MINT™ UP

MINT™ UP (PDO Lifting Threads)

The Intensive Solution for Heavy Tissue & Advanced Lifting.

Take facial rejuvenation to the next level with MINT™ UP. While other threads are designed for general lifting, the "UP" model is engineered for patients requiring a more substantial mechanical pull. It is specifically designed to handle thicker skin and heavier tissue, providing a high-strength vertical lift that restores the youthful V-line shape to the lower face and mid-face with unmatched security.

What Is It?

MINT™ UP is a robust, bi-directional PDO (Polydioxanone) thread that utilises MINT’s patented 360-degree helical moulded barbs. What sets the "UP" version apart is its optimisation for maximum vertical tension. It features a specialised barb configuration designed to anchor deeply into the subcutaneous fat layers, making it the primary choice for "lifting up" sagging jowls and heavy malar (cheek) fat pads.

How It Works

• Superior Vertical Lift: The bi-directional barb design allows the thread to anchor at both ends, creating a powerful "cinch" effect that pulls sagging tissue upward.
• Moulded Barb Integrity: Unlike cut threads that can "peel" or lose grip under pressure, MINT™ UP barbs are moulded as part of the thread core, ensuring they hold firm even in heavier tissue.
• Enhanced Anchoring: The thread provides a larger surface area for tissue engagement, preventing the "cheese-wire" effect and ensuring a smooth, even lift.
• Long-Term Biostimulation: As the PDO material is absorbed, it induces a significant collagen response, creating a lasting internal support structure.

Who Is It For?

MINT™ UP is the preferred tool for practitioners addressing:

• Moderate to Severe Jowling: Lifting the heavy skin at the jawline that has lost its definition.
• Nasolabial Folds: Lifting the mid-face to smooth deep creases around the mouth.
• Heavy Malar Fat Pads: Repositioning fallen cheek tissue back to its youthful, higher position.
• Full Face Contouring: For patients who require more "lifting power" than a standard fine thread can provide.
