Thread lifting process
After deciding the treatment area and design, threads are inserted into the skin layer with a cannula to pull up sagging skin and immediately improve wrinkles and firmness. As the skin is pulled, the contour line also becomes smoother.

A state with wrinkles and sagging in the cheeks, nasolabial folds, mouth corners, neck and other areas
Thread lifting procedure
After anesthesia, the thread lifting is performed according to the design. The design may vary depending on wrinkles and face shape.
After the procedure
Wrinkles and sagging improve immediately after the procedure, changing toward a firm, youthful face.
