A Place Near Gangnam Station That Does Thread Lifting Well: An Honest Opinion from a Current Dermatology Clinic Director

How to Choose a Dermatology Clinic That Does Thread Lifting Well Near Gangnam Station

Hello.

Become beautiful only as much as necessary,

I am Imira, a doctor who performs skin procedures.

I often hear from patients that deciding where to receive a procedure was harder than deciding which procedure to get. Especially among the many dermatology procedures available, thread lifting is not easy when it comes to choosing a ‘good clinic,’ because there are so many kinds of lifting threads and the results can vary greatly.

(I really do hear firsthand about the honest concerns of patients who come in for thread lifting. ^^;)

Above all, the internet is full of abstract advice such as “look for rich clinical experience” or “look for enough know-how,” which makes it even harder to judge.

So then, what specific conditions should a clinic that does thread lifting well have?

Today’s column will share detailed and honest opinions about the actual conditions that affect results, based on my clinical experience with thread lifting so far. The conditions for a clinic that does thread lifting well are not that difficult, so please follow along step by step. 😊

A Clinic That Does Thread Lifting Well

Conditions for a Dermatology Clinic That Does Thread Lifting Well Near Gangnam Station

Before discussing the conditions of a clinic that does thread lifting well, you need to understand that thread lifting is not simply a procedure that inserts threads and pulls the skin. Thread lifting is a procedure that not only provides physical lifting by pulling sagging skin, but also has the effect of redistributing fat by lifting fat along with the sagging skin, so it requires more calculation than you might think.

If the procedure is done well?

The facial line improves smoothly and softly, and at the same time, you can return to the version of yourself from 10 years ago. That is why choosing a clinic that does it well is important.

Check whether customized design is performed. Before receiving not only thread lifting but any dermatology procedure, you may have heard many times that “customized design” is important. Customized design really is an important factor, enough to be emphasized 10 or 100 times.

In particular, thread lifting cannot be performed in the same way for every patient. Obviously, everyone has different face shape, skin elasticity, degree of sagging, degree of asymmetry, and so on, so customized design is an essential process.

For example, there are many different types, such as a face shape with developed jaw and cheekbones that gives a strong impression, or a long face with little volume. If thread lifting is performed in the same way for all patients without considering these differences, the procedure is likely to result in an awkward outcome or worsen asymmetry.

Let me explain it easily with a simple example.

1. When the cheekbones are prominent

If the design does not take prominent cheekbones into account, the cheekbones may look even more pronounced after thread lifting. For someone with prominent cheekbones, thread lifting can be used to readjust fat distribution after the procedure to soften the facial contour.

2. When the face is long and lacks volume

If thread lifting raises the cheekbone and cheek area, the face may appear shorter than before and the face shape may change to look rounder. By redistributing fat from sagging areas to areas that lack volume, you can also see a volume-increasing effect. And for people like this, doing additional fat grafting or fillers together can create a synergistic effect.

3. In the case of an asymmetrical face

Asymmetry often appears in the jawline or cheekbones. To correct asymmetry, it is not a matter of inserting the same number of threads on both sides of the face; the number of threads and the insertion direction must be adjusted according to the problem area. For example, if one side of the jawline is more sagging, the approach is to insert more threads in that area or pull more strongly to lift it, while naturally matching the opposite side.

4. In the case of severe sagging

For a face where skin elasticity has declined due to aging and the fat layer has dropped downward, thread lifting not only creates immediate lifting through its physical effect after the threads are inserted, but also promotes collagen production, which strengthens skin elasticity and skin thickness and improves facial firmness. For these cases, it is even better to combine skin boosters such as Rejuran or Juvelook, or to combine the procedure with Oligio, which has a skin-tightening effect.

In addition, the placement and type of threads should vary depending on skin thickness and elasticity.

2. A place that sufficiently explains realistic expectations

1. Avoid clinics that encourage excessive expectations

Thread lifting is an effective procedure that improves skin elasticity and reduces sagging, but it is not a magic procedure that perfectly turns the skin of someone in their 50s into the skin of someone in their 20s. Rather than completely eliminating the changes caused by aging, it is a procedure that improves the current condition, slows the progression of aging, and returns you to a look from about 10 years earlier.

