Facial Threads
Thread Lift
The tensor thread suspension technique is an effective method for facial rejuvenation. The tensor threads help to tighten and reposition the skin that has descended due to age and the action of gravity. To do this, subcutaneous threads are used, which allows the cheekbones to be raised, the eyebrows to be raised, the nasolabial folds (of the mouth) to diminish, and also recover the neckline. Many men and women opt for this operation, which offers natural results and quick recovery.
