Treatment Overview
Chin Contouring with Thread Lift in Korea is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure designed to sculpt and define the chin area while improving skin firmness. Using dissolvable PDO (Polydioxanone) or PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid) threads, dermatologists lift and reposition soft tissue, stimulate collagen production, and enhance lower-face contours for a sharper, more balanced profile.
Korean clinics often combine chin thread lifts with Juvelook skin boosters or Secret RF treatments to enhance lifting, hydration, and overall facial harmony. By customizing thread type, insertion depth, and vector placement, clinics in Korea achieve precise, natural-looking chin contouring.
