Hello!
I am Director Hwang Bo-jeong of Cleor Clinic Gangnam Branch.
"My under-eye area looks hollow even though I haven't lost weight."
"My nasolabial folds have deepened, creating shadows."
Some people start to worry about hollowness before sagging.
It's not just a loss of volume,
but a change caused by the collapse of the structure beneath the skin.
For these concerns, rather than pulling the skin,
an approach that fills the hollow space from within is often more appropriate.
Gangnam Jamber Thread Lifting is a thread procedure that takes this approach.
To those who visit near Gangnam Station for consultations regarding hollowness,
I will summarize the information I frequently explain today.
Reasons Why Hollowness Occurs
Hollowness under the eyes or deepening nasolabial folds
is not just a problem on the skin's surface.
Beneath the skin, layers of collagen, fat, and ligament tissues are positioned,
and as we age, these structures thin out and lose elasticity.
A new cushion bounces back after being pressed,
but just as an old cushion remains sunken and cannot be restored,
the tissues beneath the skin change in a similar way.
It is difficult for creams or essences to reach this depth,
which is why a method that directly accesses the internal structure is necessary.
What is Gangnam Jamber Thread Lifting?
Gangnam Jamber Thread Lifting is
a procedure that inserts spring-coil-shaped threads made of PDO (Polydioxanone)
beneath the skin in hollow areas.
PDO is a material used as surgical sutures for decades,
which naturally decomposes in the body and has minimal foreign body reactions.
The unique feature of Jamber Thread lies in its shape.
While regular threads have straight or barbed structures,
Jamber Thread is shaped like a tightly wound spring coil.
👉After being inserted while wound around a needle, once the needle is removed,
the spring returns to its original shape,
working by pushing up volume within the hollow space.
If fillers fill from the outside,
Jamber Thread fills by creating a structure from the inside.
As the thread gradually decomposes within the body,
it induces collagen production in the surrounding tissues,
acting in a way that some effects remain even after the thread has dissolved.
Which areas is it used for?
Gangnam Jamber Thread Lifting is mainly used for areas where hollowness is prominent.
Cases where the under-eye area is sunken like tear troughs, creating dark shadows
Cases where the nasolabial folds are sunken
Cases where lines appear between the cheeks, such as Indian bands
Cases where the front cheeks or temples appear hollow
Because the roles of lifting threads and filling threads are different,
if sagging is the main concern, cog-type threads are more suitable,
while if hollowness is the main concern, Jamber-type threads may be more appropriate.
In cases where both concerns exist,
they may be designed to be performed together.
Types of Jamber Threads used at Cleor Clinic Gangnam Branch
The Jamber Threads used in Gangnam Jamber Thread Lifting
are selected differently depending on the area and purpose.
👉Jamber Volume Threadis a 40cm long thread with excellent elasticity
in the form of a tightly compressed spring.
For hollowness in wide areas such as cheeks, nasolabial folds, and temples,
it is mainly used to create three-dimensional volume.
Due to the nature of the spring structure, the contact area with skin tissue is wide,
which is also helpful in terms of collagen regeneration.
👉Jamber Eyeis a thread specialized for the tissues around the eyes.
Because the skin under the eyes or tear troughs is thin and the structure is delicate,
it is difficult to apply regular threads directly.
Jamber Eye is a dedicated thread with elasticity adjusted for this area,
characterized by minimal foreign body sensation after the procedure and
natural movement according to facial expressions.
It is also used for fine line care around the eyes.
Although both are spring threads of the same Jamber line,
their elasticity and design are different to suit the characteristics of the area.
Which thread is right for your current area of concern
will be determined after a direct consultation.
How is it different from fillers?
While it may seem similar to fillers in that it fills hollow areas, the method and properties are different.
Fillers are a method of immediately filling space by injecting gel components such as hyaluronic acid.
On the other hand, 👉Jamber Thread works by the thread structure itself forming volume
and inducing collagen production as it decomposes.
For those who find fillers burdensome or are concerned about continuous injections,
and for those who want natural volume formation,
Jamber Thread can be an excellent option.
However,immediate and distinct volume changes as significant as fillers
may be difficult to expect in some cases.
Which method is more suitable for your current skin condition will be explained after a direct consultation.
Many people feel changes immediately after Jamber Thread Lifting,
but it is more accurate to check the final results after 2–4 weeks when the swelling has subsided.
Decomposition within the body typically occurs within about 6 months,
and the duration of effects also varies depending on individual skin conditions and lifestyles.
Although it is known for minimal foreign body sensation or pain, immediately after insertion,
there may be a pulling sensation or slight discomfort, and individual experiences may vary.
Additionally, if the cause of hollowness is not a change in the structure beneath the skin
but other factors, the effects may be limited.
☝️ It may be suitable for these individuals
Those concerned about under-eye hollowness or tear troughs
Those worried about hollowness in the nasolabial folds or Indian band area
Those who feel burdened by fillers or are looking for other options
Those who want collagen regeneration as the thread decomposes
For individuals like these, Gangnam Jamber Thread Lifting can be a great option.
If you are pregnant, have inflammation in the treatment area,
or have a keloid-prone constitution, a consultation is mandatory before the procedure.
❗️Precautions
For 1–2 weeks after the procedure, avoid pressing the treated area firmly
or receiving strong massages.
It is recommended to refrain from saunas, hot spring baths, and strenuous exercise
for at least one week after the procedure,
and be sure to use sunscreen starting from the next day.
Temporary swelling, redness, or a pulling sensation may occur in the treated area,
but most will naturally subside within a few days.
If you have an important schedule, it is recommended to receive the procedure at least 2 weeks in advance.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Are the effects of Gangnam Jamber Thread Lifting visible immediately?
Many people feel a change in volume immediately after the procedure.
However, since swelling is present initially,
it is more accurate to check the final results after 2–4 weeks.
Q. Should I get fillers or Jamber Thread?
It depends on the degree of hollowness and the desired results.
If you want immediate and distinct volume changes, fillers are suitable,
while if you want natural volume formation along with collagen regeneration, Jamber Thread may be more appropriate.
In some cases, both are performed together,
and we will guide you after checking your skin condition directly.
Q. Can Jamber Thread be inserted under the eyes?
Yes, it is possible.
The under-eye area and tear troughs are among the most common areas where Jamber Thread is used.
However, because the tissue around the eyes is delicate,
the insertion depth and direction must be meticulously designed.
Q. Is it very painful?
The procedure is performed after applying numbing cream and is known for having minimal foreign body sensation or pain.
However, depending on the area, a momentary feeling of pressure may be felt during insertion,
and individual experiences may vary.
Gangnam Jamber Thread Lifting is a procedure that structurally fills hollow areas from within
and approaches treatment by inducing collagen regeneration.
It can be an option for concerns where filling is more important than pulling.
