“Your skin is good, but the facial line has lost its firmness.”

When I consult on lifting in Mokdong, I often hear comments like this.

“The nasolabial folds have deepened, and my jawline has become blurry.”

“I also tried laser treatment, but I didn’t really feel a definite lifting effect.”

In cases like this, the procedure I often recommend is thread lifting.

Thread lifting is, quite literally, a procedure that inserts special threads into the skin to physically pull up sagging tissue.

However, what matters more than simply “how many threads are inserted” is which parts of the face need to be pulled, in what direction, and by how much.

As we age, the skin becomes thinner and facial fat descends, reducing elasticity.

At this time, the fibrous tissue that supports the skin loosens, causing the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline to sag.

While laser lifting stimulates collagen inside the skin and slowly tightens it,

thread lifting differs in that it can provide immediate physical lifting.

Various types of thread lifting

Thread lifting inserts dissolvable threads into the skin to pull up sagging tissue.

These threads are naturally absorbed after a certain period of time,

and in the process, they help induce collagen regeneration, improving skin elasticity.

In other words,

first, there is an immediate lifting effect from the “pulling” action,

and later, you can expect long-term improvement in elasticity through “collagen production.”

  1. The effects of thread lifting

  1. Effects

• Improvement of nasolabial folds and sagging cheeks

• Refinement of the jawline and double chin

• Improved impression (from a tired-looking face to a clearer impression)

• Restoration of skin elasticity

  1. Duration

• Average: 1 year to 1.5 years (varies by person)

• With consistent care, elasticity retention may improve

These days, there are so many types of thread lifting. Cog threads, Mint threads, and more—there are many different names.

But during consultations, I always say this:

“More important than the name of the thread is designing where and in what direction it should be pulled.”

For example,

• If nasolabial folds are a concern → design centered on the midface

• If the jawline has become saggy → pull toward the lower face and double chin

• If there is hollowness below the cheekbones → correct volume with upper cheek lifting

In other words, the “direction” in which the thread is inserted determines the result of the lift.

• If the nasolabial folds are deep and the cheeks are sagging

• If laser treatment alone is not enough, but surgery feels too burdensome

• If the jawline has lost definition and the face looks less distinct

• If you want a noticeable change within a short recovery period

Thread lifting is especially effective for patients in their 30s and 40s, when “the skin is still okay, but sagging has just started.”

  1. Aftercare

• Bruising and swelling: usually subside naturally within 1 to 2 weeks

• Posture: do not lie on your side for 2 weeks after the procedure

• Facial habits: avoid excessive smiling and opening the mouth wide (helps maintain the initial lift)

• Skin care: support the collagen regeneration environment by maintaining sun protection and hydration

Thread lifting may feel taut immediately after the procedure,

but after 2 to 3 weeks, the skin stabilizes and a natural lifting line is completed.

  1. Synergy when combined with laser lifting

Image for better understanding

Thread lifting is effective on its own,

but when combined with laser lifting such as Ulthera, Thermage, or InMode, the results are much better.

• Thread lifting: immediate pulling

• Laser lifting: strengthening the skin layer through collagen regeneration

In other words, a dual structure of “laser for surface elasticity, threads for internal lifting” makes natural and long-lasting lifting possible.

If you are considering thread lifting in Mokdong,

instead of asking, “Which type of thread is the best?”

you should first think about “What would be the most natural way to pull the right areas of my face?”

• If skin elasticity loss is mild → laser lifting

• If sagging is moderate → thread lifting

• If elasticity loss + deep wrinkles → threads + laser together

Lifting is not determined by the name of the thread. What ultimately creates the result is the hand that understands the facial structure and designs the treatment in the right direction.
