Thread lifting has come so far and many bespoke treatments are available today. We have threads originating from all over the world including Europe, Russia and Korea. These are the leaders in thread technology. And not all threads are equal but each has its place. Korean threads are small threads that provide a little lift, but when you insert several they can give an amazing result on skin tightening and lifting. They are quickly and easily inserted, requiring just a dash of anaesthetic injected into the skin. Extremely cost effective at R500 per thread, one can really budget and insert as many as you want per session. Results last about a year.
