MINT™ Thread Lift in Chicago & Lincoln Park, IL

Noticing your jawline isn’t as defined as it used to be? Catching glimpses of sagging cheeks or a softer neckline in the mirror?

What Is a MINT Thread Lift?

A MINT thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable PDO (polydioxanone) threads to lift and reposition sagging skin. The threads are placed just beneath the surface, where tiny barbs grip the tissue and gently pull it upward. Over time, the threads stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, improving firmness and texture long after the threads dissolve.

Benefits of a MINT Thread Lift

• Lifts sagging cheeks, jowls, and neck skin

• Stimulates your body’s natural collagen production

• Minimal downtime — most patients return to normal activities the same day

• No general anesthesia required

• Subtle, natural-looking results

• Results that can last 12 to 18 months

Who Is a Good Candidate?

The best candidates are men and women with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a noticeable lift without surgery. If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s and starting to see drooping in your midface, jawline, or neck, a MINT thread lift may be an excellent fit. During your consultation, the MD Brothers will evaluate your skin, goals, and overall facial structure to confirm whether thread lifting is right for you.

What to Expect During Treatment

Treatment takes about 30 to 60 minutes and is performed right in our Chicago office. After numbing the area with a local anesthetic, your provider carefully inserts the threads beneath the skin and gently repositions the tissue into a more youthful position. Most patients describe only mild pressure or tugging during the procedure.

Recovery and Results

Expect some mild swelling, bruising, or tightness for a few days. Most patients return to work and light activities within 24 to 48 hours. You’ll notice an immediate lift, and results continue to improve over the following weeks as new collagen builds beneath the skin.

To enhance and extend your results, ask about pairing your thread lift with Botox, dermal fillers, or laser skin treatments — all available at Old Town Med Spa.
