Hello.

This is INIQUE.

As time passes and aging naturally progresses,

the skin gradually loses elasticity and

inevitably starts to sag downward

due to gravity.

Plastic surgery thread lifting

is one of the procedures that can help

resolve these symptoms and concerns.

Thread lifting is not only popular among middle-aged and older adults,

but has also recently been receiving a lot of attention among younger people.

So today,

together with INIQUE,

we will take a look at thread lifting.

First, let's look at the concepts of plastic surgery thread lifting and tightening.

Lifting literally means raising sagging tissue upward,

and tightening means

firming skin that has lost elasticity and become slightly saggy

so that it feels taut again.

So some threads play a lifting role,

while others play a role that is closer to tightening.

Short, thin threads are made of a substance called PDO,

which is a dissolvable material. When these threads are inserted into the skin,

they can create a mild tightening effect.

The threads on the upper side

have a lifting effect.

If we divide the threads used in plastic surgery thread lifting

into two broad categories,

they can be classified as dissolvable threads and non-dissolvable threads.

Among the non-dissolvable threads,

the one most commonly used in plastic surgery thread lifting

is Elasticum.

Looking at the structure of Elasticum,

the inside is silicone,

and the outside is made of polyester.

Because the core of this thread is silicone,

it has rubber-band-like elasticity and stretches well.

The main target areas are the nasolabial folds, the area around the mouth, and the jawline.

When it is placed and pulled with Elasticum,

the sagging tissue is lifted upward,

and because this thread stretches like a rubber band,

when making facial expressions, speaking, or moving,

the thread repeatedly stretches and then contracts

in response to those movements.

That is why Elasticum

can deliver the strongest lifting effect among the threads currently available,

and its duration can also be said to be long.

However, some people may feel reluctant about the non-dissolvable threads used in plastic surgery thread lifting, or may simply want to use dissolvable threads.

For those people, we also recommend PDO dissolvable threads.

These threads are generally called barbed threads,

and they have protrusions on the main thread body.

The protrusions anchor the tissue and

play a role in pulling it upward.

The drawback of dissolvable threads is that,

compared with non-dissolvable Elasticum threads,

their strength is weaker and their duration is relatively shorter.

So even when recommending dissolvable threads,

we do not recommend a single-line thread,

but rather the recently developed double thread.

The double thread has each thread connected,

so if an ordinary dissolvable thread is like a line,

the double thread can be seen as a surface made by connecting lines.

Because of that, its duration also lasts longer.

Today, we looked at the threads used in plastic surgery thread lifting.

We learned what threads play the role of tightening and lifting,

and what dissolvable and non-dissolvable threads are.
