Thread lift at Min Clinic Cheongdam, Seoul

What it is and how it is done

• The treatment takes about 1 hour.
• An interval of 6 months between treatments is recommended.
• Changes may begin to appear from as early as 2 to 4 weeks after treatment.
• A thread lift is a treatment that inserts special medical threads into the skin layers to physically support and lift sagging tissue.
• It can be considered even when the face has little fat.
• However, the type and number of threads and where they are placed should be decided carefully after checking skin thickness, elasticity and volume.
• It is important to plan for a natural contour that fits your facial structure rather than too much pulling.
• Anesthesia is given before treatment to reduce discomfort.
• Pressure or a pulling feeling may be felt during treatment, and temporary stiffness, tightness or a sense of something under the skin may appear afterward.
• How it feels and how recovery goes vary from person to person.

Treatment time and recovery

• Anesthetic cream is used.
• Normal daily activities are generally possible right after treatment.

Results and treatment interval

Aftercare and precautions

• Face washing and light makeup are possible from the day of treatment.
• Avoid rubbing the treated area too much or having a strong massage.
• Temporary swelling, bruising, mild tightness or a sense of something under the skin may be felt, but they usually ease gradually within 1 to 2 weeks.
• It is best to avoid saunas, alcohol and strenuous exercise for about 1 week after treatment.
• Rarely, temporary pain or stiffness may occur, and it eases naturally over time.
