How it is done
The website (including the older thread-lift page) lists the following thread types: Ultra V (thin absorbable PDO threads), V-cog (threads with bidirectional, multiple barbs placed in the SMAS layer to anchor tissue), MINT (barbed facial tissue-fixation threads made by moulding) and Silhouette Soft (absorbable threads with cone-shaped anchors). Treatment areas listed are forehead lines, crow's feet and drooping outer eye corners, nasolabial folds and sagging cheeks, sagging jowls, and neck lines. Following numbing cream, the threads are inserted in set directions; the type and number of threads are decided at consultation according to skin condition and the degree of sagging. The website explains that PDO threads gradually break down and are absorbed from around 6 months.
