U-line jaw, undefined contour
Helps turn a U-line into a V-line and defines a contour that isn't well defined.
The principle, in plain words
How does MINT Thread Lift work?
MINT threads have small barbs that hold your tissue and lift it. As the thread dissolves, your skin builds collagen that keeps the area firm.
The protruding barbs on the MINT thread rotate 360 degrees to anchor facial tissue, adding firmness to the skin. The barbs continue to stimulate the dermis where the thread is placed, and as the thread dissolves in the skin, it promotes collagen regeneration. Fibrosis that develops in the dermis afterward pulls the sagging area upward, firming the skin, softening wrinkles, and helping maintain a youthful look.
