fascia or the bone.\u00a0 Then the full length of thread are introduced downwards towards the sagging areas of the face to lift it.Here\u2019s a simple diagram to explain the lift in simple terms:<br

An example of floating threads are the Ultra V lift threads.The skin lifting results are milder as compared to suspension threads.\u00a0 Longevity of the results for PDO floating threads is limited as patients often express that the results diminishes after a few months.
