Threads
What it is for
Cog threads are placed under the skin to physically lift and support an area, commonly the midface, jawline or neck, while their texture stimulates new collagen over time.

Cog Threads
Absorbable cogged threads that lift and support sagging areas while stimulating collagen, a non-surgical approach to firmness.

It may help with
- Mild to moderate sagging in the midface
- Softening of the jawline
- Early neck laxity
Threads
How it works
Fine absorbable threads with tiny cogs are inserted along the lift vector. The cogs grip tissue gently; the thread dissolves over months, leaving the collagen it stimulated behind.
