Thread Lift

My face didn't use to look like this...

It's not that you've gained weight. The support that held your skin in place has loosened, and gravity has pulled it down.

Foundation that cakes, lost volume, deeper wrinkles

Bulldog-like jowls, drooping mouth corners

A facial contour that has lost its shape

A heavy-looking jaw, thick fat under the chin

Thread lift results

We don't just pull as hard as we can.

The angle of the pull is what makes the difference in your contours.

Refining a sagging jawline and cheeks

Lumpy, sagging skin is lifted to reveal your hidden V-line.

Tightening the whole face

Skin that has sagged with gravity is firmly secured to boost overall firmness.

Contouring without bone shaving

Without surgery, only the contours are refined to create a soft, oval face.

Firmness that builds from within

As the threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, leaving even your skin texture firm and bouncy.

Erasing deep smile lines and mouth wrinkles

We smooth away the deep shadows that make you look older, as if with an eraser.

A powerful double effect: lifting and filling

It goes beyond lifting sagging skin and can even regenerate it.

Columns of collagen form around the inserted threads, increasing skin density. Fine lines improve, and dull skin tone becomes clearer and brighter.

Types of thread material

PDO (strong lift)

Features: Medical threads that safely break down and are absorbed by the body after a set period.

Effects: Their firm structure gives a strong physical pull, and they stimulate collagen production as they dissolve

PCL (natural firmness)

Features: A soft yet highly tensile material, so there's no need to worry about it breaking.

Effects: Little foreign-body feel allows natural facial expressions, with excellent collagen formation

Q & A

Recovery planned for a quick return to daily life

How long do thread lift results last?

It depends on the type of thread, but in general PDO lasts about 6 months to 1 year, PLLA about 1 to 1.5 years, and PCL about 1.5 to 2 years.

Which thread is right for me?

Each thread differs in thickness, shape, and material, so a personalized consultation is needed to choose the best thread for the area and your goals.

Is the procedure painful?

You may feel some pain when the cannula is inserted, but we offer a range of anesthesia options so the procedure can be comfortable.

Are there any side effects?

Depending on the individual, there may be temporary swelling, bruising, or tightness, and you may feel discomfort when opening your mouth wide or moving vigorously. In rare cases, the threads may show through the skin or cause a foreign-body feel, so if you notice anything unusual, please visit us promptly.

What is the recovery like?

Most people can return to daily life right away. Swelling, bruising, and pain usually improve within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the type of thread and individual factors.

• Avoid saunas, hot compresses, and hot baths for 3 to 5 days