For example, if we assume a patient in their 50s with sagging cheeks and a weakened jawline receives thread lifting, the procedure can make the jawline smoother and sharper and the skin firmer, but returning to skin as tight as in the 20s or 30s is realistically difficult.

Therefore, you should check whether the medical team honestly explains the improvements and limitations possible with thread lifting. Trust between patient and medical team comes from honest communication, and this is an important factor that determines satisfaction after the procedure.

Why realistic expectations matter for thread lifting near Gangnam Station

2. If it is your first procedure, feeling burdened is natural

People receiving thread lifting for the first time have a lot to worry about before the procedure.

“Will this procedure really be effective?”

“Won’t it hurt to insert threads into the face?”

“What if side effects occur?”

These questions can keep circling in your mind and increase anxiety.

Because the outcome cannot be predicted and the procedure itself is unfamiliar, feeling various anxieties is completely natural. So, if a patient feels the need for thread lifting but is anxious and burdened because it is their first procedure, the clinic or medical team should be able to explain that it is also possible to start with small goals rather than trying to make big changes from the beginning.

For example, you could try a lifting laser first, or start by lifting a local area such as nasolabial folds or the jawline, and then expand to other areas after confirming satisfactory results. Rather than making the patient feel burdened by saying, “all areas must be improved at once,” if the medical team helps them take a step-by-step approach, the patient can receive the procedure with much greater peace of mind.

3. Check whether various thread combinations are possible

There are many different types of threads used in thread lifting, and each thread plays a different role depending on the area and purpose. Therefore, appropriately combining lifting threads according to the patient’s condition is definitely a way to improve results.

Type of lifting thread	Main features	Suitable areas	Effect
Aptos thread, Mint thread	Threads with special barbs that firmly anchor tissue	Full-face lifting (jawline, midface, double chin)	Immediate lifting, strong fixation effect
Cansellina thread	Made with PCL ingredient, with lifting effect and durability	Full-face lifting (jawline, midface, double chin)	Immediate lifting, longer-lasting than Aptos/Mint threads
Silhouette Soft	Made with PLLA ingredient, cones attached to the thread anchor tissue	Jawline, cheeks, double chin	Skin lifting, volume restoration, long-term collagen production for skin improvement
Jamber thread	Thread made in a spring shape	Under-eye area, nasolabial folds, marionette lines	Volume creation, maintaining elasticity
Elasticity-maintaining thread	Basic PDO thread without barbs or hooks	Jawline, above nasolabial folds, deep cheeks, double chin	Skin elasticity improvement rather than lifting

To explain by area,

If someone only wants improvement in nasolabial folds, they can use Aptos/Mint threads for midface lifting and then use Jamber thread on the nasolabial folds or an elasticity-maintaining thread above the nasolabial folds.

If someone wants to improve the jawline and midface at the same time, it is good to strongly lift the sagging jawline/midface with Aptos/Mint threads and increase durability with Cansellina thread.

Lastly, if cheekbone prominence and hollow cheeks are the concern, it is effective to perform lifting with Aptos/Mint threads and then use Silhouette Soft to help restore volume and create a more three-dimensional facial line.

Thread lifting near Gangnam Station, an appropriate combination

But! A combination is not always necessary. Using various threads in combination is not always essential in thread lifting. Depending on the purpose of the procedure and the individual’s skin condition, a single thread alone can still produce satisfying results. In other words, the decision can be made by considering the patient’s desired improvement areas and budget, and the procedure can be done either on its own or in combination.

Summary and Conclusion

1. Customized design

It is important to carefully analyze the facial structure, asymmetry, skin thickness, and elasticity of the face, and to design the appropriate angle and direction of thread insertion for each patient. A design tailored to the characteristics of each area, such as the cheekbones, jawline, and hollow cheeks, is essential.

2. Explanation of realistic expectations

Thread lifting is a procedure that improves the current condition and slows aging, so rather than expecting magical changes, you should set reasonable improvement goals.

3. Whether various thread combinations are possible

It should be possible to understand the characteristics of various threads such as Aptos, Mint thread, Cansellina thread, Silhouette Soft, Jamber thread, and elasticity-maintaining thread, and to appropriately combine them according to the patient’s condition and goals to maximize results. However, combinations are not necessary in every case, and a single thread alone can be enough to achieve satisfying results.
