Treatment Overview
Neck Lift using Thread Lift in Korea is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure designed to tighten sagging skin, smooth horizontal neck lines, and improve overall neck contour. Using dissolvable PDO (Polydioxanone), PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid), or PCL (Polycaprolactone) threads, Korean dermatologists lift and support soft tissue while stimulating collagen production for long-lasting firmness and rejuvenation.
Korean clinics often combine neck thread lifts with Secret RF, Ultherapy (HIFU), Thermage, or skin boosters to maximize skin tightening and restore youthful definition. Thread vectors are carefully mapped to target horizontal lines, vertical bands, and jowl-to-neck transitions for a natural result.
