It provides protocols and recommended thread types for lifting different areas of the face like the brows, nasolabial folds and neck. It also discusses body lifting protocols and thread recommendations for areas like the breasts, arms, abdomen and legs. Before and after photos demonstrate the lifting effects on skin laxity.
