WHAT IS THREAD LIFTING?

Mechanical lift + collagen stimulation

Bioabsorbable PDO or PCL threads inserted under the skin to physically lift sagging cheeks and jawline. Threads dissolve over 6–12 months but the lift lasts 12–24 months thanks to collagen build-up. Common types: Mint, Wonderlift, PCL, Silhouette Soft.

FAQ.

How much does thread lifting cost in Seoul?+
Mono threads (face skin tightening): ₩300,000–₩800,000 for a full face. PDO cog threads (lifting): ₩600,000–₩2,500,000 depending on thread count and brand (Mint, Aptos, Korean MAGIC). A typical mid-face lift uses 6–12 cog threads.
How long do thread lifts last?+
PDO threads dissolve in 6–9 months but the collagen tissue around the thread tracks remains, with visible lift typically holding 12–18 months. PLA / PCL threads (less common in Seoul) last longer — up to 24 months.
Is the thread lift painful?+
Local anaesthetic is injected along the thread tracks before insertion, so the procedure itself is tolerable — most patients describe a "tugging" sensation. Tenderness and a tight feeling for 5–7 days post-procedure is normal. Mild bruising at entry points is common.
What is the downtime for thread lifts?+
5–10 days. Visible bruising or asymmetric swelling at the entry/exit points for the first 3–5 days. Sleeping on your back, no chewy/hard food, no jaw-stretching for the first week. Most patients return to work after 5–7 days.
Who is a good candidate for thread lifting?+
Mid-30s to mid-50s with mild to moderate skin laxity but reasonable underlying tissue. Threads complement Ultherapy or HIFU better than they replace them — they're a lifting layer on top of the tightening layer. Not appropriate for severely lax skin (consider a surgical SMAS lift) or for very thin/sensitive skin (high bruising risk).
