Although a full facelift (as known as Mega Facelift) is the most optimal method. However, non-surgical thread lift using “The up” or “24k gold thread”, minimally invasive, is a new trend in mid-face lift, especially the nasolabial folds.
24K gold thread.
- The gold thread with the knot will help hold the facial muscle and support the cell to increase collagen which may help the facial skin to be tight and youthful.

Advantages.
- 24k gold thread does not cause allergic reactions to the body.
- The 24K gold thread technique does not require incisions in the temples for fixation.
Disadvantages.
- Because 24k gold thread minimizes allergies to the body, therefore the small knots of 24k gold thread cause little allergic to the tissue as well.
- For this reason, the effect of collagen production is low as well, because the gold thread insertion technique is not fixed to the temporal muscle fascia, making the lifting and fixing of the facial muscles not firm. Therefore, a 24k gold thread facelift only helps to maintain the effective time from 6 months to 12 months.
- Previously, the world trend was to use gold thread, but gradually over time the use of gold thread has become less popular.
Facelift with Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The Up thread, Ultra thread or Nano Collagen 3D thread.
- Due to the disadvantages of 24K gold threads such as minimal collagen stimulation, lack of elasticity to move with facial muscles, and hooks that are not large enough for effective, so researchers have developed a new type of thread to address these the above disadvantages, which is Polydioxanone (PDO) Samyang absorbable threads, The Up threads, Ultra threads, and others.
Advantages of facelift with Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The up thread, Ultra thread or Nano Collagen 3D thread
- Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable sutures, The Up sutures, Ultra sutures,... are made of biological material with large mesh and hooks to firmly adhere to the facial muscles. The mesh helps support the tissues to form a flat surface thanks to the hooked barbs. The peripheral mesh and the fixed bow in the temple area help fix and support the skin and facial muscles.
- Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable sutures, The Up sutures, Ultra sutures will dissolve on their own within two years to maximize collagen production thanks to biological material.
- Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable sutures, The Up sutures, Ultra sutures has elastic properties and stretches according to facial muscles, the thread will stretch according to the movement of facial muscles and give you a more natural shape.
- Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable sutures, The Up sutures, Ultra sutures will be firmly fixed to the temporal muscle to keep the facial lifted more effectively than the previous gold thread which only had a short-term effect.
Disadvantages of facelift with Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The up thread, Ultra thread or Nano Collagen 3D thread.
- Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable sutures, The Up sutures, Ultra sutures, due to their large hooks and meshes that support facial muscle strongly, require fixation to the temporal fascia, so the technique requires a small needle hole in the temporal area but leaves absolutely no scars because they are hidden in the hair.
- Only 1% allergy rate.
The procedure.
The procedure takes no more than 30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia, allowing the patient to go home the same day. Sutures placed in the temporal area (if using “The Up” thread) will be removed after 7 days.
Is a facelift with 24K gold threads, Polydioxanone (PDO) Samyang threads, The Up threads, Ultra threads, or Nano Collagen 3D threads safe?.
As a minimally invasive procedure, thread facelifts are generally safe and provide immediate results without scarring. You can go home to rest right after the procedure.
* The result also depends on the natural disposition of each person.
