2- Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA): same substance used  in Sculptra one of the dermal fillers used to stimulate collagen formation 

3- Polycaprolactone (PCA): Lasts up to 2 years as it takes longer time to fully dissolve. It is used in hard tissues or those requiring longer healing time. 

1- Mono threads: inserted into skin subdermis for its tightening effect by  collagen production. 

2- Screw or twine threads : produce more volume thickening than mono threads

3- Cog threads : these are threads which have barbs  or cones to hook on the subcutaneous layer. They are used for lifting and repositioning facial structures for smoothing and contouring face as nasolabial folds, Marionette, Jowl ,
