Facial Thread Lifting Cost and Price? What About the Effect?

Facial thread lifting is a procedure that many people love because it can help improve sagging skin and wrinkles that come with aging.

However, the first thing people usually think about when considering thread lifting for the first time is:

"How much will it cost?"

Of course, cost is an important factor above all else.

But the result of facial thread lifting is not determined by cost alone.

Thread lifting is a delicate procedure in which the practitioner’s know-how is especially important, so there are several factors more important than cost that must be checked in order to achieve a satisfying result.

Today, I will explain the factors that should be considered first when choosing thread lifting.

Experience and technique

Thread lifting is not a procedure that simply involves inserting threads.

It is a process of safely and precisely lifting tissues located deep within the skin, and the practitioner’s experience and technique greatly affect the outcome.

A practitioner with insufficient experience may not properly analyze the contours of the face or the characteristics of the skin, which can lead to inaccurate thread placement or side effects.

On the other hand, an experienced practitioner carefully plans the procedure from the pre-treatment design stage, taking facial balance and harmony into account.

Thanks to this, it is possible to create natural and satisfying results tailored to each individual face.

Types and quality of threads

The threads used for thread lifting have a major impact on the procedure’s effect and how long it lasts.

General thread lifting threads stimulate collagen production while dissolving inside the skin, increasing skin elasticity.

However, if the thread quality is low, or if threads that are not suitable for the patient’s skin are used, the effect may be short-lived or the harmony of the face may be disrupted, so special caution is needed.

Generally, threads can be classified into PDO threads and PLLA threads according to their material.

PDO threads have strong tension and are biodegradable, so they naturally break down and are absorbed by the body over time.

They are also generally used widely as surgical sutures and are considered safe.

During the process of dissolving and being absorbed, they can induce collagen regeneration and help improve elasticity around the treatment area.

PDO threads are further divided by shape into cog threads with barbs and mono threads without barbs.

Mono threads are thinner than hair and are not primarily intended for lifting; instead, they are designed to increase elasticity by inducing collagen production.

At present, more people are looking for procedures using cog threads with barbs rather than mono threads when the goal is direct lifting.

PLLA is also the ingredient used in Sculptra, which is widely known as a collagen booster.

By acting as a derivative that directly induces collagen, it shows a more excellent effect in improving volume compared with PDO threads.

It is also more flexible than PDO threads, which makes it advantageous for performing lifting procedures effectively even in areas with a lot of movement.

However, compared with PDO threads, it is considered to have less tension, so it may not produce an immediate dramatic change while remaining natural.

The cost of facial thread lifting varies depending on the type of thread used, the practitioner’s experience, and the patient’s condition.

However, if the procedure is decided based on cost alone, side effects may occur or the result may fall short of expectations,

so when looking for information with thread lifting in mind, I strongly recommend carefully comparing the practitioner’s skill, the quality of the threads used, and the consultation process.
