You Must Check This

'I want a thread lift,

but what exactly should I check?'

As you look at your reflection in the mirror and see wrinkles gradually deepening one by one,

you may be reading this post because you started thinking, "Maybe I should try a thread lift too?"

However, when you actually search for information, everything seems to be either flashy advertising or reviews, so you may have found yourself confused about what information really matters.

Many of the people who visit us in person also ask a lot of questions about whether it will be effective for their face and whether the side effects are acceptable.

So today, I’ll go through the aspects of thread lifting that many people are curious about, one by one.

This will definitely be helpful information to check before the procedure!

Hongdae Thread Lift You Must Check This

  • What is my skin condition?

  • What type of thread is it?

  • Anatomically?

Hongdae Thread Lift What is my skin condition?

Before the procedure, the most important thing is to accurately understand your current skin condition.

That is because if the procedure is not performed according to the condition of the skin, the effect may be reduced or side effects may occur.

For example, people with very thin skin may experience threads showing through or becoming bumpy to the touch.

Conversely, if the fat layer is too thick, the threads may not stay fixed, so the lifting effect may not last long or may quickly return to the original position.

Also, if you undergo the procedure while there is inflammation or acne on the skin,

the risk of infection increases,

and the risk of scarring or inflammatory pigmentation also increases.

Therefore, before the procedure, make sure to first understand your skin condition, such as elasticity, thickness, and fat layer distribution,

and be sure to check with a specialist what method of thread lifting would be appropriate.

Hongdae Thread Lift What type of thread is it?

The threads used in thread lifting come in various types depending on their ingredients.

For example, there are PDO, PLLA, and PCL, and I’ll explain each one.

  1. PDO

It is widely used as a surgical suture, has high safety, and has few side effects.

It usually dissolves after about 6 to 8 months, and while a natural lifting effect can be expected, the downside is that the duration of the effect is short.

  1. PLLA

It remains in the body for about 12 to 18 months and has excellent collagen regeneration effects.

However, it may sometimes cause allergic reactions or skin trouble, so prior confirmation is important.

  1. PCL

It breaks down the slowest and the lifting effect lasts longer, but because it can be more irritating to tissue, caution is needed for people with sensitive skin.

Thread lifting types can be divided by ingredients, but they also vary according to the shape of the thread.

There are various shapes, such as straight mono threads, cog threads with barbs, and volume threads wound like coils.

That is why, when undergoing a thread lift, it is important to choose the right thread for your skin.

During consultation, a medical professional who explains not only the thread name but also the thickness, barb direction, and fixation method in detail can be a good choice.

Hongdae Thread Lift Anatomically?

Thread lifting is not simply a procedure where you just insert threads well.

Only by accurately understanding the facial anatomical structure (nerves, blood vessels, fat layer, direction of muscles, etc.) can safe and natural results be achieved.

For example, important blood vessels and nerves pass through the temple and cheekbone areas.

If the thread is inserted at the wrong depth or in the wrong direction, side effects such as nerve damage or bleeding may occur.

In addition, the face's movements, the pattern of expression muscles, and the center of gravity of the fat must all be considered comprehensively

so that a lifting design can be created that does not make facial expressions look awkward and still appears natural.

Therefore, when you ask during consultation, "Where exactly are the threads inserted on the face?"

if the clinic explains it clearly with anatomical grounds, you can feel more reassured.

Today, I talked about the things I hope you will definitely check before a Hongdae thread lift.

As explained earlier, understanding your skin condition, choosing the right thread, and the injector's skill all contribute to the overall result, one by one.

If you are wondering, "Is a thread lift right for me?"

I recommend getting a consultation based on the criteria introduced in today's article.

Please remember that careful preparation leads to better results than a rushed decision.

Thank you. This was Hongdae Sinchon You&I^^
