Thread Lift — Biodegradable Lifting Threads

Biodegradable thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that bridges the gap between injectable treatments and surgical facelift.

The threads feature barbs or cones that grip the subcutaneous tissue; when the physician tensions the thread from the entry point, the tissue follows and is held in a lifted position. Two…
