How a thread lift works

Dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin to pull sagging tissue upward and hold it firm. As they dissolve, they stimulate collagen, so firmness continues after the threads are gone.

Treatment is short, and the lift is visible right after the procedure. The threads do not need to be removed.

Thread types

26G fine threads (26G, 60mm) are the thinnest threads used, for delicate areas and fine lines. Cavern lifting threads add volume to hollow areas.

Silhouette Soft threads have 360-degree cones for strong hold and active collagen stimulation. PDO threads are a body-compatible material that is absorbed naturally.

The thread is chosen for your skin, the degree of sagging, the area and the result you want.

Areas treated

Threads can be used in more than 10 areas, including crow's feet, frown lines between the brows, sagging cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, the jawline for a V-line, and neck lines.

Recovery on a Seoul trip

Daily life is possible right after treatment. You may have slight swelling or bruising for a few days, which makeup usually covers. Avoid hard exercise and saunas for about a week. Recovery is usually 1 to 3 days, so a short trip is enough for most people.

A thread lift is often combined with Botox, filler, Rejuran or HIFU lifting. The director plans the order and timing with you.

Questions

Can I go out the same day?

Yes. Daily life is possible right after treatment, but avoid hard exercise and saunas for about a week. Slight swelling or bruising for a few days can usually be covered with makeup.

What does a thread lift do?

Threads lift sagging skin right away to shape a V-line, and they stimulate collagen to improve elasticity. They can address nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the eyes and the jawline. Treatment time is short, and the lift is visible from right after the procedure.

How long does a thread lift last?

Usually about 1 to 2 years, depending on the thread type and your skin. Some effect remains after the threads are absorbed because of the collagen formed.

Do the threads need to be removed?

No. The threads are dissolvable and are absorbed by the body over time, stimulating collagen as they break down.

How is the thread chosen?

The director looks at your skin, how much it sags, the area and the result you want, then chooses the thread at consultation.

Results vary by person.

Photo from the private recovery room. I was moved enough to write a review. Dr. Im Jung-woo kept me at ease right up until the sedation. At my age the weight wasn't coming off easily, so after thinking it over I had liposuction on my thighs and abdomen. The director checks on you carefully at follow-ups too. I'm still recovering, but I think it went well.

I had breast surgery with the representative director, and he's so skilled I wanted to leave a review. I really like the result. I'm going in every week for aftercare these days.

I wanted a natural change to my look, compared several places and ended up at Lahyeon. At the first consultation they listened to my concerns properly. There was no push to book a treatment; they explained honestly only what I needed, which made me trust them and decide without pressure. The result looked far more natural than I expected. People around me only said things like "you look prettier somehow". They walked me through recovery in detail and answered every question kindly, which was reassuring. If you're looking for a clinic in Gangnam and want a natural result, I'd recommend a consultation here. They don't overdo it and suggest what suits you. Overall a very good experience.

I've trusted them with my skin and scalp for over two years. I also do body care at their medical spa. It isn't cheap, but once you get used to it you can't stop. You don't notice much while you're doing it, but when you stop it really shows. If you want private care, Lahyeon is a good choice.

The clinic is clean throughout and has a private atmosphere, so I could relax during my treatment. The consultation was thorough and based on my skin's condition. Afterwards my skin felt noticeably more hydrated and even. The staff were kind too. I was satisfied.

The consultant, front desk, the doctor and the aftercare team were all kind. I was surprised; it's the first clinic like that for me. The price was fair with no padding, so I paid the deposit right after the consultation. Glad I found a clinic that felt good from start to finish.
