Thread lift
Safety-validated medical threads improve laxity and sagging by physical lifting.
An option for those who want a more noticeable lift than energy devices alone while staying non-surgical.
Designed around your own contour, proportion and skin condition, keeping your features while improving naturally and harmoniously.
How it works
- 01 | Direct liftImproves facial laxity.
- 02 | Collagen stimulationImproves skin condition.
KFDA-approved medical threads made of PDO (polydioxanone), which gradually break down and are absorbed by the body.
The degree of lift, longevity and recovery vary with the individual, thread type and plan.
Changes after treatment
- 6–8 months: the thread material is gradually absorbed.
- Even after absorption, continued collagen synthesis helps maintain the lift.
- More dermal collagen improves elasticity and firmness.
