Initial consultation
We assess skin quality, tissue movement, facial anatomy and the desired result.

NATURAL. SUBTLE. YOU.
Lift mildly descended facial contours with carefully positioned absorbable COG threads.
Restore a little definition where facial tissue has begun to descend. COG threads offer a subtle non-surgical lift, refining selected contours with support that follows your own features and the degree of change you want, rather than treating every face to the same pattern.

COG threads are absorbable threads with small barbs that grip tissue beneath the skin. They are placed along planned lines to hold selected tissue in position, with the pattern matched to facial anatomy.

Consider COG threads when mild tissue descent has changed your facial outline and you want a subtle non-surgical lift. Your anatomy and the areas needing support guide the planned placement.

Thread treatment is planned around tissue thickness, facial movement and previous procedures. Risks include infection, persistent dimpling, asymmetry, visible threads and nerve or vessel injury. Your consultation covers recovery and options if correction is needed.
Here’s what to expect at each stage, from your consultation to your follow-up.

We assess skin quality, tissue movement, facial anatomy and the desired result.

The area is cleaned, marked and numbed with local anaesthetic.

Sterile absorbable threads are placed through planned entry points under the skin.

The result is checked, entry points are dressed and movement restrictions are explained.
Share your medical history, allergies, medicines and previous procedures, and do not stop prescribed medicine unless the prescribing clinician advises it. Treat dental or skin infection first and discuss previous threads, fillers and scarring problems.
Avoid pressure, facial massage, vigorous exercise and wide facial movements for the period advised, and sleep with the head elevated initially. Contact the clinic if symptoms become severe or unusual.
An initial lift is visible straight away, with the treated tissues settling into a more defined contour over 6-12 weeks. Results commonly last about 12-24 months as the threads are absorbed and the tissue response develops.

Swelling and tissue settling affect the early appearance. Your clinician reviews the result as the area recovers and explains the movement precautions needed during healing.

Discomfort is typically rated 2-3 out of 10. Local anaesthesia is used for the procedure. Social downtime is commonly 3-7 days. Mild to moderate swelling can last several days.
