How do threads affect aging?
Our face begins to be unable to prevent gravity and aging over time. Our face wrinkles due to weakened connective tissue, loss of collagen and elasticity. We begin to betray our age, or even look older than we are. These wrinkles make us look tired, irritable and unhappy. Therefore, this situation negatively affects our social life, regardless of being male or female.
With French Lift;
- The oval of the face, which has begun to lose its lines, is reshaped, the cheekbones become clear, the low eyebrows are restored and the gaze becomes expressive.
- A completely natural appearance is provided as the threads that are 100% compatible with the skin do not affect the muscles. The person returns to the younger version of his own facial structure.
- Collagen production starts rapidly around the threads after the application. This supports the process, and your skin gets a bright and bright appearance.
- As a result, a skin is completely renewed and regained its former vitality.
The difference is immediately apparent after the procedure. At the end of the first week, your skin becomes 90% new. At the end of approximately 2 months, the entire face is integrated with the threads.
