MINT LIFT Thread Lift

MINT LIFT is a PDO (polydioxanone) thread made by Hans Biomed. Its item name is “thread for fixing facial tissue,” and it is a dissolvable thread that is absorbed by the body over time and disappears.

The barbs are made by molding, pressing them in a mold, and they protrude 360 degrees around the thread. The video below shows how the barbs are arranged on a cross-section of the thread.

MINT LIFT comes in several products that differ in length and barb arrangement. The packaging bears names such as FINE+, PETIT+, FIX+, FIX-MINI+, UP+, TIP+, EASY, and MINI.

The doctor decides which product to use and how many threads after looking at the condition of your face.

• If your cheeks and jawline have sagged and your facial contour has become less defined
• If the area around your nasolabial folds and mouth 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, MINT LIFT 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 MINT Seminar Lecture

In 2026, at the MINT Live Seminar hosted by Hans Biomed (manufacturer of the MINT thread), Dr. Park Jung Keun gave a lecture and demonstration of thread lift user training for U.S. medical professionals.

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.
