Can deep nasolabial folds be improved with thread lifting?

No one is unaware of how a deepening nasolabial fold can change the impression of a face.

The biggest change is that it makes you look older.

This is also why people often use forehead wrinkles and nasolabial folds when depicting an “old person.”

The reason nasolabial folds deepen is that the facial fat drops downward and gets pressed.

Because they are difficult to conceal even with makeup, many people look into procedures to reduce nasolabial folds.

Among them, “thread lifting” is a procedure that helps improve the area at its root by hooking and pulling the skin tissue.

Why do nasolabial folds get deeper?

The reason nasolabial folds become more pronounced over time is that as you age and elasticity decreases, the fat in the upper part of the face moves downward and the cheek area gradually sags.

This is because structural changes occur that press the area beside the nose where the nasolabial fold is located.

That is why when you look at the face of someone with deep nasolabial folds, it is not just the nasolabial area that is the problem; the cheek flesh below the cheekbones has often dropped significantly as well.

As a result, the area around the mouth and even the jawline may sag too.

At this point, what is needed is not simply pulling on the nasolabial fold itself, but an approach that lifts the overall cheek area upward and redistributes its weight.

This is also why thread lifting can be effective.

That is because the thread does not merely pull the skin; it also plays a role in lifting sagging tissue back closer to its original position and securing it there.

When this happens, the area beside the nose that had been pressed becomes lighter, and the wrinkles spread out more naturally.

Can thread lifting

improve nasolabial folds?

Thread lifting is a method in which dissolvable threads are inserted into the skin to physically pull up and secure sagging tissue.

In particular, wrinkles such as nasolabial folds, which form from repeated pressure due to gravity, are more likely to improve when approached by changing the structure of the skin itself.

Thread lifting can physically alter the deeper layers of the skin without the burden of surgery, allowing for a more fundamental improvement.

Also, the inserted threads gradually dissolve and disappear over time.

During this process, they stimulate the surrounding tissue and induce collagen production, so the skin gradually gains elasticity after the procedure.

Because it offers not only an immediate lifting effect but also improved elasticity in the deep layers of the skin over time, thread lifting is especially suitable for deep, long-standing wrinkles such as nasolabial folds.

However, because facial structure and skin condition vary from person to person, it is important to receive a careful diagnosis and thorough consultation before deciding on the procedure.

Nasolabial fold thread lifting

Please pay attention to this.

Thread lifting for nasolabial folds is not a procedure that can be applied in exactly the same way to everyone.

It must be performed with an understanding of facial anatomy and with precise design.

It is not simply a matter of inserting threads and pulling them up; careful planning is needed regarding from which direction, at what angle, and how many threads to insert in order to achieve the desired result.

In particular, nasolabial folds often occur because the cheek flesh below the cheekbones is pressed downward.

If the threads are pulled vertically without consideration, the cheek flesh may gather toward the cheekbones, which can instead make that area stand out more or make the face look wider and flatter.

In the end, satisfaction will inevitably be low.

Therefore, in order for thread lifting to produce the desired effect, it is important to design and perform the threads at various angles so that force is evenly distributed in multiple directions.

To take this three-dimensional approach, a rich anatomical understanding of facial structure and years of know-how are necessary.

If you are considering thread lifting, please be sure to check the practitioner’s skill, experience, and precision in consultation.

Because thread lifting is a delicate medical procedure that deals with facial structure, the face must be analyzed three-dimensionally and each person’s unique anatomical characteristics must be reflected to achieve the desired result.

If everyone is treated the same way as if following a manual, the results may fall short of expectations or, in some cases, serious side effects may occur, so special caution is needed.

Recovery after thread lifting is also important.

Please be careful, as excessive facial movement or stimulation such as massage may interfere with the threads settling in place.

After a lifting procedure, you should carefully maintain skin moisture and sun protection so that the effects can last longer.

Even if deep nasolabial folds are a concern, thread lifting is not always the answer.

Please make sure to carefully assess your current condition and find a place that can suggest the solution that is right for you.
