What is Elastic Thread Lift?
Aging skin tends to lose its normal collagen level, causing the skin to sag and lack elasticity. Elastic Thread Lift is a facelift technique used to strengthen the specific skin layer in which would help to create a natural skin rejuvenating result, enhancing youthful facial contour.
How It Works
Elastic Thread for the procedure is designed by Italy’s Dr. Capurro, a top global figure in the reconstructive surgery field. The thread has great elasticity, which has the ability to fuse with the surrounding tissue and function as a ligament. For the insertion of the thread, only a small incision is required; this reduces the recovery time and improves a less stressful experience.
