What is thread lifting?

Lift now, collagen later.

Thread lifting places fine absorbable threads under the skin to physically lift sagging tissue, while the threads stimulate collagen along their path as they dissolve. The result is immediate lift reinforced over months by new collagen. Thread selection — barbed for fixation, smooth for collagen — and vector placement are everything, so a dermatologist designs them for your face. Mild tightness and swelling last several days.

Our approach

Sixty devices mean nothing without the diagnosis to choose between them. That is what a specialist does.
