Minerva Thread Lifting

What Is?



Minerva Thread Lifting is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that uses absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) threads placed beneath the skin. The threads provide temporary structural support to help lift mildly sagging tissue, refine facial contours, and encourage collagen formation as the treated area heals.

Functions


LIFTS SAGGING FACIAL TISSUE

Barbed or cog threads grip and reposition selected tissue to create an immediate lifting effect.

DEFINES FACIAL CONTOURS

Helps improve the appearance of the cheeks, lower face, jawline, and other selected areas.

SUPPORTS COLLAGEN PRODUCTION

The absorbable threads may stimulate a natural healing response that supports collagen formation around the treatment area.

IMPROVES SKIN FIRMNESS

Helps the skin appear firmer, tighter, and better supported over time.

SOFTENS THE APPEARANCE OF LINES

Different thread types may be used to support skin rejuvenation and improve the appearance of selected lines and uneven texture.


Key Benefits


Immediate Lifting and Contour Support

Facial tissue is repositioned during the procedure, so an initial improvement may be visible right away.


Progressive Skin Improvement

Collagen development may continue after treatment, supporting gradual improvement in firmness and texture.


Natural-Looking Facial Definition

Helps refine selected facial areas without primarily adding volume like a dermal filler.


Minimally Invasive Procedure

Performed through small entry points without the larger incisions associated with surgical lifting.


Absorbable PDO Material

The threads gradually break down naturally, while the duration of visible results varies according to the patient and treatment plan.

FAQ


How does Minerva® Thread Lifting work?

A trained doctor inserts the threads beneath the skin according to planned lifting directions. Cog or barbed threads temporarily anchor and reposition tissue, while the healing response may support collagen formation.

An initial lifting or contouring effect may be noticeable immediately. The final appearance becomes clearer after temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, or dimpling settles.

Results vary according to age, skin condition, degree of laxity, thread type, number of threads, treatment area, technique, and lifestyle. Maintenance treatment may eventually be recommended.

Local anesthesia is commonly used. Patients may still experience pressure, pulling, tenderness, or mild discomfort during and after treatment.

Some recovery time may be needed. Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness, asymmetry, or skin dimpling can occur.

Depending on the thread type and medical assessment, treatment may focus on the cheeks, jawline, lower face, brows, forehead, nasolabial area, or other selected facial areas.

It may be considered for adults with mild to moderate facial laxity seeking subtle lifting without surgery. It may not provide sufficient correction for severe sagging or significant excess skin.

The number depends on the treatment area, facial anatomy, degree of laxity, thread model, and desired outcome. A doctor must determine the appropriate treatment plan.

It may be combined with other aesthetic procedures, but the doctor should determine the proper timing and sequence.

PDO threads are designed to dissolve naturally. Removal may sometimes be considered when complications occur, but it can become more difficult after tissue begins healing around the thread.

Possible reactions include swelling, bruising, pain, dimpling, asymmetry, contour irregularity, infection, visible or palpable threads, migration, extrusion, and uncommon nerve or vascular injury.

Safety depends on proper patient selection, sterile technique, accurate anatomical placement, authentic products, and practitioner training. It must be performed by a qualified and appropriately trained doctor.
