PDO sutures that lift descending tissue and refine the jawline into a cleaner V-shape.
"A natural, lasting result depends on first reading the cause and depth of the descent — and then matching the thread type, length, and vector to that picture."
— Dr. Choi Dong-Il, Director
A non-incisional procedure in which medical-grade PDO sutures lift descending tissue and stimulate the dermis from beneath the skin.
Thread lift uses medical-grade PDO sutures to lift and anchor descending tissue from beneath the skin. The result smooths the wrinkles that form from skin laxity and brings an uneven jawline back into a cleaner V-shape.
VOV Lift is a next-generation absorbable suture in which the PDO thread is precision-cut with a specialized blade — without thermal processing — to produce uniform, robust barbs. The 180° bidirectional barb design delivers stronger lifting, while the same suture also stimulates collagen and improves overall skin tone.
※ Beyond VOV, the clinic also uses several other PDO thread types in customized combinations.
A non-incisional treatment with minimal downtime.
PDO sutures the body safely absorbs over time.
A robust barb structure formed without thermal processing.
A noticeable refinement in jawline contour right after the procedure.
Continued dermal collagen stimulation that develops the result over time.
Five common situations in which a thread lift tends to be the right fit.
Wrinkles that have
developed from sagging
An uneven jawline that
has lost its smoothness
A lifting result
without incisions
A visible change
right away
An improvement in
overall skin tone as well
VOV Lift uses a specialized blade to carve uniform, robust barbs into a PDO thread without applying any thermal processing. By preserving the thread's native tensile strength, the same suture delivers stronger lifting and a more reliable hold than conventional barbed threads.
180° bidirectional barbs anchor descending tissue with greater stability than single-direction designs.
Sustained dermal collagen stimulation refines the texture and tone of the overlying skin.
From the forehead to the neckline, every area of descent can be addressed.
The depth and direction of descent are mapped first, with the design tailored to each region.
Heat-free, bidirectional barbed PDO suture.
VOV's signature manufacturing technique. The barbs are mechanically cut into the PDO thread with a specialized blade — no thermal processing, no melting of the polymer.
Because no heat is applied, the suture retains its native tensile strength — for a stronger and more reliable lift.
Beyond VOV, Gangnam Seoyon also uses several other PDO thread types in customized combinations.
