How Can Thread Lifting Improve Nasolabial Folds at Sinsa Station?

The nasolabial folds located in the center of the face become deeper and more noticeable as time passes, and this can make the entire face look tired and sad.

As these changes continue to stand out, people may feel dissatisfied with their appearance and experience psychological self-consciousness as well.

However, the older you get, the deeper nasolabial folds tend to become.

This is because they are not simply a problem on the skin’s surface, but rather an issue caused by changes in the structure of the deeper layers of the skin, making it difficult to achieve clear changes with home care alone.

In addition, because nasolabial folds run across the center of the face, they also play an important role in determining the overall impression of the face.

Deep nasolabial folds not only make you look older, but can also leave a dark and stern impression.

These deep nasolabial folds can be improved through "thread lifting" without making an incision in the skin.

Because it physically pulls the skin tissue, it can provide some immediate changes, and depending on the type of thread used, it may also help restore elasticity over the long term.

Causes of Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds are not simply wrinkles that appear on the skin’s surface.

These wrinkles occur because several factors act together, including structural changes within the skin, movement of the fat layer, and decreased elasticity.

As we age, elastic fibers such as collagen and elastin in the skin decrease, and the skin gradually becomes thinner.

As a result, the skin is more strongly affected by gravity, the cheeks sag, and the nasolabial folds become relatively deeper.

Nasolabial folds are also closely related to facial expressions.

When we smile or talk, we move the skin tissue and muscles around the mouth a lot.

Eventually, this area is continuously stimulated.

This causes the skin to lose elasticity more quickly, and once wrinkles form, they become deeper with these movements.

In particular, the areas around the mouth and nose where nasolabial folds appear have thinner skin layers, so wrinkles form more easily and the area is more sensitive than other parts.

As a result, nasolabial folds are not simply a problem on the skin’s surface, but the outcome of accumulated structural changes that begin in the deeper layers of the face.

To address this problem, managing only the skin’s surface has limitations, and a more fundamental solution is needed.

Thread Lifting and Nasolabial Folds

Thread lifting physically addresses the cause of nasolabial folds by inserting medical dissolvable threads into the skin to support and lift sagging tissue.

The inserted threads not only pull the skin physically, but as they gradually dissolve over time, they help improve skin elasticity and promote the production of an important substance for softening wrinkles: collagen.

In other words, it goes beyond simply smoothing wrinkles mechanically and can improve the skin’s structure itself.

In general, the thread materials used for thread lifting are mainly divided into PDO (Polydioxanone) and PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid).

PDO threads provide a relatively quick and strong lifting effect, and the duration typically lasts about 6 months to 1.5 years.

On the other hand, PLLA threads have a longer duration of about 1.5 to 3 years and provide long-term skin improvement by continuously stimulating collagen production.

PLLA threads are especially suitable for areas lacking volume or where the skin is thin, and greater changes can be expected over time.

However, compared with PDO threads, PLLA threads have weaker tension and are often considered less suitable for strong lifting effects.

Both types of threads are naturally absorbed in the body, so a certain level of safety is secured, and they can be selectively used depending on the patient’s skin condition and desired results.

Please note that the choice of thread should be made only after having your skin carefully examined by an experienced doctor.

The effects of thread lifting stand out in that it can improve not only nasolabial folds, but also nearby fine lines and sagging skin around the mouth.

Through this procedure, the overall facial contour can be refined, creating a younger and more defined impression overall.

However, above all, the most important thing is to choose the right practitioner and the method that is appropriate for your skin.

Therefore, to receive a safe procedure, please do not focus only on reviews and price; be sure to check the practitioner’s level of experience, skill, and thoroughness during the consultation process.
