What are the criteria for choosing a COG Thread Lift?

There are three main criteria. First, check if the area for COG thread application is clearly defined. Second, assess skin thickness and the extent of sagging, rather than relying solely on the number of threads. Third, ensure there is a system in Gangnam for consultation and follow-up.
