Natural facial line improvement

Jamber Lifting is a thread lifting procedure that naturally refines facial contours. With minimal downtime (swelling, pain), fast recovery, and natural lifting effects.

Especially effective for those concerned about nasolabial folds or cheek hollowing. Using spring-shaped threads for a scaffold effect that naturally fills volume.

Assessment

What the thread does — fills and supports

The single word 'lifting' covers methods of quite different natures — tightening tissue, pulling it up, and filling a hollow to support it. The spring thread used in Jamber is the last of the three.

Energy devices — tightening

XERF warms the dermis broadly with radiofrequency heat, and LinearZ links focused ultrasound heat in lines down to the SMAS fascia. Neither inserts a thread — both set the line by tightening tissue.

Cog threads — pulling up

Barbs on the thread surface grip tissue and pull it upward (traction). This family is used when moving sagging tissue upward is itself the goal, and it works differently from the spring thread. Where pulling is clearly the better fit — particularly when deep cheek sagging stands out — we sometimes recommend this direction on a limited basis in consultation.

Spring thread — how this treatment works

A 35.3cm PDO thread is compressed into a 3.0cm spring and placed in the subcutaneous layer. The volume the coil occupies mildly fills hollows at the nasolabial fold and the side of the cheek, and that volume acts as a scaffold supporting the skin, so a subtle lift follows. It is nonetheless a different concept from a lift that grips tissue with barbs and moves it upward.

This is a difference of role, not of rank. Filling a hollow while gently supporting it is what the spring thread does, tightening tissue overall is what energy devices do, and if moving tissue upward is the goal, cog threads are the direction. More than one is sometimes needed, so we first sort out in consultation which concern predominates before planning, and how much you feel it varies between people.

Mechanism

How Jamber Lifting works

The special spring-shaped thread used in Jamber — it acts as a scaffold inside the tissue, supporting volume.

Spring-shaped threads — scaffold effect

Jamber Lifting uses special spring-shaped threads to provide a scaffold effect, filling volume in nasolabial fold and cheek hollowing areas.

These threads act as a support within the skin tissue, holding sagging skin from beneath and lifting it naturally. PDO also has a property that helps collagen form, but this plays a supporting role — the effect rests mainly on the volume and support the settled thread provides.

Dual anesthesia system

COCO Clinic uses a dual anesthesia system combining topical and local anesthesia.

This minimizes pain during the procedure and provides a comfortable treatment experience.

Minimal downtime

Jamber Lifting is performed without incision — only a needle entry point is made for the cannula. Swelling is minimal, so return to daily life is quick.

In most cases, light activities are possible from the day of treatment, with full return to daily life within 2-3 days.

Key effects

1

Nasolabial fold improvement

Naturally soften deepened nasolabial folds

2

Cheek volume improvement

Add natural volume to hollow cheeks

3

Facial line refinement

Naturally contour the overall facial outline

Never overdone — naturally filling only what was hollow, as if it had always been there.

Process

How a session goes

  1. 1

    Consultation and design

    We look at facial structure and where volume has been lost to decide where and how many threads. We generally suggest 4-8 threads per area — typically 4-6 for the nasolabial fold, 2-4 for the front of the cheek, and 4-8 for the side of the cheek. When several areas are treated together the thread counts are summed for pricing. If tightening or another approach should come first in your case, we say so.

  2. 2

    Anesthesia

    Local anesthesia is always used. The anesthetic injection itself is uncomfortable, so if you are sensitive to pain we apply numbing cream first to reduce that too before beginning.

  3. 3

    Placing the spring thread

    The thread comes preloaded in a cannula and settles into place as the cannula is advanced. There is no incision — only a needle entry point for the cannula. The session takes about 20-30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Recovery and follow-up

    Most people can do light activity from the day of treatment and return to normal within 2-3 days. Bruising is relatively uncommon, but a needle does go in, so it can happen — if you have an important event, we suggest coming in 2-4 weeks beforehand. The effect lasts about 6-8 months, by which time most of the PDO has been absorbed. If you wish to repeat, the interval is 3-12 months, timed to what you need.

Recommended for

  • Those with deep nasolabial folds
  • Those with hollow cheeks lacking volume
  • Those wanting to naturally refine facial lines
  • Those seeking lifting with minimal downtime
  • Those wanting natural improvement without surgery

Aftercare & precautions

  • Avoid opening your mouth wide for 2-4 weeks after treatment
  • Avoid hard or chewy foods for 2 weeks
  • Do not rub or massage the treated area vigorously
  • Avoid high-temperature environments such as saunas for 1 week
  • Refrain from alcohol and smoking for 1 week as they may delay recovery

Frequently asked questions

Jamber Lifting is a thread lifting procedure using special spring-shaped threads. Its scaffold effect adds volume to nasolabial folds and cheek hollows, supporting sagging skin. PDO also has a property that helps collagen form, but this plays a supporting role — the effect rests mainly on the volume and support the thread provides.

It is suitable for deepened nasolabial folds, cheek hollowing or volume loss, those who want to refine the facial line naturally, and those who want lifting with little downtime.

The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes, and pain is managed with dual anesthesia combining topical and local anesthesia. There is no incision — only a needle entry point for the cannula — so downtime is minimal and most people return to daily life within 2-3 days.

At COCO Clinic it is ₩390,000 for 4 threads and ₩750,000 for 8 threads. The cost is decided after consultation depending on the area and number of threads.

For 2-4 weeks after treatment, avoid opening the mouth wide and hard or chewy foods, and do not rub or massage the treated area vigorously. Refrain from high-heat environments such as saunas, and from alcohol and smoking, for one week.

Device treatments use heat or ultrasound to tighten tissue and set the line, while the spring thread used in Jamber goes under the skin to fill a hollow and support it from there. It is less a matter of which is better than of different roles. The two are sometimes planned together, so we sort out in consultation which concern predominates.

Compressing a 35.3cm thread into a 3.0cm spring gives the coil volume under the skin. That volume fills the hollow and at the same time acts as a scaffold supporting the tissue, so a subtle lift follows — that is the point of the spring shape. It works differently from cog threads, which grip tissue with barbs and move it upward, the support is on the mild side, and how much you feel it varies between people.

The effect lasts about 6-8 months, by which time most of the PDO has been absorbed. PDO does have a property that promotes collagen renewal, but we do not regard the residual effect remaining after the thread is absorbed as pronounced. If you wish to maintain the result you can repeat at 3-12 month intervals, with the timing decided in consultation to suit your needs.

Bruising, swelling, and a pulling sensation can appear right after the procedure and usually settle over a few days. Early on, the spots where the threads sit may be palpable or the surface may feel slightly uneven, which mostly eases as the threads settle in (individual variation). In rare cases the insertion site can become infected, so contact the clinic if pain or swelling worsens or persists.

If there is inflammation or infection at the treatment site, we wait until it settles, and we do not recommend the procedure during pregnancy. If you take antiplatelet or anticoagulant medication, bruising can be heavier, so let us know at the consultation. If you plan a heat-based device treatment such as radiofrequency or ultrasound on the same area afterwards, we recommend an interval of at least 4 weeks, as heat can break the threads down faster.

Pairs well with

XERF Lifting

Where Jamber places threads under the skin to fill a hollow, XERF warms the dermis broadly with radiofrequency to tighten collagen — the two are sometimes planned together, and the combination is decided in consultation.
