COG Threads
COG threads are specialised barbed sutures used in non-surgical facelifts. They work by anchoring into tissue to provide immediate lifting while stimulating collagen production for long-term rejuvenation.
COG Thread Results
- Immediate Lifting Effect — The barbs (or cogs) hook into the skin, providing instant lifting, particularly for the jawline, cheeks, and brows.
- Long-Term Collagen Stimulation — Acts as a scaffold that triggers natural collagen production. As the thread dissolves over 6–8 months, new collagen continues to support the skin.
COG Thread Longevity
Results are visible immediately, with continued improvement over 3–6 months. The lifting effect can last up to 12 months as the threads gradually dissolve. Ideal for individuals seeking a “lunchtime facelift” without the risks or downtime of surgery.
PDO Threads
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable, medical-grade sutures used in non-surgical “thread lifts”. They work by physically repositioning tissues and stimulating collagen production, providing immediate lifting and long-term skin texture improvements.
PDO Thread Results
- Immediate Lifting & Tightening — Cog threads have barbs that anchor into the skin to lift sagging tissue instantly.
- Collagen Stimulation — Over 3–6 months, threads stimulate natural collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness.
- Improved Skin Texture & Volume — Smooth (mono) threads and screw threads rejuvenate skin, filling in fine lines and restoring volume.
