Thread Lift in Seoul

Thread lifts are one of Seoul’s most popular minimally invasive lifting treatments, chosen by those who want noticeable tightening and contouring without the downtime of surgery. Using dissolvable threads placed beneath the skin, this procedure lifts sagging areas, improves facial definition, and stimulates collagen for long-lasting firmness. Seoul is known for advanced thread techniques and refined results that look natural, not over-pulled.

What Is a Thread Lift?

A thread lift uses medical-grade dissolvable threads to:

  • Lift sagging skin
  • Improve facial structure
  • Increase collagen production
  • Smooth lines and restore youthful contours

As the threads dissolve, they trigger collagen and elastin formation, giving the skin long-lasting improvement even after the thread material disappears.

Areas Commonly Treated

In Seoul, thread lifts can be performed on many facial and body areas, including:

  • Jawline
  • Cheeks
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Eyebrows
  • Under-eye area
  • Neck
  • Jowls
  • Midface and lower face
  • Nose bridge and tip (in certain thread techniques)

Types of Threads Used in Seoul

Seoul offers a range of advanced thread materials designed for different goals.

1. PDO Threads

Polydioxanone threads commonly used for tightening and mild lifting.
Best for: early sagging, skin texture improvement, and subtle lift.

2. PLLA Threads

Poly-L-lactic acid threads encourage stronger collagen stimulation.
Best for: deeper wrinkles, midface lifting, and long-lasting firmness.

3. PCL Threads

Polycaprolactone threads last the longest and offer strong lifting power with gradual tightening.
Best for: moderate sagging and long-term rejuvenation.

4. Cog Threads

Threads with small barbs or hooks that anchor into tissue for stronger lifting.

5. Mono Threads

Smooth threads used for collagen boosting and skin tightening rather than lifting.

Different thread types are often combined to create personalized results.

Benefits of Thread Lifts

What to Expect During the Procedure

  1. Numbing cream or local anesthesia is applied.
  2. Threads are placed under the skin using fine cannulas or needles.
  3. The practitioner adjusts the tension to achieve the desired lift.
  4. The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes.

Most people return to normal activities the next day with slight swelling or tenderness.

Results & Longevity

  • Immediate lift is visible right after the procedure.
  • Collagen production increases over the next 4–12 weeks.
  • Results typically last 12–24 months, depending on thread type and skin condition.

Periodic maintenance can help extend and refresh results.

Downtime & Aftercare

Most people experience:

  • Mild swelling

  • Temporary tightness or pulling sensation

Aftercare often includes:

  • Avoiding heavy chewing for 24–48 hours
  • Sleeping on your back for several days

These precautions help the threads settle in place.
