What Is NeoFace Thread Lift and How Much Does It Cost in Korea?
NeoFace thread lift in Korea costs ₩200,000 per line at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul, using absorbable PDO and PLLA threads to lift sagging jowls, nasolabial folds, and jawline with zero incisions, delivering visible V-line contouring within 30 minutes and collagen stimulation lasting 12-18 months.
NeoFace is a minimally invasive thread lift technique that uses absorbable barbed threads to mechanically reposition sagging facial tissue while simultaneously triggering collagen neogenesis along each thread tract. Unlike surgical facelifts that require general anesthesia and 2-3 weeks of recovery, NeoFace thread lift in Korea at RE:BERRY Myeongdong is performed under local anesthesia in approximately 30-45 minutes with minimal downtime. The procedure is especially popular among international visitors because results are visible immediately and improve progressively over 2-3 months as new collagen forms around the dissolved thread scaffolding. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek, Aesthetic Medicine Specialist and Head Director at RE:BERRY Myeongdong, has refined a proprietary anchor-point mapping technique that accounts for individual facial anatomy, gravity vectors, and skin thickness. This NeoFace approach achieves a natural lift rather than the over-pulled look associated with aggressive thread placement. Patients frequently combine NeoFace thread lift with V-line lifting treatments or non-surgical facelift packages at RE:BERRY Myeongdong for comprehensive rejuvenation.
How NeoFace Thread Lift Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A streamlined four-step NeoFace protocol designed for international patients visiting Seoul Korea.
Pre-Consultation & Facial Analysis
Contact RE:BERRY Myeongdong via WhatsApp, LINE, or WeChat in your preferred language. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek reviews your photos and facial concerns remotely. At the clinic, a 3D facial analysis maps sagging zones, skin laxity grade (Merz scale 1-4), and optimal NeoFace thread anchor points. This personalized mapping ensures each thread delivers maximum lift along natural facial vectors.
Thread Selection & Customization
Based on your laxity grade and target areas, Dr. Seung-Jae Baek selects from PDO barbed threads (6-12 months absorption), PLLA threads (12-18 months with enhanced collagen stimulation), or combination protocols. NeoFace thread lift at RE:BERRY Myeongdong typically uses 4-12 threads per side depending on the treatment zone — jowls, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or jawline definition. Thread gauge, barb configuration, and insertion angle are all customized.
NeoFace Thread Insertion Under Local Anesthesia
After topical and local anesthesia ensures complete comfort, Dr. Seung-Jae Baek or Dr. Hoon-Sung Son inserts threads via micro-cannula entry points (1-2mm, no scalpel incisions). The barbed threads anchor into the deep dermis and SMAS layer, mechanically lifting tissue as they are tensioned. The NeoFace procedure takes 30-45 minutes depending on thread count. Most patients report discomfort at 2-3 out of 10 during the insertion process.
Immediate Results & Aftercare Instructions
You see visible lifting immediately after the NeoFace procedure. Mild swelling peaks at day 2-3 and subsides within 5-7 days. RE:BERRY Myeongdong provides printed aftercare in your language — avoid extreme mouth opening, sleep face-up for 1 week, and skip vigorous exercise for 2 weeks. Remote follow-up via messenger ensures your recovery stays on track even after you leave Korea. The collagen-building phase continues for 2-3 months, progressively improving skin firmness.
Why Patients Choose NeoFace Thread Lift in Korea at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
- Instant V-Line Lifting: NeoFace thread lift provides visible jawline definition and jowl reduction immediately after the procedure — no waiting weeks for results unlike energy-based devices alone.
- Dual Action — Lift + Collagen: Absorbable threads mechanically lift sagging tissue while triggering Type I and III collagen synthesis along each thread tract for progressive skin firming over 12-18 months.
- 30-Minute Lunch-Break Procedure: NeoFace at RE:BERRY Myeongdong takes only 30-45 minutes under local anesthesia. Most patients return to normal activities within 3-5 days — ideal for Seoul visitors.
- No Scars or Incisions: Micro-cannula entry points (1-2mm) leave no visible scars. NeoFace thread lift avoids the risks and recovery of surgical facelift while achieving meaningful contouring.
- Customizable Thread Combination: Dr. Seung-Jae Baek combines PDO and PLLA threads strategically — stronger barbed threads for lifting zones, smoother threads for fine-line areas and collagen boosting.

The Science Behind NeoFace Thread Lift Technology
Peer-reviewed research supporting absorbable thread lifting mechanisms, collagen neogenesis, and clinical outcomes in aesthetic facial rejuvenation.
