MINT Thread Lift
MINT threads are absorbable lifting threads used to lift skin and smooth wrinkles.
DetailsKorean Thread Lift Treatment
Thread lifting uses medical threads that dissolve naturally in the body to lift sagging skin and restore volume and elasticity. Based on an analysis of your facial structure, we select the right thread for you — MINT, Jamber, or Olziuge — and customize the thread's direction, depth, and number. As the threads integrate into the skin, they support new collagen production, so you get a lifting effect along with improved volume and elasticity.

How it helps
Sagging skin
Threads lift sagging skin and support it from within.
The principle, in plain words
How does Thread Lift work?
Medical threads are placed under the skin to lift it. They dissolve naturally, and the collagen your skin builds around them stays to support it.
Inserting the threads creates micro-injuries in the skin. As these heal, fibroblasts activate and collagen production increases. The new collagen surrounds the threads, supporting the skin from within. The threads themselves break down and absorb naturally over time, while the collagen that formed around them remains to help maintain elasticity.
