Treatment Overview
V-Line Face Contouring using Thread Lift in Korea is a minimally invasive procedure designed to sculpt and define the lower face, creating a slim, lifted, and youthful V-shaped jawline. Using dissolvable PDO (Polydioxanone), PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid), or PCL (Polycaprolactone) threads, Korean dermatologists lift sagging skin along the jawline, cheeks, and chin while stimulating collagen and elastin production for long-term firmness and contouring.
This procedure is often combined with Juvelook skin boosters, dermal fillers, or Secret RF treatments to enhance hydration, improve skin elasticity, and maintain a smooth, natural facial profile. Advanced vector mapping ensures precise thread placement to achieve a sharp, elegant V-line without invasive surgery.

Post-treatment care includes cooling, soothing, and detailed instructions for home care.
