Hello!
I am Dr. Hyuk-chan Cho, Director of Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch.
"My lips look thin because they are curled inward."
"Shadows have formed as the area under my eyes has become hollow."
"I'm told I look older because my cheeks are hollow."
In many cases, these concerns are better addressed by filling the hollow areas rather than pulling the skin.
A filling approach is often more appropriate for hollowed regions.
When people think of lifting procedures, they often imagine pulling the skin upward,
but among thread procedures, there is also a method that fills rather than pulls.
Uijeongbu Jamber Thread Lifting is exactly that type of procedure.
Today, I will explain the principles of how filling thread procedures work,
and how they are utilized for specific areas.
Hollowness and Sagging are Different Issues
Skin aging generally progresses in two directions.
One is sagging, and the other is hollowness.
Sagging is the downward movement of tissue due to gravity,
while hollowness is the reduction in volume as the collagen and fat structures beneath the skin thin out.
It is a change where the volume itself decreases.
Just as a clay sculpture may slump over time,
the surface can also become sunken as the inside dries and hollows out.
Similarly, the skin undergoes these two changes in different ways.
If hollowness is your primary concern,
an approach that builds internal structure is more suitable than a pulling approach.
This is why Uijeongbu Jamber Thread Lifting is gaining attention.
How Does Jamber Thread Work?
Jamber Thread is a spring-coil shaped thread made of PDO (Polydioxanone).
PDO is a material that has been used as surgical sutures for decades,
naturally dissolving within the body with minimal foreign body reaction.
After inserting the thread wound around a cannula-type guide,
the guide is removed, allowing the spring to return to its original shape,
thereby creating volume within the hollow space.
It features a special coating to minimize tissue irritation during insertion,
and because it uses a cannula with a rounded tip,
the structure reduces the risk of blood vessel damage.
As the thread gradually dissolves in the body,
it induces collagen production in the surrounding tissues,
allowing the effects to be maintained to some extent even after the thread has completely dissolved.
Types of Jamber Threads Used at Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu
In Uijeongbu Jamber Thread Lifting,
different types of threads are selected based on the area and purpose.
👉Jamber Volume Threadconsists of highly elastic long threads that are densely compressed.
It is used to create volume in wide areas such as the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and temples.
The large contact area with skin tissue also aids in collagen regeneration.
👉Jamber Eyeis a thread specifically designed for the eye area.
The skin under the eyes and the tear troughs is thin and delicate,
making it difficult to apply the elasticity of standard threads.
Jamber Eye uses threads with adjusted elasticity for this area,
minimizing foreign body sensation and moving naturally with facial expressions.
👉Jamber Lipis a thread specialized for curled upper lips.
As we age, the upper lip tends to curl inward and appear thinner,
and Jamber Lip is inserted into the lip border to
naturally unfold the curled lip outward.
When combined with fillers, it can supplement volume,
improving the overall impression of the lips.
We also utilize Mint Threads. At Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu,
we use Mint Threads in addition to the Jamber Thread series.
Mint Threads use a cog (barbed) structure to hook and lift tissue,
and are chosen for cases requiring a pulling approach,
such as V-line lifting or eyebrow lifts.
👉The Jamber series is used for areas requiring filling,
while Mint Threads are used for areas requiring pulling,
and both are designed in combination if both concerns exist.
The appropriate thread combination for your current skin condition
will be determined after a direct consultation.
While many notice volume changes immediately after the procedure,
it is more accurate to check the final results after 2–4 weeks once the swelling subsides.
Dissolution within the body typically occurs within about 6 months,
and the duration of effects varies depending on individual skin condition and lifestyle.
If the cause of hollowness is due to other factors
or is already advanced, the effects may be limited.
Ideal Candidates
Those concerned about under-eye hollowness or tear troughs
Those whose cheeks, nasolabial folds, or temples appear hollow
Those concerned about a curled upper lip
Those who want to fill naturally with threads instead of fillers
For these individuals, Uijeongbu Jamber Thread Lifting can be an excellent 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
Avoid pressing hard on or strongly massaging the treated area for 1–2 weeks after the procedure.
It is recommended to avoid saunas, hot stone rooms, and strenuous exercise for at least one week,
and be sure to apply sunscreen starting from the next day.
For lip procedures, it is recommended to avoid hot or spicy foods
for a few days.
Temporary swelling, redness, or a pulling sensation may occur at the treatment site,
but these typically subside naturally within a few days.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How many threads are needed for Uijeongbu Jamber Lip lifting?
It depends on the degree of lip curling and the desired result.
Many people choose to start with a small number, observe the changes,
and then add more if necessary.
We will guide you on the appropriate approach after examining your lip condition.
Q. Should I get Jamber Thread or Mint Thread?
The purposes are different.
Jamber Thread is more suitable for filling hollow areas and creating volume,
while Mint Thread is better for pulling sagging skin upward.
If both concerns are present, they can be used in combination.
Q. How long does the swelling last after the procedure?
It varies depending on the area and individual constitution.
Most swelling subsides within a few days, but sensitive areas like the eyes or lips
may take about a week.
If you have an important event, we recommend having the procedure at least 2 weeks in advance.
Q. Can it be performed along with fillers?
Yes, it is possible in some cases.
By having Jamber Thread form the structure and filler supplement the volume,
the combination can increase stability and maintain a more natural volume.
We will advise you on the right combination after a direct consultation.
Q. Is makeup possible on the same day?
It is best to avoid washing your face and applying makeup on the day of the procedure; light makeup is usually possible from the next day.
It is recommended to postpone using products with strong ingredients for 1–2 weeks.
Uijeongbu Jamber Thread Lifting is a procedure that approaches treatment by filling hollow spaces from within,
rather than pulling the skin.
It can be an option for changes caused by volume loss, such as in the under-eye area, cheeks, and lips.
At Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu, we personally examine each patient's skin condition
and provide honest guidance on whether Jamber Thread or Mint Thread
is more suitable for your current situation.
