In this minimally invasive procedure, dissolvable medical-grade sutures are used to produce a subtle, but visible "lift" in the skin. The Uplift procedure simply suspends soft tissue with dissolvable threads. This has the effect of pulling the skin back slightly to lift and contour the face. The threads also combat aging by boosting the body's "healing response" and causing your body to produce collagen. This new collagen creates a smoother, more youthful appearance with improved skin tone.
