What is Double Chin Thread Lift ?
A Double Chin Thread Lift involves inserting medical-grade, absorbable threads beneath the skin in the submental (under-chin) area. These threads provide immediate lifting support while stimulating collagen production, helping improve skin firmness and contour over time.
