Shopping Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Shopping lifts are expected to help firm sagging skin and improve skin firmness and elasticity.

By inserting ultra-fine threads under the skin, this treatment stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to achieve a natural lift.

This treatment is ideal for those concerned about sagging skin, those who want to naturally tighten their jawline, and those who want to improve their skin's firmness and elasticity.

This treatment is a popular choice for those who want to keep downtime to a minimum.

A shopping lift is a procedure that tightens the skin using very fine, short threads, while a thread lift is a procedure that physically lifts sagging skin using long threads with barbs.

Shopping lifts are ideal for those who want to focus on skin firmness and natural tightening, while thread lifts are best for those seeking a more pronounced lifting effect.

The number of threads required varies depending on the treatment area, the degree of sagging, and the desired results.

For example, about 20 threads may be used for nasolabial folds, the area between the eyebrows, and marionette lines. At YAYOI CLINIC, we determine the number of threads and their insertion points based on a consultation.
