MINT lift®
The procedure is carried out by our dermatologist Dr Ken Macdonald. The price for MINT threadlift starts from $2,700 with Dr Ken Macdonald.
A Mint Thread lift is a non-invasive, non-surgical alternative to a cosmetic facelift. It involves placing a special fine thread containing minuscule lifting barbs into the facial area which tighten up the entire skin on the face, counteracting the sagging forces of gravity.
How does it work?
MINT PDO thread is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require general anaesthesia or big incisions. It is introduced into the deeper layers of the skin, and the helically moulded barbs on the MINT PDO anchors onto the sagging tissue, and the thread is lifted upwards to achieve an instant, rejuvenating & contouring effect.
Side effects
Thread lifts are low risk, thanks to how non-invasive they are. There is virtually no risk of scarring, severe bruising, bleeding or other complications after having a thread lift. In rare cases, patients may experience irritation, infection or their sutures becoming visible under their skin. Although minimal, side effects may include but are not limited to bruising, dimpling, and swelling.
If this occurs, however, the sutures can simply be removed and the patient's face will return to its prior state.
Recovery
After the procedure, patients may immediately return to daily lives, but they should consult with their physicians before resuming exercise and other intense activities.
How long does it last?
Like all threads, it promotes collagen in the treated areas, and dissolves around 6-9 months after insertion with lifting effects lasting for around one-two years.
Patients may also experience improvement in skin texture, fine lines, and elasticity from collagen stimulation and neovascularization. As a result, after about 6-8 months when MINT PDO is completely dissolved by the body into water and carbon dioxide, the results will last for about 3-6 months more due to the collagen stimulation. With minimal scarring and downtime, it is an amazing option for patients looking into achieving instant and natural-looking results.
