Hi doctor,

Welcome to this free training — designed specifically for licensed professionals who are considering learning or offering thread lifting treatments.

If you’re new to thread lifting, or you’ve done a few cases but still want to make sure you’re starting on a strong and safe foundation, you’re in the right place.

This is not the hands-on technique module yet — this is where we get your mindset, safety knowledge, and clinical approach aligned before we even touch a thread.

Let’s walk through the essential prerequisites every injector must know before offering thread lifts.

🧠 1. What Is Thread Lifting — and What It’s Not

Let’s start with clarity.

Thread lifting is a non-surgical facial lifting technique that uses dissolvable threads to reposition tissue, stimulate collagen, and create a lifting effect — without surgery or downtime.

But thread lifting is not a magic fix, and it’s not a replacement for facelift surgery.

It works best when:

• The patient has mild to moderate skin laxity
• You select the right type of thread
• The vector plan is tailored to their facial anatomy

In this free course, we’ll lay the groundwork so you can understand the mechanics, the science, and the clinical judgment needed to make threads work.

✅ 2. Who Is the Right Patient for Threads?

This is one of the most common questions — and one of the most important.

Not everyone is a candidate for thread lifting. You’ll get the best results with patients who:

• Are in their late 30s to early 50s
• Have good skin quality but early signs of sagging
• Show ptosis in the mid or lower face
• Want natural-looking improvement without surgery
• Are realistic in their expectations

You should avoid offering threads to:

• Patients with heavy, thick skin and deep fat pads
• Patients with advanced laxity who would be better served by surgery
• People with bleeding disorders or autoimmune disease
• Anyone chasing a “tight” or “over-pulled” effect — that’s not what threads do well

We cover patient screening and red flags in more depth inside the full course — but this free module gives you a solid foundation for safe and successful case selection.

🩺 3. The Two Major Categories of Threads You Must Know

In thread lifting, we work primarily with:

• Barbed threads (lifting): For repositioning sagging tissue and mechanical lift
• Smooth or screw threads (stimulating): For collagen stimulation and skin quality improvement

In this free course, I’ll teach you:

• When to use lifting vs collagen threads
• Which facial zones respond best to each
• How to time threads with other procedures like filler or skin boosters

Understanding the purpose of each thread type helps you create treatment plans that are realistic, safe, and effective.

⚠️ 4. Safety Comes First — And Threads Are Not Low Risk

There’s a misconception that threads are “easy.” But let me be very clear: threads are not risk-free, and poor placement can lead to:

• Visible tracks under the skin
• Skin puckering or irregular pulling
• Thread extrusion
• Nerve compression
• Infection
• Long-term fibrosis or dimpling

In this prerequisite training, I’ll walk you through:

• The layers you must inject into (and which ones to avoid)
• How to avoid the temporal branch of the facial nerve
• What angle, depth, and entry points matter most

This isn’t just technique — this is judgment.

Safety comes from respecting anatomy, planning properly, and staying within the correct layer at all times.

🧰 5. Tools, Setup, and Practitioner Readiness

Thread lifting doesn’t require a large investment — but you must have the right tools and setup:

In this free course, I’ll help you understand:

• What thread length and type to start with
• Which cannulas vs needles work best in which areas
• Basic setup for a clean, sterile injection station
• Post-procedure protocols to reduce bruising, infection, and discomfort

I also talk about how to counsel patients before the procedure, manage expectations, and prepare your follow-up routine.

This is how you create professional, predictable outcomes that patients trust.

🧠 6. The Clinical Mindset You Need

Thread lifting is more than just mechanics — it requires a different way of thinking than filler or botulinum toxin.

You need to:

• Assess the face in motion and at rest
• Understand tissue resistance and tension vectors
• Plan your lift — not just react to skin sagging
• See the face in 3D, not 2D

In this free module, I give you a mental framework for treatment planning — so that when you get to the full hands-on training, you’re thinking like a thread professional from day one.

👨‍⚕️ Final Thoughts

Thread lifting is one of the most powerful tools we have for non-surgical rejuvenation.

But like any tool, it only works when it’s in the right hands, with the right mindset, the right patient, and the right plan.

So before you start learning about technique or buying products, make sure you have:

• A solid understanding of facial anatomy
• The ability to assess a good candidate
• Realistic expectations and a safe setup
• A plan for what you will and will not treat

In aesthetic medicine, confidence comes from clarity. And clarity comes from education.

