Thread Lift
Thread lifting uses medical threads that dissolve naturally in the body to lift sagging skin and restore volume and elasticity.
DetailsNon-Surgical Nose Thread Lift
Dissolvable threads are inserted into the nasal bridge and tip to refine the nose line without incisions. The threads act as internal support, raising the bridge and lifting the tip, then absorb naturally into the body over time.

Results after Boost Hiko
Boost Hiko is a non-incisional nose treatment that places dissolvable PDO threads under the skin to raise the bridge and tip. The medical thread holds the tissue in place to lift the nose, and as it dissolves, collagen forms to help maintain shape and firmness.
How it helps
Low nose bridge or tip
Raises the bridge and lifts the tip to refine the nose line.
The principle, in plain words
How does Boost Hiko work?
A thin dissolvable thread is placed in your nose to hold the bridge and tip up. Your skin builds collagen around it, and the thread then absorbs.
The inserted thread acts like a post, supporting and raising the nasal bridge and tip. The micro-injury created during insertion activates fibroblasts and boosts collagen production, and the new collagen surrounds the thread, adding support to the nose. The thread itself dissolves and absorbs naturally into the body over time.
