Hi I'm 32 and have a few lines starting above my lips (smokers lines- but I don't smoke) I'm just wondering I was told that soft threads can't cause the puckering the barb ones can is that true? It was advised to use soft threads rather than filler to build up my own collagen and not add unessassary volume. I would do laser but I'm on 20 mg every other day of isotretinoin for some stubborn hormonal acne. Is it okay to do threads on that medication if it's a really light dose? Thank you

Answer: Using threads to treat lines above the lip.
Thank you for your question. Thread lift stimulates collagen production in the vectors/ direction where it is placed in the tissues so it becomes like an invisible string once it is dissolved. Ageing still continues so when the "droop" is noticed again, it's a new one which we can then assess...
Thank you for posting your photographs.
It is unlikely that bruising has been caused by micro-needling.
Bruising can occur when Silhouette Soft threads are inserted and it appears that in your case this has happened near to the exit points in the temporal area, close to the hairline....
