Lift Technique
30 minutes is all it takes.
First, patients will be given local anaesthesia. Afterwards, the doctor will insert a series of mini PDO absorbable sutures just under the skin. A needle helps to slide the threads into the right position, lifting the skin for a more youthful look.
Eventually, the sutures under the skin will stimulate the body’s selective inflammatory response, causing the skin to heal itself by creating new collagen. This natural reaction gradually replaces lost volume in sunken and sagging areas, enhancing the volume and creating a lift to your face.
The 100% bio-compatible suture will be fully absorbed within 4-6 months, and expelled naturally out of the body.
