Brow Thread Lift in Seoul

Brow Thread Lift explained

A brow thread lift uses a small number of cog threads to lift the outer or whole eyebrow. It is a non-surgical option for mild brow droop. The lift is usually a few millimetres, not a dramatic change.

How Brow Thread Lift works

Under local anaesthetic, the doctor inserts threads through small points, often near the hairline or within the brow. The barbs grip the soft tissue around the brow, which is lifted and fixed in a higher position. The forehead moves a lot, so results may last less time than on the cheeks.
