MINITING Thread Lift

MINITING is a PDO (polydioxanone) thread made in Korea by METAPHARM. PDO is a dissolvable material that is absorbed by the body over time and disappears.

The thread has hook-shaped barbs angled in two directions (double-angle cogs). The barbs are arranged in a zigzag, and some products also have a separate section of butterfly-shaped barbs for fixation.

MINITING comes in several products depending on their use. Each product has a different packaging color.

The doctor decides which product to use and how many threads after looking at the condition of your face. Several products are sometimes used together on one face.

• If your cheeks and jawline have sagged and your facial contour has become less defined
• If the area around your nasolabial folds and jowls looks saggy
• If your forehead and eyebrows have drooped
• If you are looking into a way to lift sagging tissue without an incision

Whether a thread lift or surgery is right for you, depending on the degree of sagging, is explained in Lifting Overview.

Which thread to use is not chosen by the patient; the doctor decides after looking at the condition of your face. Depending on the degree of sagging, skin thickness, and the area, MINITING is used on its own or together with other threads.

The basic approach at Face Plus is the reverse technique, in which threads are inserted toward the temple scalp rather than the cheek. Rather than pulling in one direction, we divide the lift across several directions, and the number of threads is decided according to the degree and location of the sagging.

Dr. Park Jung Keun personally handles everything from design to procedure. Details of the method are in Thread Lift Overview.

Dr. Park Jung Keun's MINITING Training Seminar

On April 14, 2026, at the “4th MINITING Product Training Offline Seminar” held at Face Plus Plastic Surgery, Dr. Park Jung Keun gave a lecture to medical professionals on thread lifting with the Reverse direction pyramidal technique.

For about 2 weeks after the procedure, please follow the points below.

• It is best to avoid opening your mouth wide or biting down hard.
• It is best to avoid rubbing or pressing on the treated area.
• It is best to avoid sleeping face down.
• It is best to avoid strenuous exercise for 2 weeks.
• It is best to refrain from drinking alcohol for about 2 weeks.

The areas where the threads were inserted are on the side with hair, so tape does not stick well. For that reason, we prescribe an ointment and instruct you to apply it to those areas.

After the procedure, temporary swelling, bruising, pain or a pulling sensation may appear, and most of these improve over time.

Depending on the person, symptoms such as skin dimpling, asymmetry or infection may occur, so it is important to consult thoroughly with an experienced medical team before the procedure.
