When you first start looking into thread lifting,

it is common for your concerns to last longer than expected.

Worries such as “What if it doesn’t work?” and “What is the standard?”

naturally keep coming up.

Because this is a procedure that involves inserting threads directly under the skin,

it is an area that should never be decided lightly.

So today, based on our experience performing thread lifting procedures,

we would like to summarize two key points that we have felt

you should definitely know before coming in.

If you take just 3 minutes, you will be able to take away

the criteria you need to check before choosing a procedure.

Thread lifting: how it is inserted determines the result

Seoul Thread Lifting Specialty Hospital

When looking into thread lifting,

many people focus on “how many threads are inserted.”

However, what we have realized after doing this procedure for a long time is that,

rather than the number of threads, “which layer they are inserted into and in what direction”

affects the result much more significantly.

It may sound like a minor difference,

but in reality, it is not.

The key lies in the deep layer called the

SMAS layer (the fascial layer).

This is the layer that supports the facial tissues,

and sagging occurs when it descends downward under the influence of gravity.

That is why we pay special attention to determining the insertion depth

so that the threads can firmly anchor in the SMAS layer.

If the threads only catch the surface,

they may look lifted at first,

but their holding power will inevitably be weak.

And we cannot leave out the matter of direction.

One common mistake is simply pulling diagonally.

In this case, the cheekbones can spread outward,

making the face look larger.

On the other hand, when it is lifted in a vertical direction,

the tissues move upward more naturally,

so the cheekbones are not emphasized, the jawline becomes more defined,

and you can expect a three-dimensional contour that makes the face look smaller.

The duration of the results is similar.

When lifting vertically, including the SMAS layer,

the threads are anchored more stably with the surrounding tissues,

so the effect tends to last longer.

You should know what kind of thread you are choosing

Seoul Thread Lifting Specialty Hospital

During thread lifting consultations,

there is a question we hear very often.

“What kind of thread is good?”

To be honest,

there is no single correct answer to that question.

Because the absorption rate in the body differs depending on the material of the thread,

and the duration of the effect also varies.

Let us briefly explain the two materials used most often.

Threads used in thread lifting

are broadly divided into two types depending on the material.

PDO threads are made of polydioxanone,

and they are currently the most widely used.

They are naturally absorbed in the body

in about 6 months to 1 year,

and because they stimulate collagen production in the surrounding tissues during the absorption process,

a certain degree of improvement in elasticity remains even after the thread dissolves.

That said, because the absorption rate is relatively fast,

those who want the effect to last longer

need to keep this in mind in advance.

PCL threads are made of polycaprolactone,

and they are absorbed more slowly than PDO threads,

tending to remain in the body for a longer period.

The lifting effect tends to last longer,

but because the threads stay in the body for longer,

it is necessary to consider whether they are suitable

depending on the skin condition and constitution.

There is a reason we are explaining this in detail.

People who are first looking into thread lifting often

notice the price or reviews before the thread material.

Of course, those matter too,

but rather than asking which thread is better or worse,

our view is that the first step should be checking whether the material matches

your skin condition and the duration of effect you want.

When you visit for a consultation,

we recommend checking whether the clinic explains the thread material and insertion method together.

Thread lifting is not simply a procedure that

inserts threads into the skin.

It is a procedure whose results change depending on

which layer is treated, in what direction, and what kind of thread is used.

Whether vertical lifting is appropriate for your facial shape,

and which material of thread is needed,

must be determined through an accurate diagnosis first.

If you are curious about the method best optimized for your current skin condition,

please feel free to contact us anytime.
