CONTOUR THREAD

As the aging process begins, the changes to the facial structure lead to sagging, deep creases, folds and wrinkles. These usually begin in your late thirties to early forties.

Now there is a safe and effective procedure that provides a natural-looking result. The procedure does not replace the conventional facelift, however, it does provide a minimally invasive, less aggressive approach. The procedure employs special sutures (threads) that are made from clear polypropylene, a material that has been used in other medical products for years.

The threads are used to reposition the sagging cheeks, jowls and neck. They can also lift sagging eyebrows and adjust an asymmetric face or brows.

These threads have tiny cogs that, once inserted in the skin, work like umbrellas with tension to gently lift the sagging tissues. Because of the special design, the surrounding tissues act to hold the threads in place without the need for visible scars. The body then generates new collagen that surrounds the thread to maintain the lifting effect.
