What Is a Thread Lift? How Does It Work?
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin using absorbable medical threads inserted beneath the skin. The threads have tiny barbs or cogs that grip the tissue, providing an immediate lifting effect. Over time, the threads stimulate collagen production around the insertion points, creating natural, long-lasting firmness.
Unlike surgical facelifts, thread lifts require no incisions, no general anesthesia, and minimal downtime — making them ideal for patients seeking a refreshed, youthful appearance without surgery.

Treatment Process
Consultation & Facial Analysis
Dr. Park examines your facial structure, skin laxity, and discusses your lifting goals. He designs a personalized thread placement plan. Multilingual staff available.
Marking & Local Anesthesia
Precise entry and exit points are marked on the face. Local anesthetic is injected for a pain-free procedure.
Thread Insertion
Dr. Park inserts the threads through tiny puncture points using specialized cannulas. The barbed threads grip the tissue and lift sagging areas. Takes 30-60 minutes depending on the number of threads.
Adjustment & Sculpting
Threads are carefully adjusted for symmetrical, natural-looking results. Dr. Park sculpts the jawline, cheeks, and nasolabial folds to your desired contour.
Immediate Results & Recovery
Lifting effect is visible immediately. Mild swelling subsides within 3-5 days. Full collagen remodeling results develop over 1-3 months, with effects lasting 12-18 months.
