Cog lifting threads (barbed PDO threads) are absorbable sutures with tiny hooks used to physically lift and anchor sagging soft tissue. They provide an immediate mechanical lift while stimulating long-term collagen production as they dissolve over 6 to 8 months. Results typically last 12 to 18 months.
The Procedure
During a typical 45-to-60-minute procedure, a trained aesthetic doctor or dermatologist uses a micro-needle or cannula to insert the cog threads into the deeper layers of your skin (like the SMAS or fat layer). Once in place, the barbs latch onto the tissue, allowing the practitioner to gently pull and reposition the skin to tighten the jawline, cheeks, or neck.
Price varies depending on each individual person . Best to book in for consultation before deciding on the treatment.
