About the types of Elmlift threads
New PCL (Raw material: P (LA/CL) suture)
This is the latest material that combines the benefits of both PLA and long-lasting PCL.The thread is thick and has a strong cog, but when it enters the body, it becomes soft and adapts to the shape and movements of the face, making it difficult to feel any discomfort.The thread maintains its shape over time, so the lifting effect lasts for a long time.
The thread used in Elm Lift is a thread with fine "cogs" that is hooked into the subcutaneous tissue (inside fat) to lift up sagging tissue.Since the needle holes are not noticeable on the face after the treatment, you can apply normal makeup immediately after the treatment, and the feature is that there is little downtime (swelling, bruising).You can feel the effects immediately after treatment.
It uses the latest NewPCL, which is flexible and strong, and has the advantage of less pain after the treatment.It takes about two years for the threads to be completely absorbed.

About thread safety
New PCL is an absorbable suture used in general surgery.Due to hydrolysis, 100% is completely broken down and absorbed by the body.A large body of evidence from the scientific literature and test results over the past several decades proves this. It has obtained CE mark certification and FDA approval and is used in many medical devices all over the world without any problems.
Features and benefits of Elm Lift using thread
-
Point
short down time
Since this is a non-incisional treatment, there is less swelling and pain, and there are no visible scars.
-
Point
Pull up firmly with thick thread
We use Elm Doctor's original method to firmly lift up ``sagging'' using threads that are stronger than before.
-
Point
long duration
It takes about two years for the thread to be completely absorbed.
-
Point
Less foreign body sensation
Although the thread is thick and has a strong cog, it becomes soft when it enters the body, adapting to the shape and movement of the face, and maintains its shape even after a long period of time.
Treatment overview
Effect | Lift up sagging skin in a short period of time without cutting.Its feature is that it lasts longer than conventional absorbable threads. |
---|---|
Duration of treatment | 1 hour to 1 and a half hours |
pain | The pain during the procedure will be a tingling sensation due to the local anesthesia.Use local anesthesia. (Fee included) If you wish, laughing gas anesthesia can also be used for an additional 6,600 yen. (Fukuoka-in, Kyoto-in, Kumamoto-in, Osaka-in, Kobe-in, Omotesando-in, Azabu-in) There may be some pain at the insertion site for about a week after the procedure, but the pain is not so bad that it makes life difficult.It can be alleviated by taking painkillers. |
Postoperative | You can go home from the day of your treatment. You can wash your face, put on makeup, and shower (other than the treatment area) on the same day, and you can take a bath the next day. |
Progress | Swelling may occur, but it will subside in about a week. Inserting the threads causes a feeling of tightness in the skin.It tightens the skin and produces collagen, so the fact that it feels tight means that it is effective. If you are not satisfied with it, you can get it closer to your wishes by adding threads or inflating it with hyaluronic acid injection.Let's think about the ideal together with the doctor. |
Side effects | Redness, swelling, itching, lumps, allergic reactions, and internal bleeding may occur. |
Warnings | Please refrain from massaging your face for about 2 months after surgery. Please refrain from strenuous exercise for 2 weeks after surgery. Avoid drinking alcohol on the day after surgery. |
*Pain, downtime, and effects vary from person to person.
*The treatment time does not include counseling time.
*Pregnant women cannot undergo any treatments.
