Best Thread Lift in Cheongdam | Custom-Designed Li

Q. Why Does Design Matter in Cheongdam Thread Lifts?

A thread lift is not simply a procedure that pulls the face tight.

Aging progresses differently for everyone. For some, the jawline blurs first; for others, the nasolabial folds deepen; and for others, cheek sagging appears first. For this reason, even when the same thread is used, it is not advisable to treat every patient in the same way.

The key to a thread lift is analyzing the patient's facial structure and designing an approach that fits the cause of the sagging.

ELEV Clinic comprehensively analyzes fat distribution, skin thickness, ligament support, and the direction of aging in the face to propose the lifting design best suited to each patient.

Q. Why We Use Both APTOS and MINT Lift

There are many types of thread lift products, each with its own characteristics. APTOS and MINT Lift are representative products that are widely used around the world and were developed to support tissue and achieve a natural lift. MINT Lift threads are made of PDO and not only reposition tissue according to the purpose of treatment but also have a regenerative effect on the face. APTOS threads are made of PCL, PLA, and HA, offering not only a natural lift but also a lasting skin-improving effect as a skin booster.

ELEV Clinic does not rely on a single product; we choose the right one according to the patient's facial structure, skin condition, and desired change. In some cases, we plan a more stable result by combining several types of threads rather than using just one. What matters is not which brand of thread is used, but whom it is applied to and in what way.

Q. Chief Director Jeongwoo Lee's Experience in Thread Lifting

Based on extensive training and clinical experience in the field of thread lifting, Chief Director Jeongwoo Lee of ELEV Clinic performs custom-designed lifting.



* Completed the APTOS International Certified Training Course

In thread lifting, the process of understanding the patient's face matters more than the technique of using a product.

ELEV Clinic aims to achieve natural results by analyzing each patient's different facial structure and aging pattern.

Q. ELEV's Design Thread Lift

ELEV Clinic does not regard a thread lift as a procedure that simply pulls the face upward.

We design each treatment to reposition sagging tissue to the appropriate position, balance the volume, and allow skin elasticity to improve as time passes. That is why, during consultation, we first talk about what you want to improve and what impression you want, rather than simply asking, "How many threads shall we insert?" Everyone's ideal face is different.

Q. Who Is This Recommended For?

* If you feel your jawline has become less defined than before
* If your nasolabial folds and marionette lines have deepened
* If you want a natural-looking lift
* If surgery feels like too much but you want improved elasticity
* If Ulthera or Thermage lifting alone doesn't feel like enough
* If you want to improve facial volume and elasticity together

In thread lifting, a "customized plan" matters more than the procedure alone.

A thread lift on its own can deliver good results, but depending on your skin condition, planning it together with other procedures can lead to a more natural change.

For example,

* For significant skin sagging: thread lift + Ulthera
* When skin elasticity has also declined: thread lift + Thermage lifting
* When skin condition and collagen need improvement: thread lift + collagen booster

Other combinations suited to the patient's condition are also considered.

Rather than recommending a single procedure, ELEV Clinic works with each patient to find the treatment plan that suits them best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Which is better, APTOS or MINT Lift threads?

Both products have their own advantages, and it is difficult to say that either one is better for every patient. The suitable product may vary depending on facial structure, skin condition, and desired change.

Q. How long does a thread lift last?

It varies depending on the individual's skin condition and the product used, but it can generally last from several months to more than a year, and improved elasticity from collagen production can be expected over time.

Q. Can I have it together with Ulthera?

Yes, you can. Depending on the cause of skin sagging and the degree of reduced elasticity, it is often planned together with other procedures such as Ulthera or Titanium Lifting.

Q. Is a stronger pull always better in a thread lift?

No. Excessive pulling can create an unnatural look. What matters is a natural design that takes facial balance and movement into account.
