Thread Lifting in Seoul
Bailor Clinic — Lift, Tighten, and Restore Definition Naturally
Thread lifting is a non-surgical facelift technique that uses absorbable medical threads to lift sagging skin, define facial contours, and stimulate collagen for long-term firmness. At Bailor Clinic, each lift is doctor-planned by vector, ensuring balanced, natural, and age-appropriate results without over-pulling.
What Thread Lifting Treats
- Sagging cheeks and jawline (jowls)
- Nasolabial and marionette folds
- Drooping mouth corners
- Loose neck or lower face
- Mild brow or mid-face descent
- Post-weight loss or aging-related laxity
How Thread Lifting Works
- Fine absorbable threads made from PDO, PCL, or PLLA are inserted under the skin.
- The threads anchor and lift tissue upward while stimulating new collagen along their path.
- Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, leaving a stronger collagen network for ongoing firmness and lift.

Treatment Journey
1) Consultation & Mapping
Your doctor analyzes face shape, skin laxity, and desired lift angle.
Lift vectors (direction and depth) are precisely mapped.
2) Local Anesthetic & Thread Insertion
Tiny entry points are made; threads are inserted using fine cannulas.
You’ll feel light pressure, not pain.
3) Tension & Symmetry Adjustment
Threads are tightened and sculpted to achieve balance and symmetry.
4) Finishing & Aftercare
Entry points are sealed, cooling is applied, and detailed instructions are provided.
Session time: 40–60 minutes.
