Gangnam thread lifting plastic surgery clinic

This is Balance Lab near Sinsa Station :)

When skin elasticity decreases and sagging appears due to various factors,

it is natural to consider lifting procedures.

However, the part that most people worry about

is swelling and bruising.

That means the burden of the recovery period is quite significant.

Facelift? It has strong effects, but the recovery time is long.

Laser lifting? Recovery is fast, but the visible change may be limited.

So the method that sits between these two is what I think of as Gangnam thread lifting.

It tends to have a shorter recovery than a facelift,

and greater change than laser lifting, so many people choose it.

In particular, Transparent V-Lifting uses a long thread that is 4 to 5 times the length of a regular single thread, so with 4 to 5 times the fixing power, it pulls from the skin’s fascial layer and can provide an effect similar to a mini facelift.

Even within the same Gangnam thread lifting procedure,

results can vary greatly depending on the type, number, and strength of the threads used.

Therefore, customized design that fits each individual’s condition is more important than anything else.

At Balance Lab Plastic Surgery near Sinsa Station,

the lifting-specialized medical team with more than 13 years of lifting experience directly developed and uses the 'Raphael Thread.'

Using the Raphael Thread, which is currently being exported to Japan as well, we provide customized lifting optimized for each patient.

At the plastic surgery clinic near Gangnam Station, we believe that every procedure should be handled differently depending on the concern and the area.

Balance Lab Gangnam thread lifting is a customized lifting approach in which the fixation points are applied differently depending on the area of concern, using A type, B type, and N type, helping with tailored improvement for each concern.

The directly developed Raphael Thread has a high density of cogs, giving it excellent fixation and adhesion, and its good elasticity makes facial expressions feel natural and comfortable even after the procedure.

In particular, for those who have experience with facial contouring surgery,

hard scar tissue (tissue fibrosis) forms inside the skin, so facial expressions may feel somewhat unnatural after a regular thread lift.

However,

by using the highly elastic Raphael Thread, this discomfort can be minimized, allowing even those with surgical experience to make free and comfortable facial expressions.

In general, when people say 'Gangnam thread lifting,' PDO threads that dissolve well in the body are used, but Balance Lab applies a PCL + PDO combination, which not only lasts 2 to 3 times longer, but also promotes collagen production in the body, so even over time you can expect natural volume and lifting effects.

As shown above, there are various methods of Gangnam thread lifting, but above all, what matters most is a customized design that fits my skin condition and concerns.

By choosing medical staff with abundant experience and know-how, you can solve the underlying cause as well as achieve ideal results.

Balance Lab Plastic Surgery near Sinsa Station proposes individualized solutions that remain naturally for a long time :)
