What are cosmetic threads?

Cosmetic threads are defined as a cosmetic procedure that works to tighten the skin through a medical cannula that contains a medical thread material whose function is to raise the face up.

It also aims to lift and tighten the breasts to make them appear more attractive, which is an ideal method as it helps in increasing collagen production to the treated areas.

Collagen slows down the rate of signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines in the face.

It also helps greatly in supporting growth factors that affect the skin, as well as being used in wound healing.

It also keeps the skin strong and supple. As we age, our bodies gradually produce less and less collagen.

This results in a decrease in skin thickness of about 80% in about 70 years of age which is a major factor in the formation of excess skin and wrinkles.

The skin grows weaker as it is unable to adequately support the tissues beneath it, which means it sag and stretches.

Therefore, the cosmetic threads that tighten and support the face with collagen when the percentage of skin laxity is still light to medium, helps to hide your emotions.
