procedure followed by regular use of moisturising cream and sunscreen, as advised by

the dermatologist, to reduce the redness.

The thread stays in the skin for close to 6-8 months and the lifting effect is generally up

to18-24 months. For optimum results, 2 sessions of threadlift, 3 months apart is

recommended.
