Lively, elastic skin is an essential element for achieving a “youthful-looking face.” As a youthful appearance has become a widely preferred standard in recent years, many people, regardless of gender or age, are paying close attention to skin care in order to look even a little younger.
However, many people feel disappointed after trying cosmetics said to be highly effective for wrinkle improvement and investing more time in professional skin care, only to find the results less noticeable than expected. As a result, so-called anti-aging cosmetic procedures that aim to improve wrinkles and sagging skin have recently been drawing significant attention, and among them, thread lifting is receiving the greatest spotlight.
Thread lifting is a type of facial lifting procedure that uses injections and special medical threads without incisions to pull and fix wrinkles in the desired direction according to the contours of the skin. It is a customized procedure that aims to improve sagging and wrinkles together in each area, such as nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the mouth, sagging front cheekbones, and the jawline.
Because thread lifting uses special bidirectional barbs to add elasticity and volume to sagging areas, it gives the face a more three-dimensional look, and a more youthful effect can be expected. Another reason for the popularity of thread lifting is that, along with improving facial wrinkles, it can also aim for a slim V-line. How much changes varies from person to person.
In the past, lifting procedures were strongly perceived as treatments only for older people, but recently they have been gaining more attention from a wide range of age groups, including people in their 20s. Those in their 20s and 30s can expect improvements in skin elasticity and the V-line, while those in their 40s, 50s, and above can expect wrinkle improvement. In addition, depending on the person, skin tone may also look more even, making the complexion appear brighter.
In addition, thread lifting has a short procedure time for each area and is a non-incisional procedure, so the burden of scarring and swelling is relatively low and the recovery period tends to be short. Therefore, even busy office workers can try it with less worry about setting aside time.
Dr. Hwang Ho, director of Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, said, “Unlike conventional lifting methods that pull upward from bottom to top, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s thread lifting is performed by crossing the threads from the inside outward according to the direction of the wrinkles, with the aim of letting patients keep a natural smile even after the procedure.”
Director Hwang added, “From preoperative consultation to postoperative recovery care, we pursue each individual’s harmonious beauty through systematic one-on-one customized cosmetic surgery. We completely exclude the participation of substitute doctors in all procedures and surgeries, so the operating surgeon performs every surgery personally, and we always place patient safety and surgical outcomes as our top priorities.”
Meanwhile, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery provides care based on its high-level medical system and know-how built on many years of surgical experience.
