"A collapsed contour beneath the face,
How can you improve lost elasticity?"

  • Gangnam Station Double Chin Thread Lifting

Hello,
This is Dr. Park Kibum, Head Director of GU Clinic.

As time passes, under the influence of gravity,
when changes such as decreased elasticity and tissue movement occur,
it becomes difficult to resolve the issue with fat removal alone.

It is important to clearly understand the internal structure of the skin
and choose the most appropriate method.


"A double chin that

changes your impression"

The chin forms the lower facial line,
and even slight disruption can create a heavy impression.

In many cases, even without significant weight changes,
a double chin alone can alter one’s overall appearance,
which is why many people seek improvement.

However, since injections alone are often not sufficient,
we recommend thread lifting that comprehensively adjusts
the deeper skin layers and sagging tissues.


"Gangnam Aptos Thread Lifting"

Double chin thread lifting is a corrective method
that improves sagging caused by aging
while enhancing facial contours.

While first-generation PDO threads fixed tissues
by pulling them with physical tension,

Aptos is a 4th-generation solution
that focuses on both lifting and skin regeneration.

Through its structured design, the thread holds the tissue in place
and guides the area under the chin into a more refined direction.


"Difference between regular PDO vs Aptos"

The commonly used PDO material
is biodegradable in the body,
but has the disadvantage of a relatively short duration.

On the other hand, Aptos differs from conventional threads
by combining three components: PLLA + PCL + HA.

This allows for three expected effects:
lifting + collagen stimulation + hydration.

The barbed structure of the thread provides physical support,
and as it is absorbed, NAMICA interacts with surrounding tissues
to help promote collagen formation.


"Double chin thread lifting
varies depending on expertise"

Double chin thread lifting

requires more than just inserting threads—
it must involve precise anatomical design
to achieve optimal results.

The area under the chin has a thicker fat layer
and tends to lose elasticity quickly,
making the type of thread, placement, and direction crucial.

When the procedure is tailored to each individual’s
facial structure, muscle movement, and fat distribution,
truly satisfying results can be achieved.


"Aptos thread lifting
that creates support and balance"

A double chin is not just a jawline issue,
but affects the overall

facial impression and balance.

Therefore, after carefully diagnosing

the cause and skin condition,
a personalized approach is necessary.

We hope this article has been helpful
for those considering

double chin thread lifting in Gangnam.

This has been Dr. Park Kibum,
Head Director of GU Clinic. Thank you.
