Thread Lifting FAQ

The duration of thread lifting results may vary depending on factors such as the individual’s skin condition, the type of thread used, and the treatment method. In general, PDO threads last approximately 6 months to 1 year, PLLA threads approximately 1 year to 1 year and 6 months, and PCL threads approximately 1 year and 6 months to 2 years.

There are various types of threads used for thread lifting. Materials such as PDO, PLLA, and PCL differ in characteristics including barb design and thread thickness. For more effective treatment results, it is recommended to select the appropriate thread through a personalized consultation based on the area to be improved and the treatment goal.

Some discomfort may occur when the thread cannula is inserted, and sensitivity to pain may vary from person to person. If you are concerned about discomfort, AB offers various anesthesia options to help provide a more comfortable treatment experience.

After thread lifting, temporary tightness, swelling, and bruising may occur. Until the treated area has stabilized, you may experience discomfort when opening your mouth widely or chewing food. In rare cases, the treated area may feel tight or experience a pulling sensation for a prolonged period. Depending on the individual, the thread may become visible or protrude through the skin, and temporary asymmetry or a foreign body sensation may also occur. If you experience any unusual symptoms around the eyes, we recommend contacting the hospital where you received the procedure promptly for evaluation.

You can generally return to your daily routine immediately after thread lifting. Temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort may occur after the procedure, and the recovery period may vary depending on the type of thread used, but most symptoms improve within approximately 1 to 2 weeks.
