My skin has never been in great condition. My friend has been urging me to accompany her for cosmetic injections, but I’ve never learned much about them before. I’d like to ask: Do cosmetic injections require suture removal? What precautions should I take?

Hello, cosmetic sutures use specialized cosmetic threads. Although these threads are extremely fine, proper handling of the threads is still required after wound healing. Cosmetic sutures must be removed because the cosmetic threads are non-absorbable and cannot be left in the skin. Therefore, they must be removed once the wound has healed to avoid interfering with skin recovery. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
