Dooth thread lifting is a non-incisional facial lifting procedure offered at Re:berry in which absorbable threads are placed under the skin to reposition sagging tissue and support collagen. At Re:berry Hongdae, it is performed under local anesthesia, with swelling typically settling within about 1–2 weeks. Thread choice depends on diagnosis. Results vary by individual.

How does a Dooth thread lift work?
Like other thread lifts, the Dooth thread lift uses threads with small barbs or cogs that grip the tissue under the skin. Once placed along planned lines, the threads are gently tensioned to lift sagging tissue. Over the following months, the absorbable material dissolves and the body forms collagen around the thread paths, which may help maintain firmness.
Who is it suitable for?
- Adults with mild to moderate sagging of the cheeks, jowls or jawline
- People who want a visible lift without surgical incisions
- Those who have tried energy-based lifting and want more mechanical support
It is usually not recommended during pregnancy, with active infection in the area, with certain bleeding disorders, or for very heavy or very loose skin, where surgery may be more effective.
What is recovery like?
Swelling, tightness and tenderness, particularly when chewing or opening the mouth wide, are common for several days. Bruising at entry points may occur. Most people return to light activities quickly but avoid facial massage, wide mouth opening, dental work, saunas and intense exercise for a few weeks. See aftercare after thread lifting.
How does Dooth compare with Mint threads?
Re:berry offers both Dooth and Mint thread lifts. The choice depends on tissue thickness, how much support is needed and the direction of lift. The doctor explains which thread type, number and placement suit your face. Our Dooth vs Mint comparison covers the decision criteria.
Risks and longevity
Risks include asymmetry, dimpling, visible or palpable threads, infection and prolonged discomfort. Thread lift results are commonly cited as lasting about 1–2 years, varying with age and skin quality. Pricing depends on the number and type of threads, and is confirmed in writing at consultation.
How do I know if threads are right for me?
A consultation at Re:berry Hongdae looks at skin thickness, the degree of sagging and your schedule. Sometimes energy-based lifting or a combination is suggested instead. Book via our Booking page to discuss options.

Related questions
Is a Dooth thread lift surgery?
No. A Dooth thread lift is a non-incisional procedure performed under local anesthesia, without the cuts and stitches of a surgical facelift. However, it is still a medical procedure with risks, and it requires careful diagnosis, sterile technique and aftercare.
How long does a Dooth thread lift last?
Thread lift results are commonly cited as lasting around 1–2 years. Longevity depends on age, skin thickness, lifestyle and how much tissue was lifted. Some people maintain results with energy-based lifting such as Ultherapy Prime or Thermage FLX. Results vary by individual.
Can I combine a Dooth thread lift with other treatments?
Yes, combinations are common, but timing matters. Energy-based lifting, boosters or filler may be planned before or several weeks after threads. The doctor designs the sequence to avoid stacking swelling or interfering with thread placement. Mention any planned treatments at consultation so the timing can be set safely.
