Mint Lifting Threads are a non-surgical treatment option used in cosmetic medicine. Following a comprehensive consultation, treatment may be considered for individuals concerned about skin laxity and changes associated with ageing. Suitability, potential outcomes, and associated risks will be discussed during your assessment.
Mint Lifting Threads are dissolvable sutures made from polydioxanone (PDO), a material commonly used in medical procedures. The threads are placed beneath the skin by a qualified practitioner as part of a cosmetic treatment plan.
In addition to providing structural support within the treatment area, PDO threads may stimulate the body’s natural collagen production as they gradually dissolve over time.
Mint Lifting Threads may be considered for individuals concerned about skin laxity in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck. During your consultation, a comprehensive assessment will be conducted to determine whether treatment is suitable for your individual needs and goals.
Mint Lifting Threads are a non-surgical procedure designed to assist with facial rejuvenation by lifting and firming the skin, offering a shorter recovery period compared to traditional surgery. At BeautyFULL CMC, this procedure is performed by our Registered Nurses who focus on clinical precision and patient care.
Potential benefits include:
Designed to provide a lifted appearance without the need for traditional surgery.
Formulated to support the underlying skin tissues, which may help improve the feel of skin firmness.
Results are intended to appear progressively for a subtle rejuvenation.
Most patients are able to return to daily activities shortly after treatment.
Designed to support the body's natural regenerative processes to aid in ongoing tissue support.
Your thread lift treatment at BeautyFULL CMC is a planned clinical procedure. From the initial consultation to your follow-up appointment, our Registered Nurses guide you through each stage, aiming to keep you informed and supported throughout your care.
Your process begins with a clinical consultation. A Registered Nurse will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and help determine if Mint Lifting Threads are an appropriate option for you. This is your opportunity to ask questions and discuss the potential risks and clinical outcomes.
On the day of your treatment, your Registered Nurse will map out the treatment area, marking the intended insertion points to address the target areas. The skin is then thoroughly cleansed, and a local anaesthetic is applied to help manage discomfort during the procedure.
Using a fine cannula, the Mint threads are inserted beneath the skin. The threads feature tiny barbs designed to anchor onto the soft tissue, allowing your practitioner to gently support and reposition the skin to alter the facial contour.
Once in place, the threads provide mechanical support to the skin structure. Over the following weeks, they are designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen around the threads to assist with tissue support.
After the procedure, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery. While you may experience minor swelling, bruising, or tenderness, this typically subsides within a few days. Results develop progressively as collagen production increases, with changes becoming visible over the following weeks.

Using a fine cannula, the Mint threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin. The threads have tiny barbs that anchor onto the soft tissue, allowing your practitioner to gently lift and reposition the skin into a more youthful contour.
Once in place, the threads provide immediate support to the skin structure. Over the following weeks and months, they stimulate your body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen around the threads for ongoing rejuvenation.
After the procedure, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery. While you may experience minor swelling or tenderness, this typically subsides within a few days. Results will continue to mature as collagen production increases, with the final outcome visible after several weeks.
A Mint thread lift may be suitable for adults experiencing mild to moderate signs of skin ageing, such as sagging skin, loss of volume, or reduced firmness. It offers a non-surgical alternative for those who are not seeking a traditional surgical facelift but are looking to address skin laxity. Common treatment areas include:
Suitability is determined during a one-on-one consultation. A qualified Cosmetic Nurse will assess your skin quality, degree of laxity, and overall health to confirm if this treatment aligns with your aesthetic goals.
The cost of a Mint thread lift treatment is tailored to your individual requirements. Fees vary based on the number of threads utilised and the specific areas being treated to address your clinical goals.
During your consultation, a Registered Nurse will conduct a full facial assessment and provide a personalised treatment plan along with an itemised quote. This is designed to provide you with a clear breakdown of the costs involved prior to making a decision about your treatment.
Mint Lifting Threads are administered in a clinical environment by Registered Nurses in accordance with professional clinical standards. However, as with any procedure, potential side effects and complications exist.
Common side effects can include:
These effects usually subside within a few days to a week. To aid your recovery and optimise your results, we advise you to follow specific aftercare instructions, such as avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, and facial massages for a short period post-treatment.
Mint Lifting Threads are medical-grade sutures made from polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible material designed to be gradually absorbed by the body over time. The threads feature small barbs intended to anchor to the skin’s tissue, aiming to provide mechanical support and an immediate lifting effect. This non-surgical treatment is utilised to address the appearance of sagging skin on the face and neck, while also assisting in the stimulation of collagen production to support skin structure.
Mint threads work in two ways. First, they are physically inserted under the skin with a fine cannula to gently lift and reposition sagging tissue, creating an immediate improvement in facial contours. Second, as the threads dissolve over several months, they trigger the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which helps to firm the skin and improve its texture and elasticity for long-term rejuvenation.
The visible lift from a Mint thread treatment can be seen immediately. These results will continue to improve over the next 2-3 months as your body produces new collagen. While the threads themselves dissolve after about 6 to 9 months, the structural support from the new collagen can help maintain the results for up to 12 months or longer. Longevity can vary based on individual factors like age, lifestyle, and skin condition.
Mint threads are versatile and can be used to lift and tighten several areas of the face and neck that show signs of ageing. The most common treatment areas include the mid-face to address sagging cheeks, the jawline to reduce the appearance of jowls and create a more defined contour, the neck to tighten loose skin, and the brow area to achieve a subtle lift.
Mint threads are made from PDO (polydioxanone), a material that has been safely used in medical sutures for many years and is fully absorbed by the body. The procedure is considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner in a clinical setting. As with any cosmetic treatment, there are potential risks and side effects, which will be discussed with you during your consultation at our Brisbane clinic.
Yes, Mint threads can be effectively combined with other non-surgical treatments to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Many clients pair their thread lift with volume enhancing treatments to restore facial volume, or with wrinkle treatments to address expression lines. Combining threads with treatments like PRP or Rejuran can further boost collagen production and improve overall skin quality for enhanced, natural-looking results.
You will notice an immediate lift in the treated areas right after the procedure. However, the final results will gradually appear over the following weeks and months. As the threads stimulate new collagen growth, your skin will become firmer, tighter, and smoother. The optimal outcome is typically visible around 2-3 months post-treatment, once the initial swelling has subsided and collagen production is well underway.
