Treatment Overview
Thread Collagen Booster Combo is a popular Korean anti-aging treatment that combines dermal thread lifting (PDO, PLLA, or PCL threads) with collagen-stimulating injectables or boosters such as PN (polynucleotides), exosomes, Juvelook, or PRP. This dual approach provides both instant lifting (threads) and long-term collagen remodeling (boosters), making it one of the most comprehensive solutions for sagging skin.
Unlike stand-alone treatments, the combo addresses sagging at multiple levels—mechanical lift, biological regeneration, and dermal strengthening—resulting in a firmer, tighter, and more youthful facial contour.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Sagging Skin family (HIFU, Exosome Therapy, FaceTite RF, MiniFX + Morpheus8, InMode Forma RF):
- Thread Collagen Booster Combo: Best for instant lifting + long-term collagen repair.
- Thread Lifting: Best for fast lifting only.
- Exosome Therapy: Best for cellular regeneration.
- HIFU (Ulthera/Shurink): Best for deep tightening.
- Morpheus8 RF Microneedling: Best for deep collagen remodeling.
Purpose & Benefits
- Instant Lifting: Threads reposition sagging skin for immediate contour.
- Collagen Remodeling: Boosters stimulate fibroblasts for long-term firmness.
- Sagging Reduction: Improves cheeks, jawline, and nasolabial folds.
- Wrinkle Softening: Smooths fine lines and deep creases.
- Skin Density & Elasticity: PN, exosomes, or stimulators strengthen dermis.
- Comprehensive Anti-Aging: Combines mechanical + biological improvements.
- Synergy Effect: Stronger and longer-lasting than single treatments.
