I-Thread

A strong-hold thread that firmly lifts sagging.

About Procedure

About I-Thread

I-Thread is a dissolvable thread with a cog structure that grips sagging tissue, used to firmly lift areas where sagging is more advanced.

As the thread dissolves, it stimulates collagen production, offering lifting and improved firmness together.

SIA Clinic Gangnam offers I-Thread for the deep cheeks, jawline and nasolabial area (1, 4, 6 or 10 threads), forehead/brow and double chin, plus full-face I-Thread packages.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  How is it different from MINT thread?
Both are dissolvable cog threads, but they differ in structure and holding strength. We'll recommend the right thread based on your degree of sagging and the area.
Q.  How many threads do I need?
It depends on the degree of sagging; we'll advise the appropriate number of threads for each area during your consultation.
Q.  How long does swelling last?
Swelling and tightness may last about 3–7 days.
Q.  How long do the results last?
Results vary, but thanks to the collagen produced while the threads dissolve, effects generally last several months or longer.
