Thread Lifting: Types of Threads for a Natural Lift



Beauty standards can differ from person to person, but I think the one thing everyone commonly pursues is looking youthful.

Even as we get older, the desire for healthy, firm skin like we had in our younger years

seems to be something that does not change over time.

While these standards may be expressed differently by each person,

most people share a similar wish to turn back time.



Today, I will talk about thread lifting as one of the lifting methods for looking youthful, something everyone hopes and wants.

Thread lifting is a method that naturally lifts the skin and improves the facial line,

and it is one of the procedures many people consider for aesthetic purposes.

However, even though this procedure may seem common and simple,

it is important to recognize that side effects can occur if it is not performed properly.



Therefore, if you are considering thread lifting,

it is advisable to consult with a specialist who can perform the procedure based on a thorough understanding

of the face's structure and skin condition.

In particular, having the procedure done at a plastic surgery clinic with extensive experience in procedures such as facial contouring surgery

can help achieve safer and more effective results.



Types of Threads for Thread Lifting

First, there is something called Mint Thread.

Mint Thread is the most basic thread used in thread lifting and is known for being cost-effective.

It has strong pulling power in one direction, so it can help with sagging areas or deep wrinkles.

Next is Epiticon Thread.

This thread has cones attached in 360 directions, and its shape is said to look like a ribbon.

Because it has the characteristic of balancing force well, it can help minimize side effects such as uneven indentations in the skin.

This thread can be helpful for cheek fat or nasolabial folds.

Lastly, there is BOB Thread.

BOB Thread uses a pressing method to pull and fix tissue evenly with consistent force.

It uses roughly twice as many cones as the existing Cork Thread,

so it can be mainly used for overall facial wrinkles, especially cheek sagging or a double chin where sagging is severe.



When people undergo thread lifting, unlike surgery,

they naturally want to see immediate results without having to consider the time needed for swelling or settling.



So when these three types of thread lifting are used, they can offer not only a lifting effect

but also an effect that enhances certain areas in balance with both sides of the face.

In addition, because the procedure can be repeated, some people receive it multiple times.

※ Depending on the individual, side effects such as inflammation, bleeding, and nerve damage may occur, so sufficient consultation with medical staff is necessary before surgery.
