Meso threads

Human body is constantly exposed to the action of earth’s gravity, which effects are more visible on skin with increasing age. There is a soft tissue ptosis, which is most evident on the mandibular profile. It is modified by four „negative“ muscles m. depressor labii, m. depresor anguli oris, m. mentalis and platysma, which are responsible for the marionette lines, the irregular and drooping contour of the wishing-bone. Traditionally, patients were surgically facelifted by plastic surgeon. Today, there is an alternative solution, which is thread-lifting. It is a less invasive procedure for lifting, contouring and hanging sagging tissues in area of the face, neck and body of patients who want to achieve a mild to moderate rejuvenescent effect. In addition to the lifting effect, threads have other effects: they improve the tone, texture and color of the skin.