嗨，醫生，

歡迎來到本次專注於會議 使用埋線提升進行V型臉塑形 — 這項技術已成為美容診所中最受歡迎的成果之一，特別是對於希望瘦臉及雕塑輪廓而不須手術的患者。

在本課中，我將指導您當患者的主要目標是打造臉部輪廓時，我如何進行埋線提升。 緊緻我們將介紹解剖策略、向量規劃、患者選擇和技術執行—讓您能夠創造出患者喜愛的精緻、平衡效果。

V形臉的意義是什麼？

當患者要求一個 V型臉他們真正想要的是：

• A 更銳利、更窄的下臉部
• 減少沉重感 下頜線
• 更光滑、更 明顯的下頜角
• 有時甚至更 尖下巴

這種美學在 年輕患者社交媒體驅動的潮流，以及重視更精緻、輪廓分明外觀的文化環境中

我們作為注射師的工作是要 將該需求轉化為策略性線雕提升計畫 提供提拉而非增大，避免過度拉扯或人為的效果。

誰適合進行V型線條拉提？

我尋找符合以下條件的患者：

• 有 輕度至中度下頜鬆弛或下臉沉重
• 仍然具有相對 良好的肌膚質量
• 在他們的 晚20多歲到早40多歲 即使年長患者只要有適當的計劃仍可受益
• 有 鈍化的下頜線 或因體重變化或老化導致軟組織下垂
• 正在尋求 更雕塑或更明確的下三分之一部位

患者的皮膚狀況可能導致額外的治療需求。 厚重的組織 可能需要減脂（例如：去氧膽酸或高強度聚焦超音波）以使線材顯示出明顯的提升效果。

V臉輪廓的埋線計畫

這是我的想法： 我們不只是拉緊皮膚 我們是 軟組織重新定位 改變下巴輪廓的重量 向上與向後.

我目標的關鍵埋線矢量區域：

1. 中面部到側臉頰 提升並固定顴脂墊
2. 下頜緣區域 向顳骨或髮際線的上升或斜向肌膚提拉
3. 下頜線輪廓 下頜線可選固定位點以平滑輪廓
4. 下臉頰體積控制 策略性埋線可以調整豐滿度而無需添加填充物

共同使用時，這些向量能夠創造一個新維度的美容醫學效果 緊緻和提升效果 在視覺上從臉部下三分之一向上縮小。

我應該使用哪種線材？

我通常使用：

• 倒鉤提升線 結構性提升和組織重定位
• 在某些情況下，我可能會結合與 平滑或螺旋線 精煉肌膚質感或促進膠原蛋白生成

我通常會選擇：

• PDO 或 PCL 線材配 齒輪或圓錐
• 足夠長以涵蓋整個提升向量的線材—通常 90毫米以上
• 在穩定區域錨定 像顳筋膜或側頭皮

保持一切 根據患者的臉型、年齡和組織密度量身定制.

技術與深度

植入深度對V型提升效果的乾淨呈現至關重要。我在[工作範疇]中… 皮下層 就在SMAS之上，因為那是我們獲得：

• 強力固定
• 安全滑動
• 可靠的組織提升

這是我的流程：

1. 我會在患者直立時標記矢量線條
2. 我使用利多卡因來麻醉入口點
3. 我以溫和且可控的力量植入線材，並注意對稱性
4. 在修剪髮尾前，我總是檢查皮膚的張力和活動度

在患者有輕微下頜垂墜的情況下，我通常會創建一個 雙向圖案一根線提升面頰，另一根線將下顎部位重新定位到耳前區域。

🔐 常見錯誤須避免

If your goal is a sculpted V型臉, here’s what 不 待辦事項：

• 避免將埋線放置過於表面 它會引起明顯的波紋或凹陷
• 不要拉得太用力 過度矯正會使自然輪廓變平且看起來不自然
• 不要忽視中臉區域 V臉修飾不僅僅從下顎線開始
• 不要單靠埋線來過度治療臉部輪廓厚重的情況 與其他療程結合使用

請提供更多背景 下頜線是終點, 不 the starting point. To lift the lower face, you often have to anchor from above.

📋 治療後建議我給患者的

• 避免做劇烈臉部運動5至7天
• 前幾晚仰臥入睡
• 兩週內避免按摩或臉部護理
• 腫脹和輕微的不對稱是正常現象，通常會在7至10天內消退。

我也提醒他們：

這不是拉皮手術，而是一種輕微拉提。它能精緻、塑型並緊緻，但效果較為細微，並且會在接下來幾週逐漸顯現。

👨‍⚕️ 最後的想法

Thread lifting for the V型臉 is 最受歡迎的療程之一 的確，當正確執行時，也是最令人滿意的之一。它為患者提供他們尋找的輪廓。 無厚重或浮腫感 有時候會搭配填充劑。

但要達到理想效果，您必須考慮到整體 平面、向量與比例 — 不 just lines on the face.

