Threads (PDO, COG)

Facial threads are a non-invasive solution for lifting and tightening the skin. They are inserted under the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin firmness and texture. They provide a natural lifting effect while helping to contour the face. The procedure is quick, with immediate results and no downtime.

Non-invasive facial lift and tightening with a natural lifting effect.

Facial Threads are one of the most effective techniques for lifting, firming and rejuvenating the skin — without surgery.
These are absorbable medical threads placed under the skin to stimulate natural collagen production, improving overall firmness and elasticity.

How Threads Work

The procedure is based on both the mechanical and biological action of the threads.
Immediately after insertion, the threads provide gentle support to the skin, creating a natural lift and enhancing facial contours.
In the following weeks, the body stimulates the production of new collagen, resulting in gradual regeneration and firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

The session is quick, painless and requires no downtime.
Results are visible immediately and continue to improve progressively over the next 2–3 months.

Types of Threads

  • PDO Threads (Polydioxanone):
    These threads are mainly used for skin tightening and improving skin quality.
    They deeply stimulate collagen synthesis, leaving the skin smooth, elastic and radiant.
    They are commonly applied to areas such as the cheeks, neck, facial contour and forehead.
  • COG Threads:
    These threads have small barbs that provide an immediate mechanical lifting effect.
    They are ideal for lifting sagging skin below the cheekbones, along the jawline and on the lower face, restoring the natural contour with subtle precision.
