With thread lifting, 'who makes it and who performs it' is more important than 'what 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 what process they went through to develop.

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

While researching new concepts of thread lifting together with CEO Yu Si-dae, I participated in the development process of domestic barbed threads.

This is how domestic barbed threads began.

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

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

After conducting actual clinical procedures, we discovered an important limitation.

Unidirectional barbed threads had limitations in pulling force and fixation power because they supported tissue in only one direction upon 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 widely used today, has developed through such clinical experience and repetitive research.

This development process can be objectively confirmed through related 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

at which layer the thread is most effective,

in what 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,

and then validating through clinical practice.

Because I participated directly from this development process, 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 over 17 years and have experienced various face shapes and aging patterns.

Also, based on

  • Anatomical knowledge as an anesthesiology and pain medicine specialist

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

  • Continuous research in non-surgical anti-aging field

I am providing consultation aimed not simply at pulling skin, but at balance of the entire face and natural changes.

This is how seoul chungdam dr ahnapa clinic's thread lifting is performed.

1. Facial aging analysis

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

2. Customized design

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

3. Anatomical lifting

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

4. Post-procedure care

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

We recommend for:

  • Those looking into thread lifting in Dasan New City

  • Those seeking a place skilled in thread lifting in Namyangju

  • Those who consider medical staff experience important as it's your first thread lifting

  • Those whose previous thread lifting results were unsatisfactory

  • Those wanting natural and long-lasting lifting

If you're considering thread lifting in Dasan New City

Even with the same thread, thread lifting results can differ.

That difference ultimately comes from experience in understanding faces, experience in understanding threads, and experience accumulated from the development process of threads.

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

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