Do you think all thread lifts are the same? Elatens lifting is different, starting with how it lifts.

When your face starts to look sagging or your jawline becomes blurry, it's only natural to start looking into facial thread lifts.

But once you start researching, you'll find there are many types of thread lifts,

and each thread has slightly different characteristics.

It's only natural to feel unsure about which thread to choose.

At Clyve, we place importance on one more factor.

That is how the thread is applied,

and where on the face and in which direction it is designed.

Even with the same facial thread lift, face shape, skin condition, and the areas where sagging appears differ from person to person.

Today, along with the features of Elatens Lifting offered at Clyve, let's talk about which areas are worth paying attention to.

Thread lift types: each thread has its own characteristics!

The threads used in thread lifts are divided into several types based on their shape.

The most common examples are mono threads, which have no protrusions, and cog threads, which use protrusions to support tissue.

Thread Lift Type

Characteristics

Mono thread

Thin thread with no protrusions

Cog thread

Thread that uses protrusions to support tissue

Specialized structure thread

Thread with structural features that differ from standard threads

As you can see, each thread differs slightly in shape and structure.

So, is knowing the type of thread enough?

Not necessarily.

Even with the same type of thread, the treatment plan can vary

depending on which area of the face it is applied to.

This is exactly where Clyve focuses its attention in Elatens Lifting.

We examine not only the characteristics of the thread itself, but also how it is applied to the face.

CLYVE Elatens: SMAS-layer lift for sagging cheeks and jawline, elastic-band support for natural movement, and planning around downtime.

[Clyve Elatens Lifting]

The three key features worth noting in Clyve Elatens Lifting are

the structure of the thread and the method used to apply it.

In particular, the elastic band structure and an approach that considers the SMAS layer,

along with the insertion position and direction design based on face shape, are the aspects worth focusing on.

POINT 01 Elastic Band Structure

Clyve plans treatment by considering the structural characteristics of the thread, the sagging patterns of the face,

and the direction in which the tissue is supported.

Rather than simply choosing a type of thread,

we look at how to best apply the characteristics of Elatens.

POINT 02 An Approach That Considers the SMAS Layer

Clyve considers not only the skin surface but also the anatomical structures beneath the face, including the SMAS layer.

Beyond visible changes in the skin, what sets our approach apart is that we also examine the structure beneath the face.

POINT 03 Insertion Position and Direction Design

Everyone's face shape is different, and so is the location of sagging around the cheeks or jaw, right?

Some people are concerned about the area around the cheeks, while others may be more bothered by the jawline.

Clyve takes these differences into account when planning the insertion points and lifting direction of the threads.

So how are these factors reflected in the actual treatment plan?

At Clyve, before treatment, we first assess face shape, skin condition,

and the areas where sagging is present.

Afterward, we plan in detail where and in which direction to place the threads to suit each person's facial condition.

Planning Step

What Clyve Considers

Facial structure analysis

Face shape, skin condition, areas of sagging

Direction setting

Facial structure and direction of tissue support

Placement design

Insertion points that account for the thread's structural characteristics

As such, the process of assessing facial condition and building a plan before treatment

is an important part of Clyve Elatens Lifting.

Double Chin Thread Lifting: We Don't Focus Only on the Area Under the Chin

Many people look into facial thread lifts because of a double chin.

When fat folds under the chin or the jawline becomes blurry, the entire face can look heavy.

However, a double chin is hard to attribute to fat alone.

Skin elasticity, the shape of the jawline, and sagging of the surrounding tissue can also contribute.

That's why, in double chin thread lifting, Clyve looks beyond the area under the chin

and also examines the shape of the lower face.

Three Lower-Face Factors Clyve Examines

​

☑️ Submental tissue and skin condition

The concerns can look different depending on the distribution of fat under the chin and skin condition.

​

☑️ Jawline and facial contour

Whether only the area under the chin stands out, or whether the blurring extends along the jawline,

is also worth examining.

​

☑️ Location and direction of sagging

Even with the same double chin concern, the location

and pattern of sagging can differ.

For example, when fat under the chin is the main concern, and when skin sagging is also present,

the points to consider in the treatment plan may differ, right?

As such, a double chin cannot always be explained by the area under the chin alone.

The lower face extends from under the chin to the jawline and the tip of the chin.

Clyve examines all of these areas and plans double chin thread lifting and Elatens Lifting accordingly.

Take a Closer Look at Facial Thread Lifting with Clyve

While researching thread lifts, you may have looked into which thread is best

and how many threads should be used.

Of course, the type and structure of the thread are important criteria.

But it's just as important to understand how your facial condition is assessed

and in which direction the treatment is planned. We hope you'll look into that as well.

Through Elatens Lifting, Clyve examines the structural characteristics of the thread, the anatomy of the face,

and the treatment design based on each person's face shape.

If you are considering a thread lift for cheek sagging, a blurred jawline, or a double chin,

be sure to have a thorough consultation with Clyve about your current facial condition and treatment plan.

Going one step beyond which thread is used,

check how the approach will be applied to your face.

That's a good place to start.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of threads are used in facial thread lifting?

Is knowing the thread type enough to choose a treatment?

No, knowing only the thread type may not be enough. Even when the same thread is used, the treatment plan can vary depending on which area of the face it is applied to.

What should I pay attention to in Elatens Lifting?

Elatens Lifting highlights three key aspects: the elastic band structure, an approach that considers the SMAS layer, and the design of insertion points and direction according to face shape. The article emphasizes examining both the structure of the thread and how it is applied.

Does double chin thread lifting only focus on the area under the chin?

No, it examines not only the area under the chin but also the jawline, the contour of the lower face, and the location and direction of sagging. The article explains that a double chin is not only a matter of fat, and that skin elasticity, jawline shape, and sagging of the surrounding tissue can also contribute.

What is checked before facial thread lifting?

Before treatment, face shape, skin condition, and areas of sagging are assessed first. Then, the placement and direction of the threads are planned in detail to suit each person's facial condition.

Can the sagging pattern differ even with the same double chin concern?

Yes, even with the same double chin concern, the location and pattern of sagging can differ. According to the article, the points to consider in the treatment plan may differ between cases where fat under the chin is the main concern and cases where skin sagging is also present.
