Tension threads: facial lifting without a scalpel
Some people call it “magic threads”, it is a medical treatment, minimally invasive, and painless with very visible natural results. As we age our skin loses firmness and elasticity, due to loss of collagen and facial fat. All this leads to the much-feared sagging and unwanted wrinkles. The most affected areas of the face are usually the cheeks, eyebrows and other areas around the eyes, neck and jowls. Resorbable tension threads are an excellent option to minimize these effects.
