Procedure room for neck thread lifting at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **1 session** Firmer neck over 1–3 months

Quick answer

What is a neck thread lift?

A neck thread lift places absorbable PDO or PCL threads under the skin of the neck and under the chin. Barbed threads lift loose skin up and back toward the area behind the ears to define the jaw-neck angle, while fine mono threads in a mesh pattern stimulate collagen to firm crepey skin and soften horizontal neck lines.

It suits mild to moderate neck laxity in people who do not want surgery. In Seoul it is often combined with double chin treatment or HIFU for the lower face.

How Neck thread lift works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

Consult & mapping
The doctor checks skin laxity, neck bands, fat under the chin and skin thickness to plan threads.
Anaesthesia
Numbing cream, then local anaesthetic at the entry points.
Thread placement
Lifting threads are anchored toward the mastoid area and mono threads placed across the neck.
Aftercare
Avoid bending the neck sharply, tight collars, massage, saunas and heavy exercise for 1–2 weeks.

Before & after

How a neck thread lift defines the jaw-neck line

Barbed threads lift loose skin immediately, and collagen built around the threads improves firmness and texture as they dissolve.

FAQ

Neck thread lift questions

Does a neck thread lift hurt?

Local anaesthetic is used, so you mainly feel pressure. Tenderness and stiffness for a few days are normal.

Can it remove neck lines?

Mono threads and the collagen they stimulate can soften horizontal lines, but deep creases may also need skin boosters or filler.

Neck thread lift or HIFU?

HIFU tightens without needles and is good for early laxity. Threads give a more immediate, visible lift for moderate looseness. Many patients combine them.

How long does a neck thread lift last?

Typically 6–12 months, depending on the threads used and skin quality.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
