How it is done
After assessing the skin and face shape and designing the treatment area and strength, threads are inserted at the marked points. They are placed step by step according to the depth and direction of the skin layers, and finally anchored along the fascia. The clinic states that the threads stimulate the tissue to encourage collagen and elastin production and are made of an absorbable material.
