Mono threads are best used for lifting of the neckline, belly, buttocks, hands, inner thigh, under eyes, between the eyebrows, and eye wrinkles. It is a type of PDO filament which can be inserted into the skin in a mesh-like pattern, to help increase skin tightness. This thread stimulates the production of collagen for a healthier and firmer skin. Lasts up to 7 months.
Cog threads are perfect for lifting and tightening of double chins, cheeks, nose, brow lifting, nasolabial folds, jawline and frown lines, belly, and buttocks. It is similar with Mono’s barbed threads however, from the underside of the skin. These barbs form a structure which lifts the sagging tissue. Unlike mono threads, cog threads do not need anchoring points and so are easier to target certain areas. Lasts up to 8 months.
