Thread Lifting in Gangnam, Seoul

Quick answer: A thread lift places absorbable medical threads (such as PDO or PCL) with tiny cogs under the skin to reposition sagging tissue immediately, then stimulate collagen as they dissolve. It suits jowls, cheeks and the jawline when you want a visible lift without surgery. At AMRED Clinic in Cheongdam, Gangnam, thread vectors are planned on EVE V 3D analysis and swelling usually settles within days.

How threads lift

Threads are inserted through small entry points with a fine cannula. Barbs or cones grip tissue and the doctor lifts along planned vectors. Over months the thread dissolves and leaves collagen behind.

Planning on a trip

Allow two to four days in Seoul in case of swelling, and avoid wide mouth opening, facial massage and saunas for the period your doctor advises. Threads combine well with Ultherapy Prime for longer-lasting support.
