How Is the PDO Thread Lift Done?

A thread lift at Haru Clinic involves an in-depth facial analysis with Dr. Jeong in order to craft the perfect customized solution for your facial rejuvenation goals. Using PDO and PLLA (Silhouette Soft) threads, he will expertly lift the facial skin and maneuver it so as to achieve the desired results.

At Haru Clinic, our thread lift is not only for lifting, nor is a one-size-fits-all design applied to all patients. We consciously create treatment plans for each individual tailored to their exact face shape, lifting in places where it is needed, and gently compressing in others. This technique results in a naturally smooth, delicate, and attractive facial contour. By employing these meticulous techniques and precisely adjusting the thread position, we minimize pain, irritation, and discomfort.

Why is Anchor Point so Important?

pro thread lift in korea Haru Clinic gangnam seoul

The anchor point of a thread lift is a key factor in the final results and longevity of a facial thread lift, and can even have an effect on the levels of pain experienced during the process. Unlike many other clinics where standard practice is to anchor the threads on the temporal muscle, our thread lift here at Haru involves anchoring the threads behind the ear. Anchoring the threads behind the ear has multiple benefits.

1

The effectiveness and longevity of the lift depend on how securely the anchor point is held.

The area behind the ear has less flexibility than the much more commonly used temporal muscle. Utilizing this area as the anchor point for a facial thread lift ensures a stronger hold than conventional thread lifts, delivering higher retention and overall effectiveness.

2

The anchor point is used to pull up sagging areas.

When using the temporal muscle, located beside the eyebrow, as an anchor point, sagging cheeks are pulled upwards which can consequently enlarge cheekbones and widen the face. With this anchor point, a light pull has minimal effect, while a stronger pull can, unfortunately, lead to a wider facial contour.

When using the area behind the ear as the anchor point, by simultaneously applying a strong pull and pressure, the lift effect is maximized without widening the face. If there’s a hollow area in the lower part of the cheek, a specific lift aimed towards the temporal muscles is carried out only as necessary to seamlessly proved volume to the sunken area.

3

The location of the anchor point determines where the thread passes.

Many people hold reservations about thread lifts due to lingering discomfort and stinging sensations, especially when the procedure involves the temporal muscle. Since many nerves and blood vessels run through this region, threads placed here can lead to ongoing aches.

Anchoring a thread lift behind the ear enables us to avoid these important veins and nerves, ensuring that the anchor point does not intersect with large nerves or blood vessels in front of the ear. This approach is taken to minimize irritation, pain, and bleeding.

What Types of Thread Do we Use?

A thread lift at Haru Clinic utilizes two different types of thread materials – PDO and PLLA – both of which are approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) as safe substances that fully dissolve inside the body. To cater to individual needs, we use curved threads as opposed to the traditional straight ones.

PDO Threads

PDO is commonly used in dissolvable thread lifts, and has a well-established safety record—it’s even trusted for sutures in heart surgeries.

A thread lift at Haru is executed according to individual needs and treatment goals by using curved PDO threads, not straight PDO threads such as Omega, Blue Rose, etc.

PLLA Threads

PLLA, a key component of Sculptra, is well-regarded for its safety and its excellent ability to regenerate collagen. It’s widely used in various medical treatments.

A thread lift at Haru Lift is tailored to your needs using Silhouette Soft; curved PLLA threads that offer a wide range of customization options.
