PDO COG Threads

These are lifting threads as opposed to rejuvenating threads (mono).  COG threads also rejuvenate as they cause trauma thus encouraging collagen production.

At Doctor Face we use the latest technology in threads. We use 6D cog threads which means that the barbs are placed finer than the 3D cogs threads, every 60° in order to fix the tissue in all directions and to achieve a powerful and long-lasting lifting.

• Improved skin laxity
• Stimulation of the hypodermis which in turn increases the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid

Male or females who have skin laxity or skin sagging to the mid/lower face, visible jowls and loose skin to the neck.  PDO cog thread treatment is for males and females aged 30 and over.
