Thread Lift in Songdo, Incheon
Rejuvenate your look with a minimally invasive thread lift—now offered under local anesthesia alone! While Botox, fillers, and skincare products can help slow visible signs of aging, sagging cheeks and jowls often require a more targeted solution. Thread lifts provide a subtle, natural-looking lift to areas affected by collagen loss, all without traditional surgery.
What Is a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that uses dissolvable, biocompatible threads to gently lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen production. The threads create a supportive framework under the skin, improving firmness and reducing wrinkles over time.
Our clinic uses premium PDO and PLLA threads, proven to effectively address:
- Loose or sagging jowls
- Drooping cheeks
- Neck skin laxity
- Nasolabial folds & marionette lines
- Horizontal neck wrinkles
- Downturned corners of the mouth
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Thread lifts are ideal for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want visible lifting without surgery. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin and medical history. If you have active acne or sensitive skin prone to scarring, pre-treatment care may be recommended.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
Here’s what to expect during a thread lift session:
- Cleansing the skin and applying topical numbing cream
- Injecting local anesthesia in targeted areas
- Marking entry and exit points for thread placement
- Inserting a fine cannula containing the thread beneath the skin
- Lifting tissue along pre-planned vectors for natural enhancement
- Gently massaging the area to anchor the threads in place
Results are often visible immediately and continue to improve over time.
Is a Thread Lift Considered Surgery?
No. A thread lift is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment. It does not involve any incisions or general anesthesia and is typically completed in less than one hour.
Why Choose a Thread Lift Over a Traditional Facelift?
- No scalpels or stitches
- Minimal downtime
- No general anesthesia
- Natural-looking results
- Same-day return to daily activities
Most patients resume work the following day, with only minor swelling or bruising that resolves quickly.
Can It Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Absolutely. For enhanced results, thread lifts are often paired with:
- Botox for dynamic wrinkles
- Dermal fillers for volume restoration
- Fat grafting
- Skin boosters and laser treatments
Combination therapy amplifies rejuvenation and helps maintain results longer.
Are There Any Risks?
Thread lifts use biodegradable PDO or PLLA threads—materials safely used in surgical sutures for decades. Risks of allergic reactions or complications are extremely low. Each procedure is performed under sterile conditions to minimize infection risk.
What’s the Recovery Like?
Recovery is minimal. Patients may experience:
- Mild swelling or soreness for 1–2 days
- Minor bruising in some cases
- Temporary restrictions on strenuous exercise
Most individuals can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
How to Maintain Your Results
To keep your skin firm and lifted:
- Follow a dermatologist-recommended skincare routine
- Use sunscreen daily
- Combine with occasional maintenance treatments such as fillers or chemical peels
As collagen production continues, your skin will look firmer, smoother, and more youthful for months.
