What makes Mint threads distinctive
Mint threads are made from PDO, the same absorbable material described on our PDO thread lift page. Their key feature is the barb design: the barbs are moulded so they are arranged around the thread, intended to hold tissue firmly in several directions. Mint threads are typically thicker and stronger than fine mono threads, so they are used for lifting rather than skin texture.
What a Mint lift can and cannot do
A Mint thread lift can reposition mild to moderate sagging, for example softening jowls or lifting the mid-cheek, with an immediate change followed by gradual collagen support. It does not remove excess skin, and it is not a substitute for a surgical facelift in cases of significant laxity.
The procedure
- Consultation and mapping of lift vectors with you sitting upright.
- Local anaesthetic at small entry points, usually near the hairline or in front of the ear.
- Threads are guided under the skin with a cannula, then gently pulled to lift and trimmed.
- Entry points are cleaned; there are typically no stitches.
Mint threads and lower-face outlines
Mint threads are often used in V-line thread lifts and jawline thread lifts , and may be combined with energy-based lifting such as Ultherapy Prime . See all thread options on the Thread Lifting hub .
Aftercare
Some tightness, mild asymmetry or small skin dimples are common early and usually settle. For about two weeks avoid massage, wide mouth opening, dental treatment, saunas and strenuous exercise.

Are Mint threads different from regular PDO threads?
