Hello.
I’m Wi Young-jin from Beauty’s Doctor.
When discussing thread lifting,
I often hear the question:
“How many threads need to be inserted to define the facial contours?”
Price lists and reviews often highlight the number first,
such as 4, 8, or 12 threads,
which can make it seem as though more threads will create a stronger lift.
However, the effects of Blue Rose thread lifting
are difficult to judge based on the number of threads alone.
The type of thread used and the layer in which it is inserted,
the direction in which it supports the tissue,
and the skin thickness and amount of fat are all important factors.

Three-point summary
- Blue Rose thread lifting
uses absorbable threads with barbs
to catch and support sagging tissue.
- Even with the same number of threads,
the perceived results may vary depending on
the thread’s material and structure,
the insertion layer, and the direction.
- Rather than focusing on the degree of pulling immediately after the procedure,
you should check the facial contours and left-right balance
after the swelling has subsided.
- Do all Blue Rose threads have the same structure?

Blue Rose belongs to the cog-thread category,
with barbs arranged like the thorns of a rose.
The barbs catch onto the tissue and create support.

However, even when products are presented under the same name,
the material, thickness, and length,
as well as the shape and arrangement of the barbs,
may vary by product.
Knowing only the total number of threads
makes it difficult to determine how many will be placed on each side
or which product will be used.
During your consultation, rather than focusing only on the number of threads,
also confirm the exact product and material
and the planned arrangement on each side.
- Why is the direction of placement more important than the number of threads?

Even when the same 8 threads are used,
the plan will differ between a face with little cheek fat and thin skin
and a face with thicker lower-face tissue.
This is because the starting point of the sagging,
the weight of the tissue,
and the direction in which it needs to be lifted are different.
The nasolabial area, deep cheek, and jawline
may all appear sagging,
but they may not require the same fixation points.
If there is left-right asymmetry,
rather than inserting the same number on both sides,
the direction and tension may be planned differently.
Therefore,
when estimating the effects of Blue Rose thread lifting,
both the front view and the 45-degree and side views,
as well as movement when making facial expressions,
should be examined.
Using more threads than necessary
may also increase the burden during recovery,
including swelling and bruising,
soreness, or a sensation of a foreign body.
- Is the appearance immediately after the procedure the final result?

Immediately after the procedure,
the tension of the threads, along with
swelling and tissue tightness,
may make the facial contours appear to have changed significantly.
One side may feel more lifted,
or the skin may appear slightly folded
during the early stage.

It is difficult to immediately judge
the effects of Blue Rose thread lifting
based only on the appearance during this period.

After the swelling and bruising have subsided
and the threads have settled into place,
the contours and naturalness of facial expressions
should be checked again.
Absorbable threads break down over time,
while gravity and skin aging continue as well.

When sagging is significant and the tissue is heavy,

being informed about the range of results that can be expected
from thread lifting and the differences from other methods
can also help with future planning.
- What should you check during the consultation and recovery process?

Before the procedure, tell the medical staff
about any medications you are taking and any allergies,
as well as any history of bleeding or bruising easily.
Information about recently received fillers and Botox,
laser, radiofrequency, or ultrasound treatments,
and the timing and areas of any previous thread lifting
is also important.
During the procedure, you may experience
a stinging sensation from the anesthetic injection,
pressure as the tissue is pulled,
or soreness beneath the skin.
After the procedure, do not press firmly on your face
or massage it on your own,
and temporarily reduce activities that involve
opening your mouth wide
for the period recommended by the medical staff.
Postpone saunas, alcohol consumption,
and strenuous exercise for a while,
wash your face gently,
and continue moisturizing and using sunscreen.
Also, if pain or swelling gradually worsens,
or if redness, warmth, discharge, or pus appears,
or if the thread becomes exposed,
contact the medical institution where you received the procedure.
If dimpling or asymmetry continues to worsen,
or if you notice reduced sensation
or changes in facial movement,
do not simply wait on your own; have your condition checked.
In closing
When considering the effects of Blue Rose thread lifting,
what matters is not how many threads are inserted,
but whether the necessary tissue is supported
in the correct direction.
Consider the material and structure of the product,
the layer in which it is inserted and its arrangement on each side,
as well as your current skin thickness and amount of fat.
Rather than only asking for the total number during your consultation,
ask why a particular thread is needed in that area
and what changes and limitations can be expected.

Do not draw conclusions based only on the pulling sensation immediately after the procedure.
It is not too late to decide whether additional care is needed
after checking the contours once the swelling has subsided.
Frequently asked questions
Q1. Will inserting more threads create a stronger lift?
An increase in the number of threads
does not mean that the lifting effect will increase proportionally.
The thread structure and insertion layer,
the direction of pulling, and the weight of the tissue
must all be considered together.
Q2. Do the effects of Blue Rose thread lifting appear immediately?
As the threads support the tissue,
you may feel a pulling sensation immediately after the procedure.
However, swelling and tightness may also contribute to this sensation,
so check the contours again after recovery.
Q3. How long do the results last?

This may vary depending on the thread’s material and structure,
the treatment area,
skin condition, and lifestyle habits.
Rather than assuming a set duration,
determine the timing of your next treatment while monitoring your progress.
Q4. What should I обязательно ask during the consultation?
Confirm the exact product and material of the threads to be used,
as well as the number of threads and placement direction on each side.
It is also important to ask about the interval from previous fillers or thread lifting,
expected swelling,
and symptoms that would require you to make contact.
