• Smooth Threads: ▫ The threads are smaller and smoother than the barbed threads. ▫ The threads are laced vertically and horizontally along he muscles to create a mesh. ▫ This mesh works as a foundation for the new collagen ▫ The results appear more gradually and naturally to smooth the lines and firm the skin.
