What Is a procedure at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport?
Thread lift at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport uses PDO barbed cog threads with HIFU-assisted protocols per 100 Shurink shots and Spring Contouring Packages. Open 365 days with complimentary airport pickup from ICN Terminal 1.
Thread lift has become one of the most sought-after non-surgical face lifting procedures among international patients visiting Korea. Unlike energy-based devices that rely on collagen stimulation over months, a procedure delivers immediate visible lifting by physically repositioning descended facial tissue using absorbable barbed threads inserted beneath the skin. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, we offer a comprehensive thread lift program that combines mechanical PDO thread insertion with energy-based lifting technologies for compounded results. Our Shurink Universe HIFU system delivers focused ultrasound at controlled depths to tighten the SMAS layer, while V-RO lifting provides targeted skin tightening per 100 shots. For patients seeking maximum V-line definition, PDO barbed cog threads create an instant scaffolding effect along the jawline and midface, which the body then reinforces with new collagen deposition over 2-6 months. The Spring Contouring Package combines Shurink 300 shots + InMode FX + Shurink Tightening Band — an ideal introduction to thread lift for international travelers. Dr. Sunbeen Kim, Head Director and Aesthetic Medicine Specialist, holds official Thread Lift Certification and customizes every protocol based on facial anatomy assessment, degree of laxity, and patient goals. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport also offers advanced combination packages including the Firm & Sculpt V-Line Treatment pairing Onda 100kJ with V-RO 600 shots for patients requiring both lifting and contouring. Open 365 days a year with complimentary airport pickup from ICN Terminal 1.
Effects & Progress
Effects & Progress
Different devices reach different depths — from the deep support layer to the dermis and beneath the skin — so several layers are treated in one plan.
Mild redness, warmth, or slight puffiness in treated areas. Most settles within hours to a day; makeup is usually possible the same day.
Early tightening becomes noticeable as collagen remodeling begins — skin often feels firmer to the touch before the visible change peaks.
Peak period: collagen and elastin renewal reaches its stride, with firmer contours along the jawline and cheeks. Response speed varies by individual.
Maintenance period. Depending on the device, results are typically maintained for around a year; RE:BERRY will guide your repeat interval and device rotation.

Effects & Progress
Sagging happens at several depths at once, so treating one layer alone often falls short. Micro-focused ultrasound reaches the deep support layer, radiofrequency and parallel-beam ultrasound firm the dermis, and microwave energy addresses the layer beneath the skin — combined into one plan that manages multiple depths in the same session.
Because energy passes through the skin surface without incisions, there is no recovery room stay and most people go straight back to daily routines — makeup is usually possible the same day. Brief redness, warmth, or mild swelling can occur and typically settles within hours to a few days, which makes these treatments practical for busy schedules and travelers.
Controlled thermal energy creates micro-zones of stimulation that switch on the skin's own repair response, promoting new collagen and elastin. Firmness therefore builds gradually and naturally over 8–12 weeks rather than appearing overnight, and the change comes from your own tissue — not from an implanted material.
Every lifting device in the clinic — Ultherapy Prime, Thermage FLX, Sofwave, and Onda — is a genuine, officially supplied unit, and sealed authentic tips and cartridges are confirmed with you before opening. Shot counts, intensity ranges, and coverage follow standardized protocols, so the treatment you receive matches the plan you agreed to.

What to Expect from Thread Lift at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
- Immediate Visible Lift: Unlike collagen-stimulating devices that require 2-3 months for results, thread lift produces visible jaw and midface repositioning immediately after the procedure — 70% of the final result is visible on day one.
- Dual Mechanism — Lift + Collagen: PDO barbed cogs create instant mechanical lifting while simultaneously triggering neocollagenesis along the thread tract, providing both immediate and progressive thread lift improvement over 3-6 months.
- Minimal Downtime for Travelers: recovery is 3-7 days with mild swelling. The Spring Contouring Package (Shurink + InMode FX) requires zero downtime. Most patients resume normal activities within 24-48 hours after thread lift.
- Combination Protocols Available: RE:BERRY pairs thread lift with Shurink HIFU, V-RO, Onda, and Sofwave for multi-depth facial rejuvenation — addressing SMAS, dermis, and subcutaneous layers simultaneously.
- Certified Thread Lift Practitioner: Dr. Sunbeen Kim holds official Thread Lift Certification and has performed 2,000+ thread procedures with documented before-and-after records across diverse ethnic backgrounds.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Thread lift completed. Immediate visible lifting of treated areas. Mild swelling and tenderness at insertion points. Cold compress applied. |
| Day 1-3 | Swelling peaks then begins resolving. Mild bruising possible at entry points. lift effect becomes clearer as swelling subsides. Avoid excessive facial movements. |
| Day 5-7 | Most swelling resolved. results clearly visible. Makeup can be applied. Most patients return to normal social activities. Safe to fly after 48 hours. |
| Week 2-4 | Residual firmness softens. Collagen synthesis begins along thread pathways. results continue to refine as tissue settles into new position. |
| Month 2-3 | Peak collagen production around threads. results at their best — combination of mechanical lift plus new collagen reinforcement. Skin quality improvement visible. |
| Month 6-18 | PDO threads fully absorbed by month 6-8. Collagen scaffolding remains and continues supporting the lifted tissue. results maintained 12-18 months. Maintenance sessions recommended annually. |

The Science Behind Thread Lift
PDO procedure: Mechanisms of Mechanical Lifting and Collagen Induction
Thread lift using polydioxanone (PDO) absorbable sutures has emerged as a leading minimally invasive alternative to surgical face lifting. PDO threads provide two distinct mechanisms of action: immediate mechanical tissue repositioning via barbed anchor points, and delayed biological tissue remodeling through foreign body-induced neocollagenesis. When PDO barbed cog threads are inserted into the subcutaneous fat layer and tensioned along anatomical lifting vectors, the bidirectional barbs engage surrounding tissue to create an immediate scaffolding effect that physically repositions descended fat pads and skin. Clinical studies demonstrate an average of 3.5mm visible lift in the midface and 2.8mm along the jawline immediately after insertion.
The collagen induction phase of thread lift begins within 1-2 weeks as the body mounts a controlled inflammatory response around each PDO filament. Histological analysis reveals progressive Type I and Type III collagen deposition along the thread tract, with peak fibroblast activity occurring at 8-12 weeks post-insertion. This biological reinforcement explains why results continue improving for 2-3 months after the procedure. PDO threads undergo complete hydrolytic degradation by 6-8 months, but the collagen scaffold persists for 12-18 months, maintaining the lifting effect well beyond thread absorption. Recent biomechanical testing shows that barbed cog threads generate 3-4 times greater tissue holding force compared to smooth monofilament threads, which is why barbed designs are preferred for load-bearing thread lift applications in the jowl and midface.
Combination protocols pairing thread lift with energy-based devices have demonstrated synergistic outcomes in clinical trials. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) devices like Shurink create thermal coagulation points in the SMAS layer at 60-70 degrees Celsius, triggering connective tissue contraction that complements the mechanical lift from threads. Radiofrequency devices such as InMode FX and V-RO add volumetric dermal heating that improves skin elasticity in the superficial layers. Multi-modality approaches consistently show 15-25% greater patient satisfaction scores compared to thread lift alone, supporting the multi-device protocol used at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport.