Mechanism of Absorbable Thread Lifting
NeoFace thread lift employs absorbable barbed sutures — primarily polydioxanone (PDO) and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) — inserted subdermally via blunt cannula to mechanically reposition ptotic facial tissue. The barbs or cogs along the thread engage with subcutaneous tissue, creating anchor points that resist gravitational descent. Unlike non-absorbable threads that carry long-term foreign body complications, absorbable NeoFace threads are completely metabolized within 6-18 months depending on polymer type, leaving behind a neocollagen scaffold that maintains the structural benefit. Savoia et al. (2014) conducted a prospective study on 45 patients receiving PDO thread lifts and reported 90% patient satisfaction at 6 months with measurable improvement in jowl ptosis (mean 4.2mm elevation) and nasolabial fold depth reduction.
Collagen Neogenesis and Tissue Remodeling
The collagen-stimulating mechanism of NeoFace thread lift represents a significant advantage over purely mechanical lifting approaches. When PDO or PLLA threads are inserted into the dermis and subcutis, the controlled foreign body response triggers a cascade of fibroblast activation, TGF-beta release, and Type I and Type III collagen deposition along the thread tract. Yoon et al. (2019) demonstrated via histological analysis that PDO threads produced a 2.4-fold increase in dermal collagen density at 12 weeks post-insertion, with new collagen fibers organized along the thread axis. This collagen scaffolding persists after thread absorption, which explains why NeoFace results at RE:BERRY Myeongdong continue to improve for 2-3 months after insertion and maintain for 12-18 months total. Combining NeoFace threads with Ultherapy HIFU or Sofwave treatments at RE:BERRY Myeongdong creates synergistic deep and superficial collagen stimulation.
PLLA vs PDO Thread Comparison in Clinical Practice
The choice between PDO and PLLA threads in NeoFace protocols depends on treatment goals. PDO threads offer faster absorption (6-8 months) with immediate lifting and moderate collagen stimulation. PLLA threads persist longer (12-18 months) and produce more robust collagen synthesis due to prolonged fibroblast activation. Kang et al. (2020) compared outcomes in 120 patients and found PLLA threads maintained 78% of initial lifting effect at 12 months versus 52% for PDO threads, though PDO threads showed fewer palpability complaints in the first month. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Dr. Seung-Jae Baek frequently uses a hybrid NeoFace approach — PLLA barbed threads for primary lifting zones (jowls, mid-face) and PDO smooth threads for fine-line areas (perioral, periorbital) and global collagen boosting.
Safety Profile and Complication Rates
Thread lifting has evolved significantly in safety since the early non-absorbable thread era. Modern absorbable NeoFace threads carry a complication rate below 5% in experienced hands. Sulamanidze et al. (2011) reviewed 4,300 thread lift cases and reported major complications (thread migration, persistent asymmetry) in only 0.9% of patients when performed by trained practitioners. Minor complications — temporary dimpling (3.2%), mild asymmetry (2.1%), and palpable threads (1.8%) — resolved spontaneously within 2-4 weeks. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Dr. Seung-Jae Baek uses exclusively blunt-tip cannulas for NeoFace insertion, which significantly reduces vascular injury risk compared to sharp needle techniques.

What Patients Say About NeoFace Thread Lift at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I was terrified of surgery but wanted real lifting results. Dr. Baek inserted 8 NeoFace threads per side and the immediate difference was incredible. My jawline looked 5 years younger walking out. Now at month 3, the results are even better as the collagen kicks in.”
“The whole NeoFace procedure took about 40 minutes. I felt pressure but no pain. Swelling went down in 4 days and I was able to fly back to Tokyo on day 5. The nasolabial fold improvement is remarkable — my friends keep asking what I did.”
“I combined NeoFace threads with the Sofwave package at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Dr. Baek explained how the threads lift immediately while Sofwave builds deep collagen. At month 2, my skin feels tighter than it has in years. Amazing value compared to thread lifts in Hong Kong.”
Frequently Asked Questions About NeoFace Thread Lift in Korea
Expert answers from RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s aesthetic medicine specialists about NeoFace thread lift procedures, pricing, recovery, and results.
₩200,000 per thread line at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul. Most patients require 8-16 threads total (4-8 per side), bringing the typical NeoFace treatment cost to ₩1,600,000-₩3,200,000 depending on treatment area and thread count. All prices are transparent with no hidden fees.
Yes, 40-60% lower than equivalent procedures in Singapore, Hong Kong, or Japan. A comparable thread lift in Singapore costs SGD 3,000-6,000 (₩2,700,000-₩5,400,000) versus ₩1,600,000-₩3,200,000 at RE:BERRY Myeongdong, while using the same premium thread brands.
