Hello!
I am Dr. Dong-young Kim, Director of Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch.
There are days when you look in the mirror and, even though you haven't lost weight,
your face looks somewhat hollow or tired.
The most common signs are sunken areas under the eyes
or shadows formed as the lower cheeks become flat.
These changes are not caused by the skin sagging downward,
but by the reduction of the underlying structures beneath the skin.
This is a concern that cannot be resolved simply by pulling the skin with a lifting procedure.
Hongdae Jamber Thread Lifting is a procedure that directly addresses this hollowness.
Today, I will honestly explain everything from the principles to who is a suitable candidate.
What is happening beneath the skin?
The skin consists of multiple layers.
Below the epidermis and dermis lies the fat layer,
which is supported by the underlying ligaments and fascia structure.
As we age, this fat layer thins out,
and as collagen fibers become sparse, much like a cushion losing its stuffing,
the surface begins to sink inward.
The reason the under-eye area often appears sunken first
is because the skin in this area is thin and has a minimal fat layer,
causing structural changes to become visible on the surface quicklyis.
The flattening of the cheeks follows the same principle.
Since creams or essences only work on the surface,
they do not reach these deep structural changes.
What is Hongdae Jamber Thread Lifting?
Hongdae Jamber Thread Lifting is
a procedure that inserts spring-coil-shaped PDO (Polydioxanone) threads
under the skin of sunken areas
to create volume from within and induce collagen regeneration.
To explain the mechanism simply:
Just as putting a spring inside a flattened pillow
makes the pillow puff up again,
the spring-shaped threads settle into the hollow spaces
and work by pushing up the volume.
As the threads gradually decompose within the body,
they stimulate collagen production in the surrounding tissues,
helping to maintain elasticity to some extent even after the threads have completely dissolved.
Unlike conventional cog thread lifting, which hooks and pulls the tissue,
the key is that it works by creating and filling volume.
Types of Jamber Threads used at Cleor Hongdae
For Hongdae Jamber Thread Lifting, different types of threads are selected based on the area of concern.
👉 Jamber Eyeis a thread specifically designed for the under-eye area.
Because the skin around the eyes is thin and densely packed with blood vessels and nerves,
it is difficult to apply the elasticity of standard threads.
Jamber Eye features reduced elasticity suited for this area
and is designed with a blunt-tip cannula
to allow for a delicate approach without irritating blood vessels.
It is also used for deep tear troughs or fine lines around the eyes.
👉 Jamber Volume Threadis used for volume improvement in broader areas such as
the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and temples.
With a high-elasticity spring structure where 40cm of thread is densely compressed,
it creates three-dimensional volume in hollow spaces.
The large contact area with skin tissue also aids in collagen regeneration.
Both types of threads are made of PDO, resulting in minimal foreign body reactions during decomposition,
and leave no residue after dissolving.
How is it different from fillers?
Many people first think of fillers when it comes to filling sunken areas.
Fillers involve injecting a gel-like substance to immediately fill the space.
Disadvantages of Fillers
While volume changes are distinct and immediate,
they can look unnatural if over-injected or placed incorrectly.
With Jamber threads, the thread structure itself creates volume,
and changes build up gradually through collagen regeneration.
Although the immediate volume change is less than that of fillers,
it has the characteristic of settling naturally within the tissue.
In some cases, both are used together.
When Jamber threads provide the structure, fillers can be more stably fixed,
allowing the volumeto last longer.
To be honest,
While some feel the volume change immediately after the procedure,
since initial swelling occurs,
the stabilized point after 2 to 4 weeks is more suitable for checking the final results.
Decomposition typically takes about 6 months, and the duration of effects varies depending on individual skin conditions.
If the hollowness is severe or caused by factors other than structural changes,
the effects may be limited.
Suitable for the following individuals:
Those concerned about under-eye hollowness or tear troughs
Those whose face looks tired due to flattening cheeks
Those who find fillers burdensome or want natural volume formation
Those considering thread procedures near Hongdae or Mapo
In these cases, Hongdae Jamber Thread Lifting can be an excellent option.
If you are pregnant or have inflammation in the treatment area,
or if you have a keloid-prone skin type, a consultation is required first.
❗️ Precautions
Avoid pressing hard on the treated area or getting strong massages for 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure.
It is recommended to avoid saunas, hot tubs, and strenuous exercise for at least one week.
Please start using sunscreen from the following day.
Temporary swelling, tightness, and redness usually subside naturally within a few days.
If you have an important event, we recommend getting the procedure at least 2 weeks in advance.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How are Jamber Eye and Jamber Volume threads different?
They are both spring threads from the Jamber line, but their designs differ.
Jamber Eye is a specialized thread with low elasticity for the thin skin around the eyes,
while Volume Thread is a high-elasticity compressed thread that creates volume in broader areas like the cheeks and nasolabial folds.
The appropriate thread varies depending on the area and concern.
Q. How many threads are needed for Hongdae Jamber Thread Lifting?
It depends on the degree of hollowness and the size of the treatment area.
Many people prefer starting with a small number of threads to observe the changes.
We will provide guidance after a physical examination during your visit.
Q. Can I get fillers and Jamber Eye under my eyes at the same time?
Yes, it is possible in certain cases.
When Jamber Eye establishes the structure first, the filler can be more stably fixed,
creating a complementary relationship that helps the volume last longer.
Whether to combine the two will be determined after checking the condition of your under-eye area.
Q. How is the pain during the procedure?
The procedure is performed after applying numbing cream and is known to have minimal discomfort or pain.
A momentary feeling of pressure may occur during insertion,
and the sensation varies depending on individual sensitivity.
Q. When will I start to see the effects?
While some notice volume changes immediately after the procedure,
it is more accurate to check at the stabilized point after 2 to 4 weeks due to accompanying swelling.
The effects of collagen regeneration will continue to build up gradually after that.
Hongdae Jamber Thread Lifting is a procedure that approaches treatment by filling rather than pulling.
For changes caused by loss of volume, such as in the under-eye and cheek areas,
a single thread can design both the structure and collagen regeneration.
Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch is located near Hongik University Station.
We personally examine the degree of hollowness and skin condition of our visitors
to determine whether Jamber Eye or Volume Thread is more suitable
and provide honest guidance.
