularly popular because it overcomes the issues of weak fixation and short duration commonly associated with traditional dissolvable threads.
Who Should Consider Mint Thread Lifting?
This lifting procedure is especially effective for individuals with the following skin concerns:
- Deep nasolabial folds or sagging cheeks
- Loss of skin elasticity and noticeable sagging
- Blurry or undefined facial contours
- A preference for non-surgical lifting due to concerns about surgical procedures
- A desire to improve skin elasticity and promote collagen production
- Aiming to reduce a double chin and achieve a more defined jawline
People with such concerns can experience improved skin elasticity and wrinkle reduction through Mint thread lifting.
Procedure Time and Duration of Mint Thread Lifting
One major advantage of Mint thread lifting is the short procedure time of approximately 20 minutes. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, without the need for general anesthesia or fasting, allowing immediate return to daily activities. Bruising and swelling are minimal, and recovery is quick.
The lifting effect generally lasts 6–8 months, varying based on skin condition and the treated area. As the threads gradually dissolve within the body, collagen production continues, maintaining the lifting effect for a certain period. This ensures that the skin remains firm and resists sagging for an extended time post-treatment.
Best Combination Treatment
Mint thread lifting can be combined with other treatments to maximize results. For individuals concerned about facial fat or a double chin, combining Mint thread lifting with AccuSculpt is highly recommended. AccuSculpt uses laser technology to break down and gently remove unnecessary fat, enhancing facial contours. When paired with Mint thread lifting, it improves both skin elasticity and contours, delivering even more satisfying results.
Precautions
- Minimize skin irritation: Avoid using exfoliating or scrubbing products for one week after the procedure.
- Use lukewarm water: Cleanse your face with lukewarm water for three days post-treatment. Avoid hot water as it can irritate the skin.
- Apply sunscreen: Always use sunscreen when going outside. The skin may become more sensitive post-treatment, making sun protection crucial.
- Avoid high-temperature environments: Stay away from saunas or steam rooms for one week after the procedure.
- Refrain from alcohol and smoking: Avoid alcohol and smoking for a week to support skin regeneration.
- Hydrate the skin: Apply ample moisturizer to prevent dryness.
What Are the Side Effects?
Post-treatment, mild side effects like redness or swelling may occur. These symptoms typically subside naturally within a few hours to a few days and do not significantly interfere with daily life. However, for individuals with sensitive skin, these symptoms may last longer. It’s essential to follow pre- and post-procedure care instructions carefully.
