What are the criteria for choosing MINT Lift?

MINT Lift is selected by reviewing the consultation plan based on the areas of sagging, skin condition, and desired improvement direction.

There are three main criteria. First, check whether the areas you wish to improve are clearly identified rather than focusing only on the number of MINT threads. Second, consult whether to include localized areas such as nasolabial folds or to address overall facial sagging. Third, whether to combine with other lifting procedures such as ONDA Lifting or Potenza is determined together with the medical staff based on your goals and skin condition.
