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.

Patients choose Pladen because:

  • Customized lift direction based on facial anatomy
  • Balanced approach that avoids “pulled” or artificial look

  • Natural, elegant outcomes
  • Use of premium, long-lasting thread materials

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.

What to Expect During Treatment

Thread lifting at Pladen is comfortable and efficient.

During the session:

  • Numbing is applied for comfort
  • Threads are gently inserted through tiny entry points
  • Lift is adjusted in real time
  • The procedure takes 20–40 minutes

After treatment:

  • Mild swelling or tightness is normal
  • Most patients resume normal activities within 1–2 days
  • Bruising is minimal thanks to delicate techniques

Results are visible immediately and continue improving.

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
  • A more defined V-line
  • Softer jowls
  • Subtle cheek elevation
  • Prevention of midface sagging
  • Natural, non-volumizing lifting

It’s suitable for patients in their late 20s to 50s, depending on goals.

Aftercare Tips

To protect your lift:

  • Avoid heavy chewing for 1–2 days
  • Sleep on your back for a week
  • Avoid vigorous workouts for 3–5 days
  • Skip saunas or high heat temporarily
  • Do not massage the treated area

The lift becomes more natural as tissues settle.
