Complete analysis of the characteristics and differences in injection sites and procedures (including types of PDO thread lifts and co-g threads)

Silhouette lifting is now known as a leading non-surgical anti-aging procedure that many people seek.

In particular, it is effective in addressing sagging and loss of elasticity, which are major causes of looking older, so the male customer base is gradually increasing.

 

Did you know that not all thread lifting procedures are the same?🤔

The face has completely different skin thickness, fat density, and muscle orientation in each area, so the types of needles and treatment methods vary accordingly.

 

In this article, I carefully summarized the characteristics of each area, the types of threads used, and the methods of the procedure. ☺️

 

 

 

[1] Forehead / Glabella – Thin and sensitive area, delicately lifting

 

The forehead and glabella are areas with thin skin and active facial muscles, making them prone to deep fine lines. Additionally, drooping eyebrows can cause the eyes to appear heavier and give a dull impression.

 

This area can be slightly lifted with thread lifting, which opens up the vision and results in a much softer and more gentle appearance.

 

The types of threads mainly used are PDO monofilament threads with minimal irritation and PLLA short cog threads.

Thin threads are inserted in a crisscross or U-shape, and sometimes Botox or fillers are used in conjunction.

It is possible to improve forehead wrinkles along with natural lifting.

 

 

 

[2] Around the eyes – Key points for reducing fine lines and micro lifting

 

The area around the eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive skin on the face.
Therefore, the thickness of the thread, the insertion depth, and even the direction need to be carefully and precisely controlled.

 

Mainly 25G to 30G ultra-fine or twisted threads are used, and they are inserted diagonally from the outer corner of the eye toward the temple.
Silhouette lifting can smooth out fine wrinkles while also slightly lifting the outer corners of the eyes to create a more defined eye shape.

 

In particular, for middle-aged and older adults, using PCL micro-needles that stimulate collagen regeneration can improve both durability and elasticity.

 

 

 

[3] Cheeks/Nasolabial folds – Fix sagging cheeks and deepening nasolabial folds all at once

 

Deepening nasolabial folds and sagging cheek fat make the center of the face appear heavier, making you look even older.
So, this area also has the highest demand for thread lifting.

 

Since it is wide and has abundant subcutaneous tissue, threads such as Cog threads or Mesh threads, which have strong pulling strength, are suitable.
Insert the thread deeply from below the cheekbone toward the corner of the mouth to lift the soft tissue, and in the nasolabial area, insert the thread in a 'V' shape to naturally fill in the hollowed areas.

 

Using PLLA cog threads extends the lifting maintenance period, and cavitation threads can also improve lost volume.

This area is one of the regions where the combination of suture types is particularly important.

 

 

 

[4] Jawline/V-line – Enhances contours and improves double chin

 

Sagging jawlines and flattened V-lines blur the overall impression of the face.
Silhouette lifting is particularly effective in refining this area to create a sleek appearance.

 

After starting behind the ear or under the jawline, insert the thread along the facial outline.
Lifting is performed by pulling from the outside inward and from bottom to top.

 

In this area, PCL cog sutures or PLLA long cog sutures, which have excellent tension and fixation strength, are mainly used.
Cavankog thread, which simultaneously lifts the fat layer, is effective for improving double chin.
Silhouette Soft Concildo, which enhances a gentle natural look, is frequently used in advanced lifting procedures.

Conclusion – Proper understanding of thread lifting leads to higher satisfaction

 

Silhouette lifting is not just a procedure of inserting threads, but,
Understanding the anatomical characteristics of each facial area and applying the appropriate type of thread and procedure method are essential to achieve a natural and long-lasting lifting effect.

 

If you understand the characteristics of each area and choose the procedure that suits you,
Worrying about aging is also reduced, and a naturally youthful appearance is definitely achievable, right?

 

Before the procedure, be sure to have a thorough consultation with a specialist to carefully consider 'where, what type of thread, and how' to use.☺️
