Forehead Thread Lift Cost in Korea

A Forehead Thread Lift is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that lifts and smooths the skin on the forehead using dissolvable threads. It improves brow position, reduces forehead wrinkles, and creates a more youthful appearance without the need for traditional surgery. Korean cosmetic clinics offer thread lifts using modern techniques such as PDO, PLLA, or PCL threads with minimal downtime.
