Ultra V Lift in Seoul

Ultra V Lift explained

Ultra V is a Korean brand of PDO threads that includes both barbed lifting threads and smooth mono threads. Ultra V Lift usually refers to a lift of the cheeks and jaw using its cog threads. It is commonly marketed for a V-line face shape.

How Ultra V Lift works

After local anaesthetic, the doctor inserts barbed PDO threads into the fat layer along planned lines, often from near the ear toward the jaw and cheek. The barbs hold the tissue so it can be lifted and fixed. Mono threads may be added for skin firmness. As the PDO dissolves over months, collagen forms along the thread paths.
