What is COG Threads?
COG Thread Lift Treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that places absorbable barbed threads under the skin to lift mildly descended tissue. Individual assessment remains essential before treatment.
When do you choose this treatment?
Consider this procedure for mild tissue descent when you understand that the result is subtler and less durable than surgery. A consultation should confirm suitability, alternatives and realistic expectations.
Treatment process
Each appointment is planned around your anatomy, goals, and medical suitability.

COG Threads treatment
