To ensure comfort for the patient, a local anesthetic may be administered at both the entry points and the anchoring points of the threads.
The thread runs inside a blunt cannula that will be used to position the thread according to the marking. The cannula is then pulled back, and the thread is tucked under the skin. This method provides effective lifting that can be seen almost immediately following treatment. Further sessions may be recommended to achieve maximum results depending on individual needs.
