What is a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is a non-invasive, skin-rejuvenation method that uses medical-grade, dissolvable sutures to improve skin elasticity and lift facial sagging. The threads used are made of biodegradabl, harmless materials such as PDO, PLLA, and PCL that naturally break down over time. As they dissolve, they stimulate deep dermal collagen production, making this one of the most widely trusted and popular non-surgical lifting procedures.
01. PDO
PDO thread is made by compressing protein components suitable for the human body from a high-molecular substance. Even after the short-term lifting effect, the thread slowly dissolves, increasing collagen in the dermis, which helps improve elasticity and wrinkles.
02. PLLA
PLLA is manufactured from poly-L-lactic acid, a type of lactic acid extracted mainly from fruits. It has excellent collagen-stimulating properties and is used as a premium collagen treatment material similar to Sculptra, with very strong fixation power within the skin.
03. PCL
PCL can simply be described as an upgraded version of PDO thread.
Compared to PDO thread, it lasts longer, has superior elasticity, and is softer, making it less likely to be felt compared to other threads.

Effective lifting and anatomical knowledge are key
The face has many tissues and structures formed in a small area.
For a definitive lifting effect, it’s crucial to understand both the visible signs and underlying changes of aging to address the issues effectively.
Indeed, diagnosis, surgery, and aftercare by a plastic surgeon well-versed in facial anatomy and with a wealth of surgical and clinical experience are integral to successful outcomes.
While we cannot demonstrate our techniques in person, we can describe them verbally and in writing. Rest assured, our surgical skills and the satisfaction they bring will speak for themselves.

Seojin offers customized lifting with a diverse lineup tailored to your goals
Ultra V Thread
A representative PCL-based lifting thread
It has excellent longevity and though results vary by individual, it is a lifting thread that lasts up to 2 years. It is particularly effective for elasticity and fine wrinkles due to its active collagen stimulation.
Mint Thread
A representative PDO-based lifting thread
Manufactured using a molding method, it is highly rated for its strong pulling power, durability, and fixation strength in the skin.
Epiticon Thread
A representative PDO-based lifting thread
Made using a molding cog method with a patented multi-unit structure, its key feature is that the lifting effect is maintained even if the thread breaks inside the body.
Tornado Thread
The Tornado Thread uses PDO thread with even stronger lifting effect and longer duration than conventional PDO threads. The knots of the Tornado thread act as support anchors, resulting in outstanding lifting performance.

Procedural Synergy for maximum effect
There are various procedures and surgeries that can compliment non-invasive face lifting, boosting the overall effect.
Mini Lifting
Removing the excess skin pulled up through minimal incisions and closing with fine sutures — a semi-permanent procedure that maximizes the lifting effect.
laser lifting
By removing fat, we enhance skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, amplify contouring effects, and extend the duration of results.
Liposuction & Grafting
Contours are improved through liposuction and fat grafting on protruding or sagging areas, which can occur due to aging.

If the Surgeon is Inexperienced
An inexperienced liposuction surgeon might cause damage to surrounding tissues like skin, muscles, and nerves, leading to various side effects.
The Seojin Difference
Long-term expertise and experience greatly increase the likelihood of extracting only pure fat, minimizing risks and side effects by reducing contact with surrounding tissues.
