Hello.
I’m Director Lee Seong-jun of the Seoul branch of Liting Plastic Surgery.
Every time a new season begins,
we naturally look back on ourselves,
and the desire to try even small changes
often comes naturally.
In particular, recently, college students
have been trying to adapt to new environments
as they enter a new semester,
and are showing greater interest
in appearance care as well.
Office workers, too, often feel the need
for self-care after a long holiday ends or
when starting a new project.
Of course, simply changing your clothing or hairstyle
can already give a fresh image.
However, facial contours and skin elasticity
are not just about appearance;
they are factors that greatly affect
the overall first impression,
so they continue to receive attention.
Especially when detailed lines such as
the jawline, cheeks, and forehead are neatly defined,
they can create a cleaner and healthier impression,
which is why many people take interest.

Amid this trend,
as one of the relatively simple care methods,
a treatment that can provide a contouring effect
without shaving bone,
thread lifting continues to be mentioned.
Among the better-known methods,
treatments such as Shinsa thread lifting
or Gangnam lifting are often discussed.
Because they can be expected to help improve
skin elasticity and refine contours,
they are one of the care methods that
both office workers and college students take interest in.
Today, we’d like to look together at
the characteristics of thread lifting like this
and what to be careful about.
What is thread lifting?

Thread lifting is a procedure performed by
inserting specially manufactured medical threads
under the skin
and lifting sagging tissue upward.
Unlike general incision surgery,
the key feature is that the skin is not made into a large incision;
instead, the threads are inserted through small openings
and fixed in place.
Because of this,
methods such as Shinsa thread lifting
and Gangnam lifting
are often chosen as relatively low-burden care options.

The inserted threads play a role in physically
supporting the skin,
and as they are gradually absorbed by the body over time,
they are known to stimulate collagen production,
which may help maintain skin elasticity.
In other words, the threads do not simply
serve to pull;
they can also have a certain effect on
the skin environment afterward.
However, this process and its results
may differ from person to person.
Depending on various factors such as skin thickness,
electricity? (No) elasticity, age, lifestyle habits,
and recovery speed,
the degree of perceived durability or satisfaction
can vary,
so it is difficult to explain in a uniform way.
Therefore, when looking into thread lifting,
it is important to understand in advance that
“individual differences may exist,”
and after 충분히 consulting with a specialist
about whether it is the right method for you,
it is advisable to decide.
Understanding dual-method thread lifting

Thread lifting can be classified in detail
depending on the type of threads used
and the treatment method.
One of the ways it is described is
the ‘dual method.’

The dual method is characterized by a structure
in which the threads do not simply pull in one direction,
but are designed to lift tissue in two stages,
providing more stable fixation.
In other words, it can help more evenly with
contour adjustment and skin elasticity improvement
that may be difficult with a single pull.
However, this method also does not guarantee
the same effect for everyone.
Because the degree of perception may vary depending on
various factors such as an individual’s skin elasticity,
tissue condition, and age,
it is important to consult thoroughly with a specialist
before the procedure.
Shinsa thread lifting: In what cases can it be considered?

Thread lifting cannot be said to be a care method
that is absolutely necessary for everyone.
However, in some situations,
it can be one of the options worth considering.

| ✔️ When you feel that your skin elasticity is not what it used to be |
As you get older,
it is normal for the skin’s natural elasticity
to gradually decrease.
At times like this, as one relatively low-burden
care method,
thread lifting can be considered.
Its ability to physically support the skin
and stimulate collagen production
may help with a natural recovery of elasticity.

| ✔️ When the jawline or cheeks look saggy |
Facial contours play a very important role
in a first impression.
If you feel that the jawline or cheeks
look like they are losing definition,
and you want to make a change,
thread lifting can be one option.

| ✔️ When you feel that major surgery is burdensome but care is needed |
Incision surgery tends to involve a
longer recovery period and higher cost.
If you want to start with a relatively simple procedure
and experience some change,
thread lifting can be considered first.
In this way, thread lifting can be useful when you
notice reduced skin elasticity or contour changes,
but it is not applied the same way to every face.
Depending on skin condition, tissue structure,
and facial shape, the effect of the procedure can vary,
and sometimes combining it with other care methods
may lead to more satisfying
results.
In other words, Shinsa thread lifting is not a method
that becomes the ‘answer’ for everyone,
so it is important to consult sufficiently with an expert
based on your own condition and needs.
Gangnam lifting: Is it applied the same to every face?

Thread lifting is not a procedure that is suitable
on its own in every situation.
✔️ When the skin is excessively thin
✔️ When there is very little fat in the face
In such cases, the threads may not be fixed properly,
so the effect may be limited,
and rather than a standalone procedure,
it may be more appropriate to combine it
with other care methods.

For example,
when performed together with various skin care programs such as
“Benefit Booster,” which amplifies skin elasticity,
or the first step of a lifting booster,
skin care “Facefit Booster,”
Rejuran Healer, Exosome ASCE+, Pink Booster, and others,
it can supplement the procedure method depending on the individual’s condition.
However, these choices also vary depending on
the individual’s skin condition and tissue characteristics,
so for an accurate judgment,
it is important to undergo sufficient consultation
with a specialist.
One question many people ask when getting thread lifting is:
“If you get thread lifting a lot,
can’t you have a facelift surgery later?”
To give the conclusion first:
No.
Even if you have received thread lifting many times,
it does not make sense to say that you cannot
have facelift surgery.
Rather, if you continue to receive thread lifting
and keep the face in a less sagging state,
then when the effects of thread lifting start to decline,
considering traditional facelift surgery afterward
can be a more effective solution.

✅ The effect and duration
vary from person to person.
Shinsa thread lifting may feel highly satisfying
for some people,
but for others, the degree of sensation
may be smaller.
The level of results and the duration of maintenance
can vary depending on
the individual’s skin condition and tissue characteristics.
✅ Pain and recovery also
vary from person to person.
The pain felt during the procedure and
the speed of recovery afterward
are all different from person to person.
Therefore, categorical expressions such as
‘there is almost no pain’ or ‘painless’
are not appropriate.
✅ It is important to understand the information
in a balanced way.
Thinking that thread lifting alone can solve
all problems may not match reality.
It should be understood as one of several care methods,
and it is advisable to choose according to
your condition and needs.
Self-care season: Is thread lifting the answer?
Rather than being a method that becomes the
‘answer’ for everyone,
thread lifting is better viewed as one of several options
that can be considered during the self-care process,
in a more balanced perspective.
What matters most is not creating a perfect change,
but the mindset of caring for yourself
and paying attention to yourself.
Whether you are a college student preparing for a new semester,
or an office worker entering a new project and return season,
even the desire to improve yourself through small attempts
is already a meaningful process.
A heart that values and cares for oneself
can ultimately make a new beginning
feel more secure.
Thank you for reading to the end.

I hope you become more naturally youthful
today than yesterday,
and tomorrow than today.
