The Precision Tool for Micro-Contouring and Targeted Lifting. Redefine facial features with the precision of MINT™ PETIT. Part of the world-renowned MINT™ (Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread) family, the Petit version is a specialised PDO (Polydioxanone) thread designed for detailed work. Utilising patented 360-degree helical moulded barbs, it provides superior anchoring and tensile strength, allowing for a powerful lift in areas where larger threads are too bulky. What Is It? MINT™ PETIT is a bi-directional, barbed PDO thread. Unlike "cut" threads that can be weak, MINT™ threads are press-molded, which preserves the integrity of the core while creating robust barbs. The "Petit" model features a specific barb distribution and length, making it the gold standard for micro-contouring, brow lifting, and localised tissue repositioning. How It Works Instant Mechanical Lift: Once inserted into the subcutaneous tissue, the 3D barbs anchor into the sagging skin, allowing the practitioner to physically lift and reposition the tissue. Biostimulation: As the PDO material naturally dissolves over several months, it triggers the body’s natural response to produce new collagen and elastin. 360° Anchoring: The helical (spiral) barb design ensures that the thread grips the tissue from all angles, providing a secure hold and minimizing the risk of migration. Who Is It For? MINT™ PETIT is specifically designed for practitioners targeting: The "Fox Eye" & Brow Lift: Raising the tail of the eyebrow for an open, refreshed look. Mid-Face Micro-Contouring: Smoothing out early jowling or defining the jawline. Nasolabial & Marionette Lines: Providing targeted tension to "unfold" moderate creases. Localised Refinement: Ideal for areas where a full-length lifting thread is unnecessary. Key Technical Specifications Material: Polydioxanone (PDO), a safe, biodegradable polymer. Barb Design: 360-degree, 3D Helical Molded Barbs for maximum grip. Cannula Type: Designed for smooth, trauma-free insertion with high patient comfort. Tensile Strength: Significantly stronger than conventional cut threads due to the molding process.
