Emerald is a molding-cog thread lift using 3D multi-directional barbed absorbable threads. The molding-cog design anchors the SMAS layer more securely than smooth threads, producing a firmer lift along the cheek, jawline and jowl while stimulating Type I and Type III collagen as the threads gradually absorb over 12–18 months.

It sits between entry threads and the full-face Grand Diamond protocol — a focused lift for the lower-third of the face.

Authenticity & Provenance

Is it painful?+
Discomfort is mild with local anaesthesia — most patients describe pressure rather than pain.
When can I return to work?+
Most patients return the next day. Avoid strenuous exercise and facials for 14 days.
