The absorbable (self-dissolving) PDO threads are carefully inserted into the skin and anchored there. We can then gently tighten the threads. The lifting effect is visible immediately. The threads dissolve over time – the skin tightening effect nevertheless remains. In the area of the threads, collagen fibres are formed. This creates a new and natural support structure in the skin. The effect lasts up to 15 months.
The thread lift treatment is ideal for skin between the ages of 30 and 50.
