Mesothreads (thread lifting) – non-surgical facelift using threads
Thread lifting is a non-surgical facelift technique that involves inserting cosmetic threads (mesothreads) into the deep layers of the skin to lift sagging areas. The threads are introduced through a tiny puncture using a special cannula.
The main advantage of this method is the naturalness of the result. The tissues are restored to their original position, so facial features remain unchanged. There are no visible signs of intervention — the punctures through which the lifting threads are inserted are almost microscopic.
The procedure uses unique threads made of a biodegradable material that dissolves into water and carbon dioxide within 180–240 days. Thread lifting with mesothreads reshapes the facial contour, creates a skin-supporting framework, reduces wrinkles, and stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin firmness and elasticity.
The procedure takes no more than one hour (in rare cases, up to two), and recovery usually lasts about a week (when swelling subsides). When lifting the neck or midface area, small skin folds may temporarily appear near the ears, which can be easily hidden by hair if necessary. These folds gradually smooth out over time.
Types of threads include absorbable and non-absorbable options, such as 3D mesothreads, Silhouette Lift, Happy Lift, and Mint Lift.
At ANACOSMA, we prefer using premium Mint Lift threads for thread lifting procedures.
Mint Lift are premium, absorbable mesothreads designed for ultra-powerful lifting. They are manufactured by HansBiomed, a renowned and leading biotechnology company based in Seoul, South Korea.
These threads are approved for use by government health authorities worldwide, including the FDA (USA), CFDA (China), and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, among others. According to Aesthetic Everything, Mint Lift was recognized as the #1 choice in the USA in 2020.
The uniqueness of Mint Lift lies in its spiral-molded structure, where the barbs are part of the solid cast thread body rather than being cut into it. The threads are produced using a patented molding technology, and the barbs are arranged in a 360° spiral. This design offers several advantages:
Minimized thread breakage, unlike other threads with cut barbs that increase the risk of tearing.
Superior tissue fixation, as the molded barbs provide stronger anchoring compared to cut threads.
Clinical studies show that the anchoring (fixation) strength provides a lifting tension four times greater than that of comparable threads — delivering exceptional durability and a noticeably stronger lifting effect.
Like all mesothreads, Mint Lift threads are inserted into the superficial tissue layer between the skin and subcutaneous fat. However, unlike traditional mesothreads, Mint Lift provides a powerful facial lifting effect, while conventional mesothreads mainly improve skin texture and reduce laxity.
The results last for 9–12 months.
Mesothreads in aesthetic medicine offer a wide range of unique advantages:
Effective for multiple areas.
They are particularly effective for correcting wrinkles in delicate facial zones — such as around the eyes, lips, and upper and lower eyelids.
An alternative to Botox.
The insertion of mesothreads can also serve as an alternative to botulinum toxin for reducing expression lines. Importantly, absorbable facial threads — such as Mint Lift — are minimally invasive: no incisions are required, and the needle diameter is only 0.2 mm, leaving just tiny injection marks and, occasionally, minor bruising that disappears quickly.
High comfort.
Another major benefit is that the lifting procedure is virtually painless and very well tolerated by patients. The recovery period after mesothread insertion typically lasts only a few hours, allowing patients to quickly return to their normal daily activities.
The result of the procedure lasts up to 9–12 months — the face looks younger and lifted, yet remains completely natural. It is an ideal solution for those who value subtle enhancements, a high level of safety, and comfort.

The thread lifting procedure is not recommended for individuals with serious diseases of internal organs or body systems. In particular, patients with autoimmune disorders, blood formation disorders, or connective tissue diseases should refrain from undergoing the procedure.
Thread lifting is strictly contraindicated for individuals with cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, or hemophilia. It is also not recommended for patients with oncological diseases, mental disorders, or skin conditions in the treatment area.
It is important to note that the presence of non-absorbable threads from previous procedures makes a repeat thread lift impossible. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are absolute contraindications for this aesthetic procedure.
