When you start to be concerned about facial sagging, many people often think of thread lifts first, worrying about facial thread lift side effects.

However, if you search for thread lift reviews, you will frequently encounter stories about bruising, swelling, and threads being palpable or visible.

If you are concerned about facial thread lift side effects, it may be more helpful to explore treatments with different principles rather than avoiding them altogether.

This article will summarize the working principle of thread lifts, their known side effects, and the differences from InMode FX, which has an entirely different purpose.

How do thread lifts lift the face?

A thread lift is a procedure that physically lifts sagging skin and tissue by inserting dissolvable threads (PDO) below the dermis layer.

As the inserted threads settle, they stimulate collagen production as a foreign body reaction, meaning elasticity increases over time.

It can be understood that the lifting and regenerative effects work together for the period until the threads are completely absorbed.

Commonly mentioned facial thread lift side effects include bruising, swelling, asymmetry between the left and right sides, and threads being palpable or visible on the skin surface.

Temporary numbness or a pulling sensation may also occur depending on the insertion site.

If swelling or bruising feels severe, cold compresses and rest can help with recovery.

Recovery typically takes a few days to two weeks, varying depending on the treatment area and individual skin condition.

Treatments that lift sagging and treatments that reduce fat have entirely different purposes.

It's important to point out that thread lifts and InMode FX target different concerns from the outset.

Thread lifting is a traction method that lifts stretched tissues, while InMode FX is a method that reduces the fat layer itself that causes a double chin or sagging cheeks.

InMode FX works by raising the temperature of the fat layer to between 40 and 43 degrees Celsius with radiofrequency (RF) energy, then applying high-voltage pulses (HVP) to cause irreversible damage to fat cell membranes.

Another characteristic feature is its structure, which uses vacuum suction to adhere the fat layer closely to the handpiece, increasing energy delivery efficiency.

The biggest difference is that since there is no process of inserting threads, thread-related symptoms that occur in thread lifts do not arise.

InMode FX is performed without the use of anesthetic cream.

This is because the device's structure requires immediate confirmation of the skin's thermal response to reduce the risk of burns.

Bruising may occur during the negative pressure suction process, but it usually subsides within 3 days to 2 weeks.

To experience the effects, an energy injection time of at least 6 minutes per area must be maintained, and a cumulative progression of about 5 sessions at 1-2 week intervals is recommended.

For areas where the fat layer is the cause, such as a double chin, submental fat, or sagging jowls, reducing the fat itself is often the more appropriate approach than pulling with threads.

Sagging due to facial thread lift concerns and sagging due to fat have different causes, and traction effects may also be necessary, so precise consultation to distinguish the troubled area is prioritized.

InMode FX operation possible at KKEUT Oriental Medical Clinic

At KKEUT Oriental Medical Clinic, only the time during which energy is injected is used as the payment standard for InMode FX.

The time the device is turned on or the time the handpiece is only moved is not included in the payment; we only check the pure irradiation time recorded on the monitor and show it to you directly after the procedure.

KKEUT Oriental Medical Clinic always performs with a seated design.

By precisely marking the position of sagging fat while seated, we avoid areas where hollows might form in the cheeks and accurately target only the necessary fat.

KKEUT Oriental Medical Clinic adjusts the pulse duration flexibly during the irradiation time.

Initially, the focus is on rapidly raising the temperature, and after reaching the target temperature, the pulse time is shortened to increase the ratio of high-voltage pulse irradiation.

Thanks to this operating method, more dense fat destruction results can be expected within the same treatment time.

After the procedure, KKEUT Oriental Medical Clinic records and shares the amount of energy injected on the day, treatment time, and concentrated target areas on a lifting card.

This is why subsequent treatments can proceed without error.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. If I'm worried about facial thread lift side effects, can I switch to InMode FX?

A. Even if you're concerned about facial thread lift side effects, a consultation to first confirm whether the troubled area is a fat layer is prioritized.

Q. If I receive InMode FX, do I need a long recovery period, similar to facial thread lift side effects?

A. InMode FX does not involve inserting threads, so there are no thread-related symptoms mentioned in facial thread lift side effects, and recovery is relatively shorter.

Q. Is there a way to expect improvement in sagging without facial thread lift side effects?

A. The approach varies depending on the cause of sagging, so if you are concerned about side effects from facial thread lifting, we recommend a consultation to diagnose the cause first.

Q. How many sessions of InMode FX are needed to feel the effects?

A. A cumulative total of about 5 sessions at 1-2 week intervals is recommended, and many people who were concerned about side effects from facial thread lifting often address their fat layer concerns using this method.
