Thread Lifts

Fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, jowling – these are all words we hear and associate with aging. Once upon a time surgical facelifts were the only way to improve and achieve facial rejuvenation and a more youthful appearance.

New technologies continually evolve and become available and now with MINT Thread Lifts, you can achieve a sculpted, more contoured, refreshed version of yourself in as little as 30 minutes.

A MINT thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses absorbable threads to redefine and restore lost elasticity and volume in the face for a youthful appearance. These thread lifts cause tension in the skin which gives and immediate lifting effect. Secondly the material that the threads are made from stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid which creates firmer skin.

The MINT Thread Lift can be used to treat many different areas of the face:

Facial contour: this redefines the contour of the face, firming up the skin and giving a fuller look to the cheeks
Lower jaw: the contour of the face regains definition and cheeks are redefined
Neck: this provides more definition and a stronger contour giving a sleeker appearance
Cheeks and cheekbones: the cheeks and cheekbones appear fuller and the nasolabial fold is reduced
Eyebrows: this opens up the eyes, and raises the outer edge of the eyebrow

WHAT DOES A THREAD LIFT TREATMENT INVOLVE?

Once the thread is in place, slight compression of the treatment area is performed to reshape it by hand and to obtain the desired lifting effect and skin tightening.

The treatment takes approximately 30-60 minutes.
