What is a Thread Lift? An easy-to-understand explanation
A thread lift is, as the name impliesTreatment to raise sagging skin with threadsThe following is a list of the most common types of skin grafts. A needle containing a thread is inserted into the skin from the temple area. The needle is pulled out and the thread is left in the subcutaneous tissue (subcutaneous fat layer). The thread has spikes that catch on the subcutaneous tissue and lift it up.
