PCL Thread Lift in Busan Seomyeon
Quick answer: A PCL thread lift uses threads made of polycaprolactone (PCL), an absorbable material that dissolves more slowly than PDO, aiming for longer-lasting lift and collagen stimulation. It suits adults with mild to moderate sagging who want a longer interval between treatments. At Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon, PCL thread lifting is priced after consultation.

What makes PCL different
Polycaprolactone is a biodegradable polymer that is also used in some collagen-stimulating injectables. As a thread, it is more flexible and is absorbed more slowly than PDO. Because the material stays in the tissue for longer, it may stimulate collagen over a longer period, which is the main reason people choose it.
PCL vs. PDO at a glance
- Duration: PCL threads generally dissolve more slowly, so results may last longer.
- Feel: PCL is softer and more flexible; some people find it feels more natural with facial movement.
- Cost: PCL threads are usually a premium option compared with PDO threads .
- Track record: PDO has been used longer and comes in more styles.
Who may choose PCL
People who have had threads before and want longer intervals, those with mild-to-moderate laxity in the cheeks or jawline, and those who value gradual skin firming. It is less suitable for very heavy sagging. For targeted outlines see jawline thread lift ; for a general overview see thread lift .
Collagen-focused alternatives
If you mainly want firmness rather than lift, injectable collagen stimulators or boosters may be discussed; see Sculptra or collagen booster . All thread options are on the Thread Lifting hub .
Aftercare
For about two weeks, avoid massage, wide mouth opening, saunas and intense exercise, and keep entry points clean. Contact the clinic if you notice increasing pain, redness or a thread end near the surface.
PCL Thread Lift FAQ
What is a PCL thread lift?
A PCL thread lift uses absorbable threads made of polycaprolactone to lift mild to moderate sagging and stimulate collagen. PCL dissolves more slowly than PDO, which is why it is often chosen for longer-lasting support.
Do PCL threads last longer than PDO threads?
Generally, yes. PCL threads are absorbed more slowly, often over one to two years depending on the product, so the collagen-stimulating effect may last longer. Actual results vary between individuals.
Are PCL threads safe?
PCL is a biodegradable material also used in other medical applications. As with any thread procedure, risks include swelling, bruising, asymmetry, dimpling and, rarely, infection or thread visibility, which is why careful assessment and technique matter.
How much does a PCL thread lift cost at Daybeau Seomyeon?
PCL thread lifting is priced after consultation, since the cost depends on the number of threads and areas treated. PCL is usually a premium option compared with PDO.
