Smooth Threads (Mesh): This approach builds a mesh beneath the skin, for example, two sutures placed vertically and three horizontally, resembling a hashtag or a net. That mesh becomes the foundation for new collagen production, tightening the skin naturally from within. The results come on gradually, with no drastic change.
Barbed Threads (Lift): This technique is used for a more dramatic, immediate result. The sutures have tiny “barbs” that grip beneath the skin. They’re inserted much like smooth threads but can be drawn in one or two directions to instantly reposition the skin. As with smooth threads, the skin then builds new collagen to secure the lift.
