Lifting COG PDO threads

What are lifting COG PDO threads?

• High-quality PDO (polydioxanone) threads with COG barbs made using molding technology – they anchor in the subcutaneous tissue and mechanically lift sagging areas.
• The threads stimulate collagen production, gradually making the skin firmer and more elastic.
• We use premium threads to ensure safety, durability, and a stable lifting effect.

Areas of application

• Facial contour lifting (cheeks, jawline, marionette lines)
• Eyebrow and outer eye corner lifting
• Neck tightening
• Correction of sagging skin under the chin or along the jawline

Results

• ☑ Visible lifting effect immediately after the procedure
• ☑ Firmer skin and a more defined facial contour
• ☑ Natural collagen production for up to 6 months; results last ~12–18 months

Procedure information

• Duration: 60–90 minutes
• Local anaesthesia used if necessary for maximum comfort
• Short recovery time, but slight swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur
• Avoid intense facial expressions, exercise, sauna, and massage for 1 week after the procedure

Contraindications

• Active skin inflammation in the injection area
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Blood clotting disorders
• Autoimmune diseases or recent severe inflammation in the body

If your goal is to restore a natural and well-defined facial contour without overcorrection, lifting COG threads may be the perfect choice. Our specialist will assess your skin condition and recommend the safest and most effective solution.

Threads in aesthetic medicine — history, evolution, and truth

Do “threads in the face” sound intimidating? In reality, this is one of the fastest-developing and most refined non-invasive methods with decades of proven history.

Where did it all begin?

• 1990s: Non-absorbable threads (e.g., gold threads, nylon) — provided mechanical lifting but often with rigid placement and long recovery times.
• 2000s: Introduction of PDO threads (material widely used in surgery). In aesthetics, this marked the beginning of a new era of safe absorption and collagen stimulation.
• Today: COG technologies (molding, barbed) deliver stronger mechanical lifting combined with biological rejuvenation.

Common myths vs. reality

❌ Myth: “Threads stay in the face forever.”
☑ Truth: Threads used in aesthetics (PDO, PLLA, PCL) fully dissolve within 6–12 months. The lifting effect lasts longer thanks to newly formed collagen.

❌ Myth: “The face becomes stiff or unnatural.”
☑ Truth: Correct depth and placement maintain natural facial expressions — the result is fresher and firmer, not “frozen.”

❌ Myth: “Threads can move or become visible.”
☑ Truth: High-quality threads + proper technique = stability. In the first few days, mild swelling or tenderness is possible, but threads do not shift or show when aftercare instructions are followed.

What do threads actually do?

• Lift soft tissue that has sagged due to gravity or collagen loss
• Tighten and strengthen the skin
• Activate new collagen production — skin remains denser and more resilient even after the threads dissolve

In modern aesthetics — less is more

The focus is on naturalness: aligning the mirror image with how you feel inside — fresh, light, and natural. The procedure is ideal for those who:

• do not want fillers,
• are wary of surgery,
• feel that their face has “dropped” but want to feel like themselves again.
