Custom Thread Lifting

Lift on the outside, renew from within Dual-layer balance with threads and energy.

True skin lifting goes beyond pulling. It requires strengthening the skin’s internal foundation while redefining its contour. Gangnam Hera’s Thread Lifting Combination Program pairs precise mechanical lifting with advanced energy stimulation to create natural, long-lasting firmness. Ulthera (HIFU) targets the deep SMAS layer for structural tightening, while Titanium RF refines texture and surface elasticity through gentle heat. Together, they form a dual-action system that lifts, firms, and rejuvenates the skin at every depth.

Depending on Skin Condition

Thread + Ulthera & Thread + Titanium

The three elements Thread, Ulthera, and Titanium
work across different skin depths to deliver a 360° lifting experience.
Ulthera strengthens from deep within, Titanium refines the surface, and Thread Lift holds everything in place.
The result is natural, balanced rejuvenation with lasting definition and radiance.

Thread + Ulthera

Thread Lifting and Ulthera share one ultimate goal to restore the skin’s internal structure and support system.

Thread Lift provides an immediate lifting effect by mechanically pulling sagging skin upward. The threads, made from absorbable materials such as PDO, PCL, or PLLA,are inserted under the skin where they act as a scaffold for new collagen formation. Over 6 to 12 months, they gradually dissolve while stimulating fibroblasts,promoting neocollagenesis and neoelastin production.This dual process — mechanical lift followed by biological regeneration creates both instant tightening and progressive improvement in skin density and elasticity.

Ulthera (HIFU), on the other hand, delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound deep into the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) the very layer targeted in surgical facelifts. When ultrasound energy reaches precise focal depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.5mm), it generates controlled microthermal zones at temperatures of 60–70°C,causing collagen contraction and remodeling. This process triggers a natural healing response, resulting in firmer, lifted skin over several weeks.

When combined, the threads anchor the lifted contour, while Ulthera reinforces the deeper foundation. This synergy between structural and cellular mechanisms creates a multidimensional lift that looks natural, feels stable, and lasts longer. Because both treatments are non-surgical and precise, downtime is minimal, swelling is mild, and improvements continue to develop for months.

Thread + Titanium RF

Titanium RF is a next-generation multipolar radiofrequency system that distributes consistent heat energy across the dermis. Unlike older monopolar RF devices,Titanium controls both frequency and depth of penetration (1–6MHz range), ensuring gentle yet effective stimulation even for sensitive skin. As water molecules vibrate under RF energy, they generate heat through friction, which contracts existing collagen fibers and stimulates new collagen and elastin synthesis. The result is smoother texture, refined pores, and enhanced skin density.

The even heating also improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow, helping detoxify tissues and brighten skin tone. Unlike HIFU, which targets deeper fascia, Titanium acts within the dermis the “elastic core” of the skin making it ideal for improving surface firmness and fine elasticity. When combined with Thread Lift, the threads lift and secure the facial contour, while Titanium RF enhances the skin’s texture, suppleness, and glow from within. The outcome is both tactile and visible a defined facial outline with soft, luminous skin quality. This combination suits those seeking a gentle, comfortable lifting experience with minimal discomfort, fast recovery, and comprehensive rejuvenation across both structure and surface.

Thread + Titanium RF

Comparison of the Two Combinations

True lifting is never achieved with a single device.
Sagging and loss of elasticity occur at different layers of the skin, and restoring them requires multiple energies that work in balance.
At Gangnam Hera, the synergy of Ulthera, Thermage FLX, and Titanium stimulates every layer from SMAS to dermis to epidermis to tighten the facial contour and boost collagen regeneration.
This multi-layered approach refines elasticity, sharpens definition, and restores radiance all with a natural, youthful balance.
