Thread Lifting in Hongdae – Non-Surgical Lift for a Youthful, Defined Look

Looking to lift sagging skin and redefine your facial contours—without surgery or long downtime? Thread lifting is a popular, minimally invasive procedure that provides an instant lift and stimulates long-term collagen production. At our Hongdae clinic, we offer safe, expertly performed thread lift treatments using premium threads tailored to your facial structure and aesthetic goals.

What Is Thread Lifting?

 Thread lifting is a non-surgical skin lifting procedure that uses dissolvable threads inserted beneath the skin to physically lift sagging tissue while stimulating collagen over time. The threads act as a scaffolding structure and trigger natural healing for firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin.

We use top-quality threads such as:

  • PDO (Polydioxanone): Classic collagen-stimulating threads
  • PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid): Longer-lasting threads that offer volume enhancement
  • PCL (Polycaprolactone): Extended-duration threads for deep lifting
  • MINT™ Threads: Patented barbed threads with strong anchoring and FDA clearance


What Areas Can Be Treated with Thread Lifting?

 Thread lifting is highly versatile and can treat:

  • Jawline and jowls
  • Sagging cheeks and midface
  • Eyebrows and temples
  • Neck and under-chin area
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Drooping mouth corners

The technique can also be used for non-surgical nose lifts and brow lifts.


Why Choose Thread Lifting?

 Key Benefits:

✅ Instant lifting effect with natural-looking results
✅ Stimulates collagen for long-term skin firmness
✅ Minimally invasive—no incisions or general anesthesia
✅ Fast recovery with minimal downtime
✅ Customizable thread types and vectors
✅ Long-lasting results without a surgical facelift


What to Expect During Treatment

  • Thorough consultation to assess your skin and lifting needs
  • Cleansing and application of numbing cream
  • Local anesthesia at entry points for comfort
  • Insertion of threads using a fine cannula
  • Gentle positioning and lifting of tissues along pre-marked vectors
  • Entire procedure takes 30–60 minutes depending on the area


Who Is a Good Candidate for Thread Lifting?

 Thread lifting is ideal for:

  • Individuals in their 30s to 60s with mild to moderate skin laxity
  • Those wanting a natural and subtle lift without surgery
  • Patients who want to enhance facial definition
  • People looking for collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation
  • Individuals in good health with realistic expectations


Are There Any Side Effects or Downtime?

 Thread lifting is generally well-tolerated. You may experience:

  • Mild swelling, redness, or bruising (resolves in a few days)
  • Tenderness or tightness at thread paths
  • Temporary dimpling or asymmetry (adjusts within 1–2 weeks)

Avoid strenuous activity, facial massage, and excessive chewing for 5–7 days post-treatment.


How Long Do Results Last?

  • Immediate lift is visible right after the procedure
  • Collagen regeneration continues over 4–8 weeks
  • Results typically last 12–18 months depending on thread type, age, and lifestyle
  • Touch-up treatments can help prolong and maintain results


Can Thread Lifting Be Combined With Other Treatments?

 Absolutely. Thread lifting often works best in combination with:

  • Botox to relax dynamic wrinkles
  • Dermal fillers for volume restoration
  • Shurink or Thermage for skin tightening
  • Skin boosters (e.g., Rejuran, exosomes) for hydration and texture improvement

A combination approach delivers a more comprehensive and youthful rejuvenation.
