Thread Lift in Busan Seomyeon
Quick answer: A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure in which fine, dissolvable medical threads are inserted under the skin to reposition mild to moderate sagging and support collagen production. It suits adults with early jowls, softening cheeks or a less defined jawline who are not looking for surgery. At Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon, thread lifting is planned and priced after consultation.

How a thread lift works
Through small entry points, the physician guides threads under the skin with a fine needle or cannula. Barbed or cogged threads grip the soft tissue so it can be gently lifted and anchored; smooth threads mainly add support and stimulate collagen. The threads dissolve gradually, while the collagen formed around them may help maintain firmness.
Types of threads
- PDO threads: the most widely used material, absorbed over several months.
- PCL threads: a slower-dissolving material designed for longer collagen support.
- Mint threads: a brand of barbed PDO thread often used for lifting.
Who it suits
Thread lifting is generally suited to mild-to-moderate laxity in the mid and lower face, with reasonable skin quality. Very heavy sagging or loose skin may respond better to surgery. People with active skin infection, certain bleeding risks or unrealistic expectations are not good candidates. Targeted plans include the V-line thread lift and jawline thread lift .
Thread lift vs. energy-based lifting
Threads physically reposition tissue, whereas ultrasound and RF devices tighten through heat with no incisions. Many plans combine both; see face lifting and non-surgical face lifting .
Aftercare
For about 1–2 weeks, avoid wide mouth opening, facial massage, saunas and strenuous exercise, and sleep on your back if possible. Mild dimpling or tightness usually settles. Contact the clinic for pain, increasing redness or fever.
