We receive very good feedbacks for traditional facelift and Spider Web aesthetic procedures we use in our clinic. Spider Web technique is applied with the latest technology.  Spider Web aesthetic, also known as thread facelift, is more effective than traditional facelift technique and has many advantages thanks to shorter recovery period. As your face will have a tighter and younger look after thread facelift, this procedure has become the most preferred method of the recent years.
