Hello,

This is Inique.

Our bodies naturally experience aging over time.

Aging refers to the gradual physical and cognitive changes and decline that occur as time passes.

For example, cognitive aging includes a decline in cognitive functions such as memory, concentration, and problem-solving ability.

Visible signs of aging include hair turning white and wrinkles on the skin, which appear outwardly. Because of this, loss of skin elasticity and sagging is something that naturally happens and cannot be avoided.

However, many people feel stressed because their skin no longer has the same elasticity as before, and they manage their skin through various skin care methods in order to maintain a youthful appearance for longer. If you are still not satisfied despite these efforts, we would like to introduce facial thread lifting.

Facial thread lifting can improve sagging skin and wrinkles, helping the face change into a more elastic appearance like before.

Shall we take a closer look at its effects?

Inique’s thread lifting procedure lifts the tip of the nose, softens nasolabial folds, and improves cheek sagging, a drooping jawline, and neck wrinkles.

In addition to the initial lifting effect, as the lifting threads break down, this process induces collagen regeneration, which can improve facial volume.

Inique’s facial thread lifting is performed as a non-incisional lifting method that pulls the face’s SMAS layer with lifting threads and induces collagen regeneration. This is a relatively simple procedure, and you can return to daily life the day after the procedure. With its quick recovery and minimal incision, it is a lifting procedure with the advantage of having almost no scarring.

Inique’s facial thread lifting uses four types—Elasti-Qum/Diamond, Blue Rose/Whirl, and Ultra V—to select the material best suited to each individual.

When performed under sleep anesthesia, it takes about 30 minutes, and when performed under local anesthesia, thread lifting takes about 10 minutes.

Elasti-Qum is a lifting material made from a special new band-like material containing silicone and polyester components. Among currently available lifting threads, it is the most elastic thread and acts like a ligament in human tissue. It causes little foreign-body sensation after the procedure, and its lasting effect of about 1 to 4 years makes it the thread lifting material with the longest duration.

Diamond and Blue Rose are third-generation PDO threads with a 360-degree cog shape resembling rose thorns. They are made using a molding method that compresses the thread while keeping the raised pattern intact rather than cutting it. Because they are used in a non-incisional procedure, they have the advantage of a faster recovery.

Whirl, a second-generation PDO thread, is a thread without protrusions in a swirling shape. Compared with Ultra V, it has excellent ability to hold the skin in place, but its lifting and pulling effect is insufficient, so it is used together with threads such as Diamond or Elasti-Qum to supplement its shortcomings.

Lastly, Ultra V, a first-generation PDO thread, has insufficient lifting power, so it is performed in combination with threads such as Diamond and Elasti-Qum, and it is an effective lifting thread for improving the jawline.

The suitable candidates for facial thread lifting are those whose overall facial elasticity has decreased, as thread lifting can effectively improve this. In addition, thread lifting may be effective for those who want to restore elasticity without surgery, those who want to clearly define facial contours, and those who want to improve skin sagging that occurred after contouring surgery, fat grafting, or petite procedures.
