The second component uses thread lift to provide further Thread Lift is a mini-surgical procedure to improve visible and early signs of aging on the face and neck.  PDO (Polydioxanone) and PLLA(Poly-L-Lactic Acid) threads are absorbable sutures which can improve early skin laxity by lifting and rejuvenate skin by stimulating collagen volume restoration.  These sutures were initially developed for use in surgery procedures and have received FDA clearance and are now recognized as a safe, minimally-invasive alternative to traditional aesthetic procedures such as full face, jaw, brow, and neck lifts.

Rapid Lift with simultaneous thread lift and fillers tightens skin and restores volume at the same time.

The primary benefit to this procedure over traditional facelifts are reduced costs, scarring, healing time, and invasiveness.