A clean, elegant V型臉 comes from structure, planning, and restraint — 不 pulling harder.

Hi doctor,

In this lesson, I’m walking you through non-surgical nose augmentation using threads — a highly requested and incredibly precise procedure that lets us reshape and refine the nose without surgery or dermal filler.

Thread lifting for the nose has grown in popularity because it provides structure, lift, and tip definition — all with minimal downtime and no volume overload. But just like with filler, this is a high-risk zone, and your technique and anatomical understanding must be exact.

Let’s walk through how I approach thread nose lifting, including patient selection, thread placement, depth, entry points, and what to avoid.

👃 What Can Thread Lifting Do for the Nose?

The goal of this treatment is not to create a totally new nose. It’s to improve shape, projection, and contour by using the mechanical lifting properties of threads.

Thread nose augmentation can help:

• Straighten the dorsal line
• Support and lift the nasal tip
• Improve radix definition
• Slightly narrow the nasal bridge (via tissue contraction)
• Provide subtle reshaping without adding filler bulk

It’s especially ideal for patients who want a refined profile without surgery or are not good candidates for filler-based nose correction.

✅ Who’s a Good Candidate?

Thread lifting for the nose is best suited for:

• Patients with a mildly droopy tip
• A slightly flat or low radix
• Soft tissue irregularities or post-surgical irregularities
• People who are afraid of filler-related vascular risk
• Younger patients wanting slight enhancement without adding volume

I do not recommend thread lifting for:

• Very short or stubby noses
• Patients with thick, oily skin or significant nasal fat
• Severe dorsal humps or wide bone structure
• Anyone expecting surgical-level change

The best results come when you target subtle changes and set clear expectations.

🧠 Understand the Anatomy — Stay Safe

The nose is one of the most vascularly sensitive areas on the face.

You must be aware of:

• The angular artery at the alar base
• The dorsal nasal artery along the bridge
• The columellar vessels and tip plexus
• Superficial vs. deep nasal layers (dermis, SMAS, cartilage, bone)

Thread lifting generally stays in the subdermal or supraperiosteal layer, depending on the goal.

This keeps us out of the danger zones, but only when done with proper depth and control.

🧰 What Threads Do I Use for the Nose?

For nose contouring, I always use:

• Mono or barbed PDO threads — depending on the area being treated
• Nose-specific threads — often stiffer, shorter, and more linear
• Specialty tip threads — for support and rotation

Typically, I’ll use:

• 2–4 threads in the dorsum (for structure)
• 1–2 threads vertically into the tip (for projection or lift)

These are placed using a sharp needle or small cannula, depending on entry point and personal preference.

✍️ Thread Placement Strategy

Here’s how I plan my thread lift:

1. Dorsal Contouring (Bridge Support)

• Insert thread(s) along the nasal bridge, from radix down to supratip
• Place directly on bone or cartilage
• This supports the nasal structure and straightens the profile

2. Tip Projection

• Insert a single barbed thread vertically from the nasal spine upward into the tip
• Helps with lifting and rotation
• Requires very careful depth control to avoid vessel trauma

3. Tip Refinement

• Optional horizontal thread can be placed in the supratip area
• Helps define the transition and prevent drooping over time

My entry point is usually at the nasal spine (base) or columella, depending on whether I’m working upward or across.

🔐 Injection Depth and Technique

This is where you must be precise:

• Dorsal threads → supraperiosteal plane (bone or cartilage)
• Tip threads → deep subdermal plane, avoiding vascular plexus
• Advance slowly with controlled depth
• Always insert under tension, with clean, firm vector control

Once placed, I gently compress and mold the threads to ensure alignment with the nasal bridge and prevent visible irregularities.

🛑 Mistakes to Avoid

Let me quickly share what I’ve seen go wrong — and what I always avoid:

• Inserting too superficially → causes visible ridges or thread exposure
• Placing threads too close to vessels → increases risk of vascular compromise
• Using too many threads → leads to stiffness or infection
• Trying to fix major nasal issues with threads alone → patients end up disappointed

You need to approach nose threads with minimalism and precision. It’s a sculpting technique — not a lifting competition.

📋 What I Tell Patients

After a nose thread lift, I give very clear post-care advice:

• No glasses or sunglasses for 48 hours
• Avoid facial massage or pressure for 1–2 weeks
• Expect minor swelling or tenderness, especially at the tip
• No strenuous activity or makeup for 24–48 hours

I also explain that final results settle over 2–4 weeks, as collagen forms and soft tissue adjusts around the threads.

