Les Encres Cosmetic Thread treatments are a less invasive alternative for rejuvenating the face, neck, and body.  Results are achieved with considerably less downtime as well as decreased risks for complications and adverse reactions.  Patients are able to return to work and their daily activities quicker and without the scarring and trauma associated with previous "lifting" treatments and without many of the risks associated with dermal filler techniques.
