Absorbable lifting threads that physically reposition sagging tissue and stimulate collagen — for an immediate yet natural lift.

Thread Lifting is a minimally invasive treatment that uses absorbable threads, such as PDO or PLLA, inserted beneath the skin to lift and reposition sagging tissue.
The threads provide an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen along their path for gradual firming as they dissolve. Performed in Gangnam, Seoul, each plan is tailored to your facial structure and degree of sagging, with multilingual care for international patients.
Thread Lifting works in two ways — threads mechanically lift and anchor sagging tissue now, while stimulating collagen along their path for lasting firmness.


At DayBeau Gangnam, Thread Lifting is always performed by a doctor. Our doctors assess your facial structure, skin thickness, and sagging vectors before mapping the thread type, count, and placement for a natural result.

Thread Lifting is a minimally invasive treatment that uses absorbable threads inserted beneath the skin to lift and reposition sagging tissue while stimulating collagen for gradual firming.
The threads are typically made of absorbable materials such as PDO or PLLA, which dissolve safely over time while stimulating collagen. Your doctor selects the thread type for your case.
Some downtime is expected. Mild swelling, bruising, or a tight sensation may last a few days, and you may be advised to avoid wide mouth movements briefly.
Local anesthesia is used for comfort. You may feel pressure or tugging during the procedure, with some tenderness afterward that settles within days.
Most sessions take approximately 30–60 minutes depending on the number of threads and areas.
A lifting effect is visible immediately, becoming more natural as swelling settles. Collagen-related firming continues over 1–3 months. Individual results vary.
Results commonly last from several months up to a year or more depending on thread type, skin condition, and aging.
