Smooth Threads or Mesh: The first one (Using Smooth Threads) consists of creating a mesh under the skin (i.e., two sutures inserted vertically & 3 sutures horizontally). It resembles a #hashtag or a net. This Mesh will serve as the foundation for our new collagen production. This technique tightens the skin naturally from within. Results appear naturally, without any drastic change.
Barbed Threads or PDO: The other technique (using barbed threads) is utilized to produce a more dramatic and immediate result. The PDO sutures have “barbs,” which provide a grip underneath the skin. Sutures are inserted similarly, except they can be pulled in 1 or 2 directions, creating an instant skin re-positioning. Just like with the Smooth Threads, the skin will build new collagen, securing the lift.
