Mint Thread Lifting is a minimally invasive lifting treatment that uses absorbable PDO (Polydioxanone) threads to physically lift and anchor sagging facial tissue. Each thread features a specialized barbed (Cog) structure and is precisely inserted between the dermis and SMAS layer, providing immediate lifting support where it matters most. As the PDO threads gradually dissolve and are absorbed by the body over time, they stimulate natural collagen regeneration — helping to restore skin elasticity well beyond the initial lift. The 12-thread configuration is an ideal starting point for those in the early stages of facial sagging or mild contour loss. Rather than dramatic repositioning, this option delivers a natural, refreshed appearance with progressive improvement over time — perfect for first-time thread lift patients looking for a gentle yet effective result. ✔ Absorbable PDO threads ✔ Natural, subtle lifting ✔ Collagen stimulation ✔ A comfortable introduction to thread lifting
The 16-thread configuration places Mint threads at a denser distribution, delivering stronger structural support with a focused emphasis on the jawline and cheek contours. Designed for those beginning to notice more visible sagging, this option strikes the right balance between meaningful lifting and natural-looking results. The threads work together in a lattice-like formation beneath the skin, reinforcing tissue from within — while ongoing collagen remodeling helps maintain firmness and elasticity over the months that follow. ✔ Moderate sagging correction ✔ Cheek lifting + jawline definition ✔ Lifting and elasticity in one treatment ✔ Well-rounded facial contouring
The 20-thread configuration maximizes the lifting capacity of the Mint thread system, offering strong structural repositioning for those seeking a clearly defined, sculpted outcome. This is our most frequently recommended option for patients who want a visible improvement in facial contour — particularly a sharper, more defined V-line. With a higher thread count providing three-dimensional tissue support, sagging areas are comprehensively repositioned upward, and the overall facial contour is structurally rebalanced for a more youthful profile. ✔ Noticeably enhanced lifting effect ✔ Sharper, more defined facial contours ✔ Strong structural tissue support ✔ Moderate-to-significant sagging correction
AVA Skin Clinic is the dedicated non-surgical aesthetic division of AVA Plastic Surgery (located 1 minute from Sinsa Station Exit 4 in Gangnam, Seoul). All anatomical evaluations and treatments are led 1-on-1 by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Seungsoo Kim (Medical License #103360, Specialist #2344).
Non-surgical jawline, jowl, and midface vector lifting in Seoul using 360° 3D helical cog threads (MINT, Silhouette Soft) and collagen-stimulating volume threads. Before treatment, we assess your dermal thickness, fat compartments, vascular pathways, and muscle vectors to select the exact anatomical plane and dosage without overfilling.
Depending on the modality and individual skin sensitivity, most patients resume daily activities the same day, though mild swelling, bruising, redness, or intradermal embossing can last 2 to 5 days. Rare risks such as nodules, asymmetry, or inflammation are thoroughly reviewed during your pre-treatment consultation.
※ Individual results and longevity vary depending on skin thickness and anatomy. Temporary swelling, bruising, redness, nodules, or inflammation may occur; a thorough 1-on-1 consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon is required before treatment.