👨‍⚕️ Final Thoughts

Thread lifting for the nose is an excellent alternative for the right patient — but it requires serious technical skill and clinical restraint.

You’re working in a highly visible, high-risk area. Your margin for error is small — but the results, when done right, are beautiful.

Think like a sculptor. Use the least amount of material to create the cleanest possible line.

This isn’t about force. It’s about finesse.

Let’s reshape noses safely, precisely, and with full clinical confidence.

Hi doctor,

In this lesson, I want to walk you through my approach to treating nasolabial folds using thread lifting. This is an area that so many patients come in concerned about — and while dermal fillers are often used, threads offer a different, very powerful solution when used correctly.

We’re going to look at when threads make sense, how I plan them, where I place them, and how to avoid common mistakes — all based on real clinical experience.

Let’s get into it.

🧠 Understanding the Cause of Nasolabial Folds

Before we treat, we need to understand what causes the fold. And here’s the key:

The nasolabial fold is not just a crease — it’s a result of tissue descent and volume loss over time.

It becomes more pronounced when:

• The malar fat pad shifts downward
• The ligamentous structure weakens
• The cheek loses volume and support
• There’s repeated muscle movement from expression

So while filler can help soften the appearance, we’re not always addressing the root cause. And this is where threads can shine — by lifting and repositioning the soft tissue that’s causing the fold in the first place.

✅ When Do I Use Threads for Nasolabial Folds?

I consider thread lifting for this area when:

• The patient has early to moderate fold depth
• There’s visible sagging in the mid or lower cheek
• The patient wants natural lift without adding volume
• You want to avoid heaviness from filler
• The skin quality is still good (no excessive laxity or fibrosis)

This technique works especially well for patients who already have midface volume but need better tissue positioning.

🧭 The Thread Vector Plan

Here’s how I think about this treatment:

I’m not placing threads into the fold.

Instead, I’m lifting tissue away from it.

The goal is to reposition the cheek and redistribute tissue tension so the fold softens naturally.

I typically use:

• A pair of threads per side, entering laterally
• Vectors directed upward and slightly posterior
• Anchored toward the temporal or preauricular region

This lifts the cheek fat pad and fascia, which then pulls tension off the nasolabial fold, improving contour without injecting into the line directly.

💉 What Threads Do I Use?

I use:

• Barbed threads (either bidirectional or unidirectional) for grip and tissue traction
• Threads long enough to cross the cheek from lateral entry toward the nasolabial region
• PDO or PCL material, depending on the patient’s desired longevity and collagen stimulation

I prefer threads with strong barbs that hold tissue during lift and integrate well over time.

✍️ Placement Technique

Here’s the general approach I take:

1. Mark the vector line while the patient is upright — usually from near the nasolabial fold diagonally upward toward the temporal area.
2. Use a 25G or 23G cannula for better control and reduced trauma.
3. Create a small entry point with a needle and insert the thread into the subcutaneous plane — deep enough for anchoring, but not too close to the dermis.
4. Advance the thread along your marked vector with gentle, steady pressure. Once it reaches the endpoint near the fold area, I retract slowly to create tension.
5. After placing 1–2 threads per side, I gently compress and mold the lifted tissue upward and slightly posterior, never toward the nose.

This gives that natural elevation to the cheek and midface, indirectly improving the fold without any bulk or stiffness.

📋 Post-Care Instructions

After thread placement, I advise:

• Sleep on the back for at least 3–5 nights
• Avoid extreme expressions (chewing, laughing hard) for a few days
• No face massage, dental work, or facial treatments for 2 weeks
• Mild bruising or tightness is normal and usually resolves in a few days

I always explain that results improve over 2–4 weeks, as collagen forms and the tissue settles.

🔐 Mistakes to Avoid

Let me highlight a few things to avoid when working around the nasolabial area:

• Don’t inject threads directly into the fold — it won’t lift, and it increases complication risk
• Don’t overtighten — it can cause pulling near the nose or asymmetry
• Don’t use threads too superficial — this can lead to rippling or visibility
• Don’t skip assessing the cheeks — if there’s no midface support, the lift won’t hold

Thread lifting should never replace good facial assessment. It should enhance it.

👨‍⚕️ Final Thoughts

Thread lifting for nasolabial folds is not about chasing lines — it’s about repositioning tissue in the right vector, at the right depth, using the right threads.

