Mono threads are smooth sutures that are used to treat those who have experienced a loss of collagen production during the natural aging process. Screw threads consist of one or two intertwined threads that are used to restore volume to sunken parts of your skin. This type of thread helps to achieve a moderate facelift. These threads help treat sagging and poor-quality skin, intending to achieve skin rejuvenation and tightening.
