At Lim Ee Seok Theme Dermatology Clinic, we use special medical-grade PDO, PCL, and PLLA threads. These specialized threads are designed to be broken down and absorbed by the body. We ensure thorough sterilization of all threads and instruments used during the procedure.

◇ Aftercare Instructions

• You can wash your face on the day of surgery.
• Please keep the healing tape to the treated area for about 5 days.
• Stop taking aspirin, multivitamins, vitamin E, and omega-3 1-2 weeks before surgery.
• If there is a wound inside the hairline, apply antibiotic ointment.
• The adhesive tape helps the skin heal and regenerate.
• It is normal for the adhesive tape to swell and turn white
• If the adhesive tape swells completely and the regenerative fluid starts to leak out, do not wipe the liquid. Immediately replace it with a new adhesive tape over the treated area.
• If you forcibly remove the adhesive tape, nearby tissue may come off as well, which can lead to scarring.
• If the adhesive tape does not swell white after 5 days, remove it.
(If you need more, you can purchase it at a pharmacy.)
