Correcting Nasolabial Folds (NLFs) Using Octo Twist Threads: Longer Lasting Effect and Minimum Down-

Volume loss due to the lack of collagen production as we age may cause the nasloabial folds (NLFs), or better known as smile/laugh lines, to deepen. While not defined as a medical condition or a sign of ageing, many patients today seek treatment in filling and correcting their nasolabial folds.

In recent years, thread lifting has become one of the most prominently preferred non-surgical methods by both patients and doctors due to its lasting effectiveness; as the threads gradually dissolve completely under the skin to help improve firmness - making it a safe and highly desirable option for those who do not wish to undergo surgery.
