As we age, our facial skin may start to sag and wrinkle due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibres. Using a long needle, FTC threads are inserted into precise locations underneath the skin where hair-like barbs of the threads grasp onto soft tissues. Once in position, the thread opens like an umbrella to form a support structure that gently lifts and tightens loose areas of the face. The end of each thread is cut and knotted, retracting deep under the skin leaving no visible sign of treatment.
