What is Anchor Plus Lift?
Anchor lift is a PDO thread lift treatment that specializes in lifting the face line.
The threads aim to tighten and brighten the skin, smooth wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin whilst elevating the tissue. Most of the conventional yarns were made by making slits in the yarn and using the slits as cogs (thorns) or formed by heat treatment. If you make a notch, the thread will become thinner than the original thread, and the strength will decrease. Also, heat treatment damages the thread itself, which also affects its strength. This is fortunately, not the case for Anchor Plus Lift.
How It Works
Anchors are formed by fitting them into a mold and applying pressure without heating, so it is possible to increase the number of cogs (thorns) while maintaining the original thickness and strength of the thread. As a result, the cog (thorn) that is stronger than before increases the tissue holding power, and the thick thread makes it possible to enhance the lifting effect.
The material used is an absorbent thread called PDO (polydioxanone), which is the same as Teslift. PDO is said to have the effect of shrinking fat, and you can expect a small face effect by tightening fat.
