Bang Chan-il, Chief Director of Human Dermatology Clinic Seoul National University Branch
Hello.
This is Human Dermatology Clinic Seoul National University Branch.
When you look at your face, there are days when you suddenly become aware of skin that no longer feels as firm as before and contours that have softened. In particular, even a slight downward sagging of the cheeks can make you look tired or older. That is why many people first start thinking about “lifting.” In the past, surgical lifting was the main option, but these days more people want procedures with shorter recovery times and minimal disruption to daily life, so interest in non-surgical lifting is increasing.

Among them, it once gained great popularity for its immediate lifting effect, but recently the trend has shifted toward preferring laser lifting procedures because of concerns about side effects and how long the results last. If you want to improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, and create a natural face line, many believe that rather than a simple “pulling” procedure, laser lifting that awakens collagen within the skin and leads to fundamental elasticity improvement offers much higher long-term satisfaction.

Reducing regret after thread lifting at Seoul National University Entrance, naturally


What is thread lifting?
Thread lifting is a lifting procedure that literally inserts dissolvable threads into the skin to pull up sagging tissue. The threads are hook-shaped, so they help draw and secure loosened tissue. Because it has the advantage of showing a lifting effect after the procedure, it was often chosen when people wanted noticeable change while minimizing recovery time.
However, these days concerns remain, such as “Will it last long?” and “Will it look obvious?” Since results vary depending on the thread’s position, fixation, and insertion angle, the practitioner’s skill is very important. There are also large individual differences depending on body type, skin thickness, and amount of fat.

So even with the same thread lifting procedure, some people are satisfied while others end up looking for another lifting treatment.

Why some people regret thread lifting

With thread lifting, the results can vary greatly depending on even small differences in the depth and location where the threads are placed. If the depth is even slightly off, the skin surface may appear uneven or the threads may show through. If the fixation is not quite right, the pulling effect may not be as strong as expected. Because of this, there are many cases where people receive the procedure at places with little experience and later consider getting it redone.
After the procedure, bruising, swelling, and pain can occur, and in some cases people may also experience hollow cheeks, sunken cheeks, visible threads, or a firm texture. Of course, these usually recover over time, but many people switch to laser lifting after going through such trial and error. In other words, please remember that while it offers an immediate pulling effect, it is a procedure that has limitations in terms of naturalness, stability, and duration, and you should choose it with that in mind.

If you want lifting effects without 부담
These days, laser lifting that naturally restores the skin’s own elasticity is much more popular than physically “pulling” with threads. Through various devices such as InMode, Thermage, TenTherma, Ulthera, and DoubleTite, it is possible to improve the face line, elasticity, fine lines, pores, and firmness at the same time. In particular, because it promotes collagen regeneration, the biggest advantage is that the results can become more beautiful over time.

Compared with thread lifting, it places less burden on bruising, swelling, and asymmetry, and because it is barely noticeable, it is highly satisfying for office workers, mothers caring for children, and people who want to return to daily life quickly. If you want a lift that feels more natural than an immediate pull and lasts well over the long term, laser lifting can be a much more realistic choice.

At Human Dermatology Clinic Seoul National University Branch, we use genuine products in the proper amount, and safe treatment with genuine tips and equipment is our principle. In lifting, not only the device specifications but also the condition of the tip the practitioner uses, the treatment depth, and the energy settings determine the result, so having good equipment alone is not enough. At our clinic, after comprehensively diagnosing elasticity, skin thickness, fat distribution, and line asymmetry, we provide the most suitable lifting solution.

From consultation to procedure and aftercare, we provide a one-on-one customized system, and because a board-certified dermatologist performs the procedure directly, the principle is to avoid unnecessary pain, excessive energy, and over-treatment. Rather than forced thread lifting, we place the greatest importance on “natural elasticity improvement that suits my face.”Seoul National University Entrance


Lifting is not simply a procedure where a machine is used; it is a treatment that requires a medical approach based on understanding the structure of the skin layers, the SMAS layer, fascia, and fat layer. This is why the results can differ from doctor to doctor even with the same device. To achieve beautiful results without side effects, the procedure must be performed on the correct layer, with appropriate energy, and tailored to the individual.

In particular, if you have experience with thread lifting, have thin skin, or have significant loss of elasticity, a more delicate diagnosis is essential, so whether the procedure is performed by a board-certified dermatologist is a key factor that greatly affects satisfaction with lifting. The machine matters, but in the end, please remember that “the doctor’s eye for your skin” determines the result.

Thread lifting is a topic that interests everyone, but once you actually try to choose a method, the 고민 tends to deepen. Whether it is a method that strongly pulls the skin up with threads or a method that restores elasticity within the skin with lasers, the goal is ultimately the same: to look a little younger, a little brighter, and to recover the face line you naturally have. However, the process, results, and burden differ greatly depending on the method, so careful choice is necessary.
In particular, because lifting is a procedure that requires understanding the structure inside the skin, it is important to receive sufficient consultation from an experienced board-certified dermatologist and accurately assess your skin condition. If you work with medical staff who have extensive procedural experience, you can avoid unnecessary treatments and choose only the methods that fit your face, regaining elasticity without added burden.
