An excellent alternative to surgical face lifting. COG thread treatment is a minimally invasive rejuvenation procedure that does not change natural facial features and leaves no visible scars. PDO threads are fully absorbable. The technique is generally safe and helps regenerate lax facial and neck tissues while improving skin affected by excessive sun exposure.

During the procedure, tiny barbs are placed in the dermis. After implantation, the threads provide immediate support to soft tissues, lift them and keep them in place. The rejuvenation effect is visible right after treatment—the face looks smoother, firmer and more youthful.

Threads are naturally absorbed after 8–12 months. Because a collagen “scaffold” forms in place of the thread, the effect can last up to 2 years. The procedure can be repeated to reinforce results or correct asymmetry. Threads can be placed in the same or new subcutaneous areas.

Outcomes:

• lifting of the facial contour,
• reduction of nasolabial folds,
• visible rejuvenation and improved skin texture.

Areas where threads may be used:

• brow lift,
• mid-face lift (cheeks),
• jawline and neck lift,
• temple and forehead lift,
• support in post-traumatic and congenital facial nerve paresis or partial paralysis (selected indications).
