# Emerald Molding Cog Thread Lift Program Canonical: https://waleeratinternational.com/en/services/emerald 3D molding-cog absorbable threads that grip tissue around the full circumference, for a naturally defined contour. emerald Program 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 Program protocol — a focused lift for the lower-third of the face.

Emerald molding-cog lifts start from ฿30,000; the doctor confirms the number of threads for your face and goals at consultation. ## How is emerald Program different from grand diamond Program? emerald Program is a focused lower-face/jawline lift; grand diamond Program is a higher-coverage, multi-vector full-face protocol.