When you do it properly, you get a natural softening of the fold, improvement in midface shape, and a refreshed look without adding volume or weight to the face.

Always remember: the fold is a symptom. Lift the cause, not just the crease.

Let’s create natural, lifted results — not just filled ones — with technique that’s clear, safe, and effective.

Hi doctor,

In this lesson, we’re focusing on one of the most challenging yet rewarding areas to treat with thread lifting: the marionette lines — those vertical lines that run from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin.

Patients often feel these lines make them look sad, tired, or angry. And while many turn to fillers, there’s an art to correcting them with threads — especially when you want to lift, not just add volume.

Let’s go step-by-step through how I approach thread lifting for marionette lines — from anatomy and thread choice to placement and results.

🧠 Understanding the Marionette Line

The marionette line is caused by:

• Downward pull from the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscle
• Tissue descent from the midface and jowls
• Loss of skin elasticity and collagen
• Volume loss in the pre-jowl area

The deeper this groove becomes, the more shadow and heaviness the lower face shows.

Our goal with threads is not just to “fill in” the line — it’s to lighten the expression, reposition sagging tissue, and reduce that vertical fold by shifting weight back and upward.

✅ Who’s a Good Candidate?

Here’s when thread lifting works best for marionette lines:

• The patient has mild to moderate depth in the lines
• The lower face is showing early signs of ptosis, not advanced sagging
• There’s no major skin redundancy or thick, heavy jowls
• The patient wants natural lift rather than volumization
• Ideal for patients in their 30s to 50s, with decent skin tone

For older patients or those with deep folds, I may combine thread lifting with other treatments (like toxin or filler), but threads alone can offer excellent results if done right.

🧭 My Thread Plan for Marionette Lines

I typically use two key vector strategies here:

1. Lifting Vector from Jowl to Preauricular Area

This thread starts near the marionette line and runs diagonally upward and backward toward the ear. This vector helps lift the soft tissue that’s causing downward pull.

2. Vertical or Slightly Oblique Support Thread

In select cases, I’ll place a short thread directly in the marionette region — not to lift, but to stimulate collagen and tighten the area.

This is more of a support thread, not the main anchor.

The key is to lift the heaviness, not inject into the fold. This gives a lighter, more open lower face — without puffiness.

💉 What Threads Do I Use?

For most marionette cases, I choose:

• Barbed PDO threads – for strong lift and anchoring
• 60–90 mm length – depending on the facial size and lift distance
• 23G or 25G cannulas – for safety and smooth entry
• Sometimes monos or twist threads – as a secondary option for collagen in stubborn grooves

Barbed threads are my go-to for the main vector, while mono threads can enhance fine line texture and reinforce results over time.

✍️ Placement Technique

Here’s how I typically perform this procedure:

1. Mark the vector: From just lateral to the marionette line toward the preauricular area or lateral cheek. This line determines the lift.
2. Local anesthesia at the entry point: Usually placed near the jawline or slightly below the fold.
3. Create a clean entry with a needle, then insert the cannula into the subcutaneous layer, staying superficial to the SMAS.
4. Advance slowly along the planned vector, stopping short of the nasolabial fold area.
5. Once threads are in place, I retract slightly, compress the tissue upward, and cut the thread ends flush with the skin.

This creates a soft lifting effect, reduces the pull on the marionette line, and subtly restores the lower facial shape.

🛑 What to Avoid

Let me share a few critical points from experience:

• Don’t inject threads directly under the line — lifting works from outside-in, not under the crease
• Don’t place threads too superficial — visible ridges and irregularities can form
• Don’t overcorrect — it can pull the corner of the mouth unnaturally
• Don’t skip midface evaluation — often the heaviness comes from above, not just below

This is a sculpting procedure, not a patchwork fix.

📋 Post-Care Instructions

After the procedure, I recommend:

• Sleeping on the back for 3–5 nights
• Avoiding exaggerated facial expressions, especially frowning or puckering
• No dental work or facials for 2 weeks
• Mild tightness or tenderness is normal — usually resolves within a week

I always remind patients:

“The full lift continues to improve over 2 to 4 weeks as collagen builds around the threads.”

👨‍⚕️ Final Thoughts

Treating marionette lines with thread lifting is one of the most satisfying parts of facial rejuvenation — because when done well, it softens a heavy, tired expression and restores a more youthful, relaxed lower face.

But this isn’t about chasing folds with filler.

It’s about restoring structure, repositioning soft tissue, and working in harmony with facial dynamics.

Always lift from where the problem comes — not just where it shows up.

That’s the principle that leads to natural, lasting results.
