MINT™ PETIT

MINT™ PETIT (PDO Lifting Threads)

The Precision Tool for Micro-Contouring and Targeted Lifting.

Redefine facial features with the precision of MINT™ PETIT. Part of the world-renowned MINT™ (Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread) family, the Petit version is a specialised PDO (Polydioxanone) thread designed for detailed work. Utilising patented 360-degree helical moulded barbs, it provides superior anchoring and tensile strength, allowing for a powerful lift in areas where larger threads are too bulky.

What Is It?

MINT™ PETIT is a bi-directional, barbed PDO thread. Unlike "cut" threads that can be weak, MINT™ threads are press-molded, which preserves the integrity of the core while creating robust barbs. The "Petit" model features a specific barb distribution and length, making it the gold standard for micro-contouring, brow lifting, and localised tissue repositioning.

How It Works

• Instant Mechanical Lift: Once inserted into the subcutaneous tissue, the 3D barbs anchor into the sagging skin, allowing the practitioner to physically lift and reposition the tissue.
• Biostimulation: As the PDO material naturally dissolves over several months, it triggers the body’s natural response to produce new collagen and elastin.
• 360° Anchoring: The helical (spiral) barb design ensures that the thread grips the tissue from all angles, providing a secure hold and minimizing the risk of migration.

Who Is It For?

MINT™ PETIT is specifically designed for practitioners targeting:

• The "Fox Eye" & Brow Lift: Raising the tail of the eyebrow for an open, refreshed look.
• Mid-Face Micro-Contouring: Smoothing out early jowling or defining the jawline.
• Nasolabial & Marionette Lines: Providing targeted tension to "unfold" moderate creases.
• Localised Refinement: Ideal for areas where a full-length lifting thread is unnecessary.

Key Technical Specifications

• Material: Polydioxanone (PDO), a safe, biodegradable polymer.
• Barb Design: 360-degree, 3D Helical Molded Barbs for maximum grip.
• Cannula Type: Designed for smooth, trauma-free insertion with high patient comfort.
• Tensile Strength: Significantly stronger than conventional cut threads due to the molding process.
