Hongdae Thread Lifting,

3 Ways to Avoid Regret

“After getting thread lifting, I heard that my face

looked even more awkward.”

When the skin starts to sag due to aging, lifting is one of the most commonly considered procedures.

There are various laser lifting devices, such as radiofrequency and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), and over time they can be expected to gradually lift the face.

However, with laser lifting, collagen production takes time, so those who want faster changes may feel disappointed.

In such cases, thread lifting is a procedure that can be considered as an alternative.

That said, many people hesitate because they worry that thread lifting may look awkward or cause side effects such as indentations.

Today, I’ll explain how to receive thread lifting more safely and naturally.

What is thread lifting?

Thread lifting is a procedure in which medical threads are inserted into the skin and used to lift sagging skin through traction.

The threads used in this procedure do more than simply pull; over time, they are absorbed into the body and promote collagen production.

As a result, you can expect both an immediate lifting effect and a gradual improvement in elasticity.

Threads are classified by their material, and each type differs in duration and flexibility.

First, PDO thread is the most commonly used material. Its duration is relatively shorter than that of other threads, but it can provide a natural and stable lifting effect.

PCL thread is more flexible than PDO, making it suitable for areas with a lot of movement, and it has the advantage of allowing for more precise design.

Another type of thread strongly induces collagen production and is characterized by a longer duration and relatively noticeable changes.

Because each thread has different characteristics and duration, it is important to understand them well before choosing.

Things you must check before the procedure

The awkwardness or indentation issues commonly feared with thread lifting can be prevented if only a few key factors are properly observed.

  1. Choosing the type of thread

Threads are classified not only by material but also by shape.

Mono threads have a smooth surface without barbs. They do not have strong traction, but they help induce collagen production and are suitable for naturally supplementing volume.

Jamber threads have a spiral structure, offering excellent elasticity and support, and they help add volume to sunken areas.

Cocoon threads have a cone-shaped structure and create a lifting effect while gently repositioning the skin.

Because each thread has different characteristics, it is important to choose one that matches the individual’s skin condition and concerns.

  1. Thread insertion location

Just as important as the type of thread is where and how it is inserted.

If a thread is inserted too superficially, it may become visible through the skin or protrude.

On the other hand, if it is not inserted accurately into the proper layer, indentations or asymmetry may occur.

In general, it is important to place the thread securely in the subcutaneous fat layer and pull it with appropriate tension.

Also, thread lifting is not simply a procedure that “pulls things up”; it is a procedure in which design tailored to the facial structure and degree of sagging is important.

Even when using the same thread, the result can vary greatly depending on which area it is inserted into, how many threads are used, and in which direction they are inserted.

Therefore, it is important to check whether the procedure is being carried out with an individualized plan rather than in a one-size-fits-all manner.

Hongdae thread lifting is a procedure that uses medical threads to provide an immediate lifting effect while also offering improved elasticity over time.

However, the results can vary greatly depending on which thread is chosen and where and how it is inserted.

If these factors are carefully considered and approached thoughtfully, it will help achieve a more natural and satisfying result.
