MINT Thread Lift – EUGENES Skin Clinic (Apgujeong, Gangnam)

Subtle Lift, Crisp Contours—With Minimal Downtime

MINT PDO Thread Lift uses barbed, FDA-cleared PDO threads to elevate the cheeks, soften jowls, and refine the jawline while stimulating collagen for longer-lasting firmness. At EUGENES Skin Clinic, our doctor designs vector-specific plans for a natural, elegant lift—never over-pulled.

Why Choose EUGENES for MINT Threads

  • Doctor-performed mapping and insertion (no one-size-fits-all templates)
  • Natural-finish philosophy: soft lift, smooth motion, balanced expression
  • Vector design by zone: midface, jawline, nasolabial support, brow-tail (case-by-case)
  • Comfort-first approach with precise local anesthesia and gentle cannula work
  • Boutique privacy & English-friendly care for local and international patients

Who’s a Good Candidate

  • Early midface descent and mild jowls
  • Softening jawline or mild marionette lines
  • Desire non-surgical lift and structure
  • Healthy skin and realistic expectations (threads ≠ facelift)

How MINT Threads Work

  • Barbed PDO threads anchor into the tissue and elevate along planned vectors
  • Collagen stimulation around the threads improves firmness over weeks
  • Threads dissolve gradually—lift transitions into your own collagen support

Treatment Areas (Customized)

  • Midface/Cheek lift for youthful contour
  • Jawline & jowl softening for a cleaner angle
  • Nasolabial support (indirect vector)
  • Brow-tail lift (select candidates)
  • Neck refinement (adjunctive support)

What to Expect

  • Session time: ~30–60 minutes, depending on areas
  • Comfort: local numbing; brief tug/pressure sensations are common
  • Downtime: pinpoint swelling or tenderness 2–7 days; makeup usually next day
  • Activity: avoid heavy workouts and wide mouth opening 3–5 days

Results & Timeline

  • Immediate lift with further refinement at 2–6 weeks as swelling settles
  • Collagen effects develop over 6–12 weeks
  • Typical longevity: 9–12+ months (varies by skin, habits, and number of threads)
  • Touch-up threads can fine-tune symmetry or extend results

Aftercare

  • Sleep supine for several nights; avoid face-down/side pressure
  • No firm facial massage, dental work, or sauna ~2 weeks
  • Gentle cleansing + SPF 50+; pause strong actives if sensitive
  • Report unusual pain, blanching, or visible dimpling for prompt review

Best Combination Plans

  • Skin Tightening (HIFU / Thermage-class RF): improves envelope firmness
  • RF Microneedling / Laser Toning: pores, texture, fine lines
  • Micro-Contour Fillers: chin/jawline projection for profile harmony
  • Skin Boosters (HA/PN/Rejuran/Exosomes): glow and elasticity maintenance

Safety & Suitability

  • Not for active infection, pregnancy, uncontrolled systemic illness, or recent isotretinoin
  • Fitzpatrick-aware bruise/PIH prevention and sterile technique
  • Doctor inserts using cannula-first when appropriate to reduce vessel injury

FAQs

Will threads be visible?
No—entry points are tiny and threads sit under the skin along planned vectors.

Is there puckering?
Mild rippling can appear temporarily and typically smooths as tissue settles.

Can I combine with fillers the same day?
Often we sequence: lift first, then micro-filler 2–6 weeks later for polish.
