MINT™ Lifting Threads
MINT™ Lifting Threads are a minimally invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to support lifting and repositioning of soft tissue in areas affected by mild to moderate laxity. The threads are made from polydioxanone PDO, a biocompatible material commonly used in medical suturing, and are placed beneath the skin to provide temporary structural support.
Unlike mono threads (which are primarily used to support skin quality and collagen stimulation), lifting threads are designed to create a more defined lifting effect by mechanically supporting tissue in a new position while collagen activity develops over time.
MINT™ lifting thread treatments at Dr Tass Clinics are performed by our team of doctors and nurses using TGA-listed devices and strict clinical protocols. Results and outcomes of treatment may vary between individuals, as each person’s skin and response are unique.
Is Lifting Thread Treatment Right for Me?
MINT™ lifting threads may be suitable for adults who:
• Notice mild to moderate sagging or loss of definition
• Want a non-surgical option to support facial lift and contour
• Prefer gradual, natural-looking improvement rather than dramatic change
• Are comfortable with a minimally invasive procedure and short recovery period
A comprehensive consultation with one of our doctors or nurses is essential to assess your skin, facial structure, medical history and goals. If lifting threads are not suitable, alternative treatment pathways will be discussed.
Benefits of MINT™ Lifting Threads
MINT™ lifting threads may assist with:
• Supporting a more lifted and contoured appearance in targeted areas
• Improving definition in regions such as the jawline, mid-face or neck
• Enhancing facial balance while maintaining natural expression
• Encouraging gradual collagen activity as the threads dissolve
Individual responses vary depending on skin type, age, lifestyle, and thread placement.
What Does the Treatment Involve?
Consultation & Assessment – Our team of doctors and nurses assess your skin and discuss your goals and determine suitability
Preparation – The area is cleansed and marked. Local anaesthetic may be used to support comfort
Thread Placement – MINT™ lifting threads are inserted beneath the skin using fine needles or cannulas, following your personalised lifting plan
Aftercare Guidance – You’ll receive tailored aftercare instructions and a review may be scheduled if required
The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the areas treated. Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness or tightness may occur and typically resolves within a short period.
What Results Can I Expect?
Some individuals notice an initial improvement in lift or definition after treatment, with results continuing to develop gradually over the following weeks as the tissue settles and collagen support increases. The threads naturally dissolve over time and are absorbed by the body.
Results and outcomes differ between individuals and depend on factors such as degree of laxity, skin quality, lifestyle, and treatment plan.
Treatment Intervals
MINT™ lifting threads are generally performed as a single treatment session, with results developing gradually over the following weeks. Some individuals may choose repeat treatments as required to maintain your results and address the natural ageing process.
One of our experienced doctors or nurses will recommend a personalised schedule based on your needs and how your skin responds.
MINT™ Mono Threads
Mono threads are a minimally invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads. At Dr Tass Clinics, we use MINT™ mono threads, which are made from a biocompatible material widely used in medical suturing. When placed beneath the skin, these threads may provide subtle structural support and may assist in stimulating collagen as part of the body’s natural healing response.
Mono threads are typically used in areas where individuals wish to address early signs of skin laxity or change in texture. Common areas may include the cheeks, jawline, neck, lower face, brow area and nasolabial (smile line) region.
All mono thread treatments at Dr Tass Clinics are provided only after a thorough consultation with one of our doctors and nurses.
Results and outcomes of treatments may vary between individuals, as each person’s skin and response are unique.
Is a Mono Thread Treatment Right for Me?
Mono threads may be suitable for adults who:
• Wish to address mild skin laxity or early age-related skin changes
• Prefer a non-surgical option with minimal downtime
• Want gradual, natural-looking improvement rather than a dramatic change
• Are looking to support firmness and definition in targeted areas
A comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced doctors or nurses is required to assess your skin, understand your goals, and determine whether mono threads are appropriate for you. Alternative treatment pathways will be discussed if mono threads are not suitable for your skin type, anatomy or individual needs.
Benefits of Mono Threads
Mono threads may assist with:
• Supporting a firmer, smoother-looking appearance over time
• Improving skin texture as collagen activity increases
• Providing subtle structural support in targeted areas
• Encouraging gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation
Individual responses vary depending on skin type, age, lifestyle, and the number and placement of threads.
What Does the Treatment Involve?
Consultation & Assessment – Our team of doctors or nurses assess your skin and discuss your goals
Preparation – The area is cleansed and marked. To support comfort, topical or local anaesthetic may be used
Thread Placement – Mono threads are inserted beneath the skin using fine needles or cannulas, according to your personalised plan
Aftercare Guidance – You’ll receive tailored aftercare instructions and may be advised on supportive treatments if appropriate
Appointment time is typically 30–60 minutes, depending on the areas treated. Temporary swelling, bruising, tightness or tenderness may occur and usually settles over 1–2 weeks.
What Results Can I Expect?
Some individuals notice subtle improvements in firmness or skin texture as collagen stimulation develops gradually. Changes typically evolve over several weeks, with results often continuing to refine over 6–12 weeks.
Outcomes vary between individuals and depend on factors such as skin quality, lifestyle, and the treatment plan selected.
Treatment Intervals
Mono threads are generally performed as a single treatment session, with results developing gradually. Some individuals choose repeat treatments over time depending on their skin goals and the natural ageing process.
One of our doctors or nurses will recommend a personalised schedule based on your individual needs and how your skin responds to treatment.
