Detailed guide
What to know before choosing treatment.
How thread lifting differs from energy lifting
Ultherapy Prime, Thermage FLX, XERF and Shurink use energy-based mechanisms, while thread lifting uses inserted threads to provide mechanical support. Because the mechanisms are different, the treatments should not be compared only by price.
Threads may be considered when directional repositioning is a stronger goal, while energy-based treatments may be more suitable when general tightening is the main concern.
Mint Thread pricing
Newline lists Mint Thread at ₩120,000 per thread. The total price therefore depends on the number of threads used.
Patients should ask how many threads are recommended, where they will be placed and whether the quoted amount includes all related treatment fees.
EnCog and Scaffold pricing
EnCog/Scaffold are listed at ₩80,000 per thread. The source groups these together, so the page does not invent a difference in indications without additional verification.
Ask the clinic which thread type is being proposed and why.
Swelling and travel planning
Thread lifting can create swelling, bruising, tenderness or temporary asymmetry while tissues settle. This makes travel timing more important than with some non-invasive lifting devices.
International patients should tell Newline about flight dates, important events and any prior facial threads or surgery.
When thread lifting may not be the first choice
If the main concern is mild skin laxity, an energy device may be considered before threads. If fullness or double-chin fat is dominant, ONDA or contouring treatments may be more relevant.
The best treatment depends on the cause of the concern rather than a desire to choose the most dramatic-sounding procedure.

International patient checklist
Five details to confirm before the appointment
Before treatment, confirm the exact treatment name, product or device, dose or shot count, treatment area, final VAT-inclusive price and expected visible recovery. These details make clinic comparisons more meaningful than comparing a headline price alone.
If you have received a related treatment before, share the approximate date, brand or device name if known, and whether you were satisfied with the result. Previous treatment can affect the next plan.
For short trips, give the clinic your arrival and departure dates. If you have an important event, photo shoot, business meeting or flight, mention that before the procedure is selected.
Keep a copy of the treatment details after the appointment. Knowing the exact product, dose, treatment area and date is useful for future care in Korea or abroad.
Additional planning notes
Details that improve treatment decisions.
Thread count is not a quality score
Using more threads does not automatically mean a better result. The number, direction and placement should match the anatomy and intended vector. A per-thread price is useful for transparency, but the total plan should still be explained clinically.
Threads after previous procedures
Tell Newline about prior thread lifts, facelift surgery, filler and energy lifting. Previous procedures can affect tissue planes and treatment planning. International patients should also keep a record of the thread type and date for future care.

Physician-led planning
Choose treatment by the concern, not by the menu name alone.
Treatment selection should follow anatomy, skin condition, prior treatment history and the patient's priorities.
