What is Medi-Threads/ Thread lift and how does it work?
It is a non-surgical anti-ageing treatment. The procedure involves inserting threads into
the soft tissues which are then pulled tight, lifting the skin. As a result, the face is
redefined, volume is restored and the effects of ageing are significantly reduced. The
threads of different material are available and as the thread dissolves naturally, the skin
starts to produce new collagen and elastin which gives a longer lasting result.
