Thread Lifting

Also called PDO Thread Lift

Thread lifting is a procedure in which PDO (polydioxanone) threads, which are absorbed by the body after a certain period, are inserted beneath the skin through a thin tube (cannula) without an incision, lifting sagging skin and adding firmness. After checking your skin condition, including skin thickness and elasticity, we choose the type and length of thread suited to you and lift the areas that need it as much as needed.

Subtly enhancing your natural beauty with just the right touches

A simple addition can change the entire impression.
For a natural beauty, ETONNE adheres to the basics, analyzing properly and caring thoroughly.

Adding Resilience

We check the skin's condition, including thickness and elasticity, and select the type and length of thread suited to each individual.
With biocompatible threads that are naturally absorbed after a certain period, we lift the desired areas as much as needed,
creating firm, elastic skin.

Enhanced Naturally

A lift with less burden, since there is no incision. Comfortable facial muscle movement. A board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive lifting experience

Precautions

After the procedure, swelling, bruising, or a pulling or stiff sensation may occur; bruising and swelling usually subside within 1–2 weeks, but how long this takes varies from person to person. In thread lifting, the threads are inserted through a thin tube (cannula) without an incision. Dimpling, in which the skin where a thread was placed becomes indented, may occur; in most cases it disappears within 1 week, but if it persists, additional treatment may be needed. The skin surface may look bumpy for a while or a left–right difference may occur, and depending on how deep the threads were placed, you may feel tingling or reduced sensation for a while. While the pulling or stiff sensation remains, massaging your face or making exaggerated expressions may cause the threads to break or reduce the effect, so please avoid these for the period advised after the procedure. In rare cases, a hypersensitivity reaction to the anesthetic medication, infection, or inflammation may occur, and additional treatment may be needed in some cases. Very rarely, the end of a thread may be felt or may come out through the skin; if this happens, do not pull or cut the thread, and please visit the clinic. Pigmentation, in which the skin turns darker, may develop where inflammation occurred, so please apply sunscreen after the procedure. The inserted threads are absorbed over about 6 months, and the lifting effect lasts about 1.5–2 years, varying from person to person depending on the type of thread, skin condition, and degree of sagging. Please tell us at your pre-procedure consultation about any medications you take, including blood thinners such as anticoagulants, as well as any medical conditions, allergies, whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and whether you smoke. For the period advised after the procedure, please avoid alcohol and saunas, and contact the clinic if anything feels unusual. Please make your decision after you have been fully informed of the risks and of alternative options. Results and recovery vary from person to person.

FAQ

How is it different from a non-incisional lift?

ETONNE takes a step-by-step approach according to the degree of sagging, and thread lifting comes at an earlier step than a non-incisional lift. Thread lifting is a procedure performed under local anesthesia, while a non-incisional lift is surgery performed under sleep anesthesia. Which method suits you is decided after examining the degree of sagging.

What happens to the inserted threads? How long does the effect last?

ETONNE uses absorbable PDO threads, and the inserted threads are absorbed by the body over about 6 months. The lifting effect lasts about 1.5–2 years, varying from person to person depending on the type of thread, skin condition, and degree of sagging.

What are the anesthesia, procedure time, and recovery schedule?

The procedure takes about 30 minutes under local anesthesia, and you go home the same day without hospitalization. Because there is no incision, there are no stitches to remove and no follow-up treatment visits, and makeup is possible right after the procedure. Bruising and swelling usually subside within 1–2 weeks, but how long this takes varies from person to person, and for the period advised after the procedure, please avoid facial massage and exaggerated expressions.

Will there be scars or marks?

Because the threads are inserted through a thin tube (cannula) without an incision, no incision scars are created, and there are no sutures or stitches. The points where the tube enters are like injection sites and may become temporarily red or bruised. Dimpling, in which the skin where a thread was placed becomes indented, may occur; in most cases it disappears within 1 week, but if it persists, additional treatment may be needed. For a while after the procedure, the skin surface may look bumpy or feel tight, and how long this takes to settle varies from person to person.
