Thread lifting is more about 'who develops and performs the procedure' than 'which thread is used'.

Today, thread lifting is performed at many medical institutions.

However, not many people know how the barbed threads currently used were first created and how they developed through various processes.

I am a doctor who directly participated in the development of domestic barbed thread lifting in 2009.

At that time, I participated in the development of domestic barbed threads by researching a new concept of thread lifting together with CEO Yu Si-dae.

This is how domestic barbed threads began.

In 2009, barbed threads in the form we see today did not exist in Korea.

I proposed the concept to CEO Yu Si-dae that 'by utilizing barbs (Barb), threads can support tissue more effectively,' and based on this, the development of Korea's first unidirectional barbed thread began.

Later, while conducting actual clinical procedures, I discovered an important limitation.

Unidirectional barbed threads had limitations in pulling force and fixation power because they only supported tissue in one direction during insertion.

To solve this problem, I proposed the concept of 'bidirectional barbs' that grasp tissue from both directions,

and based on this, bidirectional barbed threads were developed.

The core concept of bidirectional cog thread lifting, which is now widely used, has developed through such clinical experience and repeated research.

This development process can be objectively verified through relevant materials and records.

Developers approach procedures differently.

Developing a new medical device is not simply about manufacturing a product.

It is a process of researching countless times and clinically validating:

at which layer the thread is most effective,

in which direction it should be inserted,

how the angle and arrangement of barbs support tissue,

and what design is most natural according to facial anatomy and aging direction.

Because I participated in this development process from the beginning, I design thread lifting from a different perspective than medical professionals who simply use the product.

Over 17 Years of Thread Lifting Clinical Experience

Since the development of domestic barbed threads, I have been performing thread lifting for more than 17 years and have experienced various face shapes and aging patterns.

Additionally, based on:

  • anatomical knowledge as a specialist in anesthesiology and pain medicine

  • experience with over 20,000 facial procedures including facial fat grafting

  • continuous research in non-surgical anti-aging fields

I provide treatment aimed not simply at pulling the skin but at achieving balance of the entire face and natural changes.

Thread Lifting at seoul chungdam dr ahnapa clinic Proceeds Like This.

1. Facial Aging Analysis

Comprehensively evaluate skin thickness, fat volume, sagging direction, and the condition of the SMAS layer.

2. Customized Design

Consider the characteristics of various threads such as PDO, PLLA, PCL and facial structure to plan the appropriate type and insertion direction.

3. Anatomical Lifting

Perform natural lifting by considering facial movement and tension, rather than simply inserting more thread.

4. Post-Procedure Care

Confirm progress after the procedure and provide guidance on necessary skin care and maintenance methods.

We Recommend This For:

  • Those looking into thread lifting in Dasan New City

  • Those searching for a place that does thread lifting well in Namyangju

  • Those having their first thread lifting and prioritizing medical staff experience

  • Those who were not satisfied with previous thread lifting results

  • Those wanting natural and long-lasting lifting

If You Are Considering Thread Lifting in Dasan New City

Thread lifting can produce different results even when using the same thread.

The difference ultimately comes from experience understanding facial structure, experience understanding thread, and experience accumulated from the process of developing thread.

seoul chungdam dr ahnapa clinic plans customized thread lifting tailored to each individual's face based on experience gained from the domestic barbed thread development process and clinical know-how of over 17 years.

Whether this is your first thread lifting or you've had consultations elsewhere, we will find the most suitable method for your current condition through sufficient diagnosis.
