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.