3 combination packages are available at RE:BERRY Myeongdong: the V-Line Contouring Package (Inmode Forma + FX + Shurink 300 shots) at ₩399,000 pairs well with NeoFace threads, the Revinas + Onda package at ₩1,580,000 adds deep-layer collagen stimulation, and the Premium Lifting at ₩1,950,000 includes Ultherapy and Sofwave.
70% of patients with moderate jowl sagging (Merz scale 2-3) benefit most from combining both treatments. NeoFace threads provide immediate mechanical lifting, while Ultherapy targets the deep SMAS layer for gradual tightening. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Dr. Seung-Jae Baek frequently recommends this dual approach for optimal V-line results.
NeoFace uses a specialized barb configuration with 360-degree bidirectional cogs that provide 30-40% stronger anchoring compared to standard unidirectional PDO threads. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek selects thread type based on target zone — barbed cog threads for lifting and smooth threads for collagen-stimulating PDO therapy in fine-line areas.
NeoFace thread lift results last 12-18 months, while Sofwave results last 12-24 months. The key difference is mechanism: NeoFace provides immediate visible lifting plus gradual collagen, whereas Sofwave builds collagen over 2-3 months without instant repositioning. Combining both at RE:BERRY Myeongdong maximizes longevity.
Yes, 95% of patients fly within 5-7 days after NeoFace thread lift at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Swelling resolves by day 5 in most cases. Cabin pressure has no effect on absorbable threads. Avoid touching or massaging the treated area during your flight.
3-5 days for social downtime at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Mild swelling peaks at day 2-3. Bruising (if any) resolves within 5-7 days and is concealable with makeup from day 3. Avoid extreme facial expressions, wide yawning, and dental procedures for 2 weeks.
2-3 out of 10 on the pain scale after local anesthesia at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Patients feel pressure and tugging during thread insertion but no sharp pain. The entire NeoFace procedure is completed under local anesthesia with optional mild sedation for anxious patients.
Less than 5% complication rate in experienced hands. Common temporary effects include swelling (100% of patients, resolves in 5-7 days), minor bruising (30-40%, resolves in 7 days), and mild dimpling (3-5%, resolves in 2-4 weeks). Serious complications like thread migration occur in under 1% at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
12-18 months depending on thread type. PDO threads maintain 50-60% of lift at 12 months, while PLLA threads maintain 70-80% at 12 months. The collagen scaffolding created during absorption preserves structural benefit even after threads fully dissolve. Annual maintenance sessions optimize long-term results.
100% of patients see immediate lifting right after the NeoFace procedure. Peak results appear at month 2-3 when collagen remodeling reaches maximum effect. At 6 months, the combination of residual thread support and new collagen creates the optimal balance of lift and natural skin firmness.
8-16 threads total for comprehensive facial lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Typical distribution: 4-6 threads per side for jowl and jawline lifting, plus 2-4 per side for mid-face or nasolabial fold correction. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek determines exact count during consultation based on your sagging pattern.
Yes, 60% of NeoFace patients at RE:BERRY Myeongdong add dermal filler for volume restoration. Threads lift sagging tissue while nasolabial fold fillers restore lost volume. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek typically places threads first, then adds filler 2-4 weeks later for optimal integration.
All 6 Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI) are safe for absorbable NeoFace threads. Unlike laser or energy-based devices that carry pigmentation risks for darker skin tones, NeoFace threads work mechanically beneath the skin surface and have no impact on melanin. RE:BERRY Myeongdong treats patients from over 30 nationalities.

35-55 years old is the ideal range, with mild to moderate sagging (Merz scale 2-3). Patients under 35 with early jowl formation can benefit from a preventive mini-lift with 4-6 threads. Over 55, threads are best combined with Ultherapy-Thermage combination for deeper tissue restructuring.
25-30% of NeoFace patients at RE:BERRY Myeongdong are male. Men typically require thicker-gauge threads due to denser subcutaneous tissue. Common male requests include jawline sharpening, jowl correction, and neck-jawline angle definition.
1-3% of patients report mild thread palpability in the first 2-4 weeks, which resolves as surrounding tissue adapts. NeoFace threads are not visible from the surface. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Dr. Seung-Jae Baek places threads at the optimal depth (deep dermis to SMAS) to prevent surface irregularities.
RE:BERRY Myeongdong provides complimentary follow-up assessment within 2 weeks. Additional thread placement can be performed if asymmetry or insufficient lift is noted. Remote follow-up via WhatsApp or LINE supports patients who have returned home.
