Cheeks & midface
Lifts descended cheeks and restores a fresher, more defined midface.
PDO thread lift
A nonsurgical lift for sagging cheeks, jowls, jawline and brows — using fine, dissolvable PDO threads that also stimulate new collagen.


The short answer
MINT™ (Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread) is a PDO thread lift made by HansBiomed. Fine threads of polydioxanone (PDO), a dissolvable material, are placed under the skin with a thin cannula to lift and support sagging tissue; as they gradually dissolve, they stimulate new collagen. MINT™ is the first PDO thread with three FDA clearances. Treatment usually takes about an hour, lift is visible right away, the best result shows at about one month, and results can last up to about a year. Ageless by Reva offers MINT thread lifts in Las Vegas, performed by Reva Frey, RN.

Overview
As we age, the tissue of the midface, jowls and jawline slowly descends and the skin loses some of its firmness. Fillers can replace lost volume, but when the main concern is laxity, a lift is often what makes the difference. MINT™ PDO threads offer that lift without surgery, incisions or general anesthesia.
MINT™ threads have small barbs molded in a 360° helical pattern that hold the tissue once the thread is placed. The threads are made of PDO, the same dissolvable material long used in surgical sutures. Over the following months they are absorbed by the body, and as they dissolve they stimulate collagen — so skin can look firmer and smoother even after the threads are gone.
Treatment areas
Thread placement is planned around your anatomy and the amount of lift you need. Reva will recommend the right areas — and the right number of threads — at your consultation.
Lifts descended cheeks and restores a fresher, more defined midface.
Tightens the lower face to soften jowls and sharpen the jawline.
A subtle lift for heavy or uneven brows, opening up the eye area.
Supports the tissue that folds into nasolabial (smile) lines.
Helps tighten mild neck laxity and improve the neck–jaw contour.
Your appointment
Reva assesses skin quality and how much laxity you have, then maps the direction of lift and where each thread will sit.
The entry points and thread paths are numbed with local anesthetic so treatment stays comfortable.
Each MINT™ thread is placed under the skin through a fine cannula, then the tissue is gently lifted into position.
Reva checks symmetry and contour before finishing. Most appointments take about an hour.
A check-in after a couple of weeks, once swelling has settled, to review your result.
Results timeline
Visible lift as soon as the threads are placed.
Swelling, mild bruising or a feeling of tightness are common and settle within days.
Best result, as tissue settles and new collagen starts to form.
Threads dissolve gradually; collagen support helps the result fade naturally.

MINT™ (Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread) is a PDO thread lift. Fine, dissolvable threads with molded barbs are placed under the skin to lift sagging tissue, and they stimulate collagen as they dissolve.
Results can last up to about a year. The lift is visible right away, the best result is typically seen at about one month, and the collagen stimulated by the threads helps the result fade gradually rather than suddenly.
Yes. MINT™ by HansBiomed is the first PDO thread to receive three FDA clearances. Reva will explain how the threads work and whether they suit your goals at your consultation.
The treatment areas are numbed with local anesthetic first. Most clients describe pressure and a pulling sensation rather than pain, and some tenderness for a few days afterward.
Most people return to normal activities within a day or two. Expect some swelling, bruising or tightness for several days, and avoid wide mouth opening and strenuous exercise for a short time.
Often, yes. Threads lift, Restylane® restores precise volume, Sculptra® rebuilds collagen and Dysport® softens expression lines — many clients combine them in a staged plan.
Cost depends on the areas treated and the number of threads your plan needs. You’ll receive a clear, personalized quote at your consultation before any treatment.
