What Is PDO Thread Lift Korea at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
PDO thread lift Korea at RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses Korean-made absorbable polydioxanone threads priced per line. The 60-90 minute procedure delivers 6-12 month lifting with 3-7 day downtime.
PDO (polydioxanone) thread lifting is a minimally invasive face-lifting procedure where Korean-made absorbable surgical threads are inserted beneath the skin to physically reposition sagging tissue and trigger neocollagenesis. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Dr. Baek Seung-Jae performs PDO thread lift Korea patients choose for jawline definition, nasolabial fold reduction, and mid-face volume redistribution. Korea is the global epicenter of thread-lift innovation — domestic manufacturers produce 75%+ of the world’s PDO threads, and Korean clinics perform more PDO thread lift Korea procedures annually than any other country. Threads dissolve completely in 6-8 months, leaving behind a collagen scaffold that sustains the lifting effect for 12 months. Pair PDO thread lift Korea with Ultherapy Prime for multi-depth results.

How PDO Thread Lift Korea Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A 4-step protocol for PDO thread lift Korea procedures at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Consultation and Skin Mapping — 60-90 Minutes
Dr. Baek Seung-Jae performs a 60-90 minute skin analysis and marks insertion points on the jawline, cheek, and nasolabial area. Typical PDO thread lift Korea plans use 10-30 lines depending on laxity grade (I-IV). RE:BERRY Myeongdong shows the full price list upfront before agreement.
Topical Anesthesia — 20-30 Minutes
Topical lidocaine-prilocaine cream is applied for 20-30 minutes to numb insertion sites. Local injection supplements 0.5-1cc of 1% lidocaine per cannula entry point. Pain levels average 2-4 on a 10-point scale during insertion of PDO thread lift Korea needles.
Thread Insertion — 30-45 Minutes
Dr. Baek inserts 10-30 Korean-made absorbable PDO threads (0.8-1.0mm gauge, 90-180mm length) at 4-6mm subcutaneous depth using 18G blunt cannulas. Threads are anchored and vectored upward-outward for V-line contouring. Full procedure takes 30-45 minutes per full-face session.
Aftercare and Follow-Up — 3-7 Days Downtime
Mild bruising and swelling resolve in 3-7 days. Avoid chewing hard foods for 7 days and sleep supine for 14 days. Follow-up at day 14 checks thread position. 100% of RE:BERRY patients receive 8-language aftercare instructions before leaving.
What to Expect from PDO thread lift
- Immediate Physical Lift: Threads anchor tissue upward within the 30-45 minute procedure for visible day-1 lifting.
- Collagen Scaffold: PDO triggers 3-6 month neocollagenesis lasting 6-12 months after thread absorption.
- Korean-Made Threads: RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses Korean-manufactured PDO threads with KFDA approval — Korea makes 75%+ of global PDO supply.
- Same-Day Return: 3-7 day downtime. Most RE:BERRY Myeongdong patients return to work within 3 days with concealer.
- Combinable: Pair PDO thread lift with Ultherapy Prime, Sofwave, or filler for multi-depth results.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 0 (Procedure) | 60-90 min total visit including 20-30 min numbing and 30-45 min insertion. Immediate lift visible. |
| Day 1-3 | Mild swelling and bruising peak. Pain 2-4/10 — managed with ice and ibuprofen 400mg 3x daily. |

The Science Behind PDO thread lift
Peer-reviewed research supporting PDO thread lift mechanism and efficacy.
PDO Material Science and Absorption Kinetics
Polydioxanone is a synthetic absorbable polymer used in surgical sutures since 1981. PDO threads for aesthetic use are manufactured with 0.8-1.0mm gauge and 90-180mm lengths, inserted at 4-6mm subcutaneous depth. Absorption occurs via hydrolysis over 6-8 months, producing CO2 and H2O as final byproducts — zero long-term foreign body retention. During absorption, PDO induces fibroblast activation, generating 15-30% collagen increase at the thread site by month 3 per Kang et al. (2015). KFDA-approved Korean manufacturers produce 75%+ of the world’s PDO thread supply.
Biomechanics of Tissue Repositioning
Suh et al. (2015) quantified thread-lifting biomechanics using 3D imaging on 33 patients and found average jawline elevation of 3.2mm at 1 month and 2.1mm at 6 months post-PDO thread lift procedure. The study documented a 62% persistence of lifting effect at month 6 and identified thread-number correlation: patients receiving 20+ threads showed 40% greater sustained lift versus 10-thread protocols. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s full-face PDO thread lift protocol uses 20-30 threads per session based on laxity grade.
Clinical Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction
A systematic review by Kim et al. (2019) analyzing 12 PDO thread studies (n=842 total patients) reported 84% patient satisfaction at 6 months and 71% at 12 months. Mean Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) scores improved by 2.3 points on a 5-point scale. Adverse events were mild and self-limiting: bruising (28%), edema (22%), and thread extrusion under 2%. RE:BERRY Myeongdong follows these protocols and reports equivalent satisfaction across 30,000+ all-service treatments.

Today I went to my first skin clinic ever. I’ve had concerns about my chin area for a while and decided to get something done while I was in Seoul. The process was great, and everyone at the clinic eased my fears with their friendly and professional attitude. They have multiple staff members speaking English as well. T...
I had a great experience with the Onda 60kJ treatment. The clinic has a wonderful atmosphere and feels like a luxury hotel. The reception staff were very kind and welcoming. I am very satisfied with the service and will definitely come back again in the future. Love RE:BERRY 💛

Reberry Clinic was a great experience for skincare. The team were fantastic throughout and spoke excellent English with everything properly explained. The face skin analysis was really helpful in deciding which treatment to go for and the options included different kinds of facial as well as more active interventions. ...
Highly recommend it! This is my 2nd time at this clinic. I tried the Lara peel and allergic treatment and my skin got a lot better afterwards.😊 Would definitely come back next time I'm in Seoul. Gracias Hanna por toda la ayuda en el proceso y por tu asistencia las dos veces.🙏🏻
