V-LINE LIFTING, VS. GRAVITY AND TIME
SEOUL, South Korea, Dec 28 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- In the recent years, Lifting by threads or laser and simple procedures such as fillers or Botox are becoming more popular to maintain youth and look younger. Types of threads used have become more diverse and simple procedures are becoming more widely performed.
Senior patients were the main group for the lifting needs in the past, but it has now expanded to the younger patients in their 20s & 30s, who are seeking thread lifting for more V-shaped face in the minimal invasive way possible. Skin may sag regardless of age when the skin itself is thin and lacks elasticity, and in this case, skin elasticity and the face shape may be improved through thread lifting.
