It’s Your Time to Shine!

The very latest innovation in Korean beauty procedures, MINT stands for Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Thread. With minimal pain and a short recovery period, this treatment targets and reduces unwanted sagging.

What is PDO?

The thread itself is a complex sugar known as polydioxanone, or PDO for short. This remarkable, safe material has been used by cardiovascular surgeons in sutures for over 30 years, and its incorporation into the field of cosmetic surgery is exciting for doctors and patients alike! Using patented 360° molding technology, specially shaped molded barbs are attached to each thread to lift tissue and smooth wrinkles as it is manipulated by the surgeon. Due to its high tensile strength, PDO is an effective component that anchors and secures lifted tissue into place.

What is medical radiofrequency?

Radiofrequency devices are used in cosmetic procedures to tighten skin using deep pulses of electromagnetic energy. RF interventions are designed to promote strengthening changes in deep tissue, in a procedure with few undesirable side-effects and minimal downtime. Many aestheticians use RF, but not with technology strong enough to produce significant aesthetic results. Medical RF focuses higher frequencies of energy than standard RF systems to remodel tissue, slowing down the visible signs of the aging process. As well as being an effective facial rejuvenation option, medical RF can even be used on the body to reduce cellulite, and as a post-procedural treatment after liposuction!

Specifically designed by Triworks for rejuvenation, our non-ablative RF technology can:

• Reduce the appearance of wrinkles
• Address facial skin laxity
• Augment acne and folliculitis treatments
• Improve skin texture
• Be used in post-treatment support

RF tightening has been proven to reduce signs of aging, with high satisfaction rates and noticeable improvement to facial skin.

Luxurious Shine Lift

Phase 1: The Thread Lift

Our Luxurious Shine Lift begins with a MINT PDO thread lift. This increasingly popular anti-aging treatment is both safe and effective. It’s also a relatively simple, cost-effective procedure that’s a great alternative to more invasive facial rejuvenation techniques, such as the facelift!

In one study almost 95% of patients who underwent thread lift surgery were satisfied with their outcomes. Benefits of a Luxurious Shine Lift:

• Target areas for thread Lift
• Softening jowls
• Augmenting the midface
• Nasolabial folds
• Jawline definition
• Flattening double chin or neck

The Thread Lift Procedure

On the first day of your treatment, Dr. Lin will perform your thread lift procedure. First, he will map the areas of your face he has identified as the optimal points for adjustment. He will apply a topical numbing agent to ensure your comfort during the procedure. After this, he will introduce the dissolvable PDO threads to the targeted features, and adjust them accordingly. This produces an immediate lifting and tightening of the skin, restoring the aesthetic contours of your face.

Phase 2: Medical RF Treatment

Three to four weeks after your thread lift, a second procedure will complete your Luxurious Shine Lift experience. RF treatment involves the passage of radiofrequencies through the lower tissues of the skin, stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen. The most effective temperature of 115° F (46° C) for 3 minutes is proven to stimulate the body’s production of new collagen fibers, so you can expect to see fantastic results in a short period of time.

Candidates for Luxurious Shine Lift

A Luxurious Shine Lift is a less invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery. Good candidates are:

• Healthy adults age 55 or younger
• Interested in alternatives to traditional facelift procedures
• Dissatisfied with the appearance of their cheeks, lips, neck and jowls
• Want to tighten and firm their skin, improving contour
• Soften fine lines

Spaced out over two days a few weeks apart, a Luxurious Shine Lift is incredibly convenient! Thread lifting takes about one hour, while the RF treatment is between 20 and 40 minutes long. As a result, there is minimal downtime, leaving you to continue with your daily routine as usual.

Personal Consultation

At your initial consultation with Dr. Lin, he will examine your facial skin, and ask you about your aesthetic goals. He will then explain how the Luxurious Shine Lift can benefit you. Dr. Lin works hard for his patients, and he understands that you work hard, too. We all deserve to treat ourselves, so consider a Luxurious Shine Lift a revitalizing reward for your efforts! Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

If you’re in need of a helping hand to feel comfortable and content with your looks, choose a Luxurious Shine Lift, and see the real difference for yourself!

Before Your Luxurious Shine Lift

• Avoid certain vitamin and mineral supplements that may affect your treatment
• Limit UV exposure (stay out of direct sunlight, tanning beds)
• Avoid excessively hot environments
• Maintain moisturizing regimen to prepare your skin
