Thread Lifting in Sinsa·Cheongdam·Apgujeong | Pladen Skin Clinic Gangnam
A cleaner jawline, lifted cheeks, and a naturally tightened face — thread lifting is one of Gangnam’s most popular treatments for subtle, elegant facial rejuvenation.
What Is Thread Lifting?
Thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable threads placed beneath the skin to lift sagging areas, redefine facial lines, and stimulate collagen.
These threads create an internal support structure that gently elevates and tightens the skin.
Thread lifting improves:
- Early jowls
- Lower-face heaviness
- Droopy cheeks
- Soft jawline
- Nasolabial folds
- Mild neck sagging
- Skin laxity
It delivers immediate lifting with natural results that continue improving as collagen forms.
Why Thread Lifting Is Popular in Gangnam
Sinsa, Cheongdam, and Apgujeong prefer treatments that lift without making the face look stiff or unnatural.
Thread lifting fits perfectly into this K-beauty philosophy.
Patients love thread lifting because it offers:
- Instant lifting effect
- Subtle, natural contour
- Minimal downtime
- Non-surgical alternative to facelift
- Collagen boost for long-term improvement
- Customizable lifting direction
- No large swelling or drastic change
It's ideal for patients who want a cleaner, more defined facial line without surgery.

How Thread Lifting Works
Once inserted, the threads:
- Lift sagging tissue immediately
- Stimulate collagen production
- Improve firmness and elasticity
- Redefine facial contours over time
The threads gradually dissolve, but the collagen structure remains to support long-lasting results.
Expect ongoing improvement for 2–6 months after treatment.

During the session:

How Long Do Results Last?
Most thread lifts last 12–18 months, depending on:
- Age
- Skin elasticity
- Thread type
- Lifestyle
Maintenance sessions keep the lift clean and natural.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Thread lifting is ideal if you want:
- Early lifting without surgery
