The answer to the question of at what age one should begin undergoing cosmetic treatments may vary from person to person. However, starting skin care and cosmetic treatments in one's 20s can help maintain skin health and beautiful contours for a long time.
One cosmetic treatment that deserves special attention is the thread lift; although it may seem too young to be in one's 20s, it is important to understand that early measures can have a significant impact as to the quality and ideal shape of the skin in the future. Here we will discuss in detail the benefits of a thread lift in your 20s, what you need to know before and after the procedure, examples of the procedure and its results, and precautions to take for the procedure.

Importance of Cosmetic Medicine in the 20s
Cosmetic medicine is often thought of as a means to improve sagging skin and wrinkles as we age. However, cosmetic medicine is not limited to that. The 20s in particular are the most effective time for early cosmetic medical intervention.
Skin in its 20s still retains its youthfulness and elasticity, but it is also the time when damage from external factors such as UV rays, stress, and dryness begins to accumulate. If such damage accumulates over a long period of time, it will appear as skin problems as we age in our 30s and 40s, causing wrinkles and sagging skin.
This is where the role of cosmetic medicine becomes important. Aesthetic medicine is an effective means of addressing skin problems that cannot be addressed by skin care alone and maintaining skin health. Furthermore, early cosmetic treatment can prevent skin aging and help maintain ideal skin conditions over the long term.
Find out why you need cosmetic medicine in your 20s.
The 20s is a period when skin metabolism is active and cell regeneration is strong. Therefore, cosmetic treatments during this period can maximize their effects.
For example, the thread lift procedure involves inserting self-absorbing threads into the skin to lift the skin and promote collagen production; because skin in its 20s has an active metabolism, it can maximize this collagen production-promoting effect and is very effective in maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
In addition, starting cosmetic treatment in one's 20s not only delays skin aging, but also effectively treats skin problems that have already appeared, such as fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars.
Skin Changes with Aging and the Need for Early Action
Skin undergoes various changes with age: in the 20s, skin metabolism begins to slowly decline and the effects of UV damage and lifestyle factors begin to accumulate on the epidermis. As this progresses into one's 30s and 40s, the production of collagen and elastin, which maintain skin firmness and elasticity, declines, causing wrinkles and sagging.
While these age-related skin changes are inevitable, the rate of progression depends largely on individual skin care and lifestyle habits. And by taking early action to address these changes, it is possible to delay skin aging and maintain younger looking skin for longer.
To achieve this, it is important to seek the help of cosmetic medicine in addition to routine skin care. Aesthetic medicine can reach deep into the skin, beyond the reach of skincare alone, to repair skin damage and keep it healthy. In particular, procedures such as thread lifts utilize the skin's regenerative abilities to lift the skin from the inside out and provide a natural lifting effect.
An early cosmetic medical approach can take preventative action to prepare the skin for changes as it ages. As a result, the skin can remain healthy and beautiful longer, allowing its beauty to carry over into later years. Early cosmetic treatments are the best investment you can make to maintain your beauty.
Benefits of Thread Lift in the 20s
A thread lift is a type of cosmetic treatment in which special threads are inserted under the skin and then pulled up to tighten the facial lines and recreate a youthful facial appearance. Although this technique is best known as a procedure for older skin, there are actually many benefits to undergoing this procedure even in one's 20s.
As mentioned above, it is also meant to be a preventive approach before sagging skin and wrinkles become noticeable, but after all, skin in its 20s still has an active metabolism and responds quickly to surgical stimulation, maximizing the effects of lifting and collagen production.
Skin metabolism slowly slows down in the late 20s and its effects begin to become more pronounced in the 30s. Thread lift can be said to be the most important factor in delaying this process, and is effective in prolonging the health and beauty of the skin.
Collagen and elastin are important proteins for skin elasticity and firmness, and when their production is stimulated, skin naturally regains its firmness and elasticity. As a result, facial lines are naturally tightened and youthful, healthy skin can be maintained for longer.
In addition, because the effects of a thread lift appear natural, the changes are not so obvious to others that it is not obvious that the patient has undergone surgery. This is a great advantage for people in their 20s who seek natural beauty.
What you need to know before getting a thread lift
Before undergoing a thread lift, you will be expected to understand and prepare for several important issues. First, although a thread lift is not a surgical procedure, it may require some downtime. It is important to take it easy for a few days before and after the surgery to allow time for rest and to help the skin recover.
In addition, daily skin care is essential to maintain the effects of the thread lift. It is important to continue to take care of your skin after surgery, as the lift effect may be lost prematurely if skin care is neglected.
In addition, all cosmetic procedures involve certain risks, and thread lifts are no exception. Some may experience temporary side effects such as swelling, redness, pain, or an unnatural tightening sensation after surgery. These usually resolve spontaneously in a few days to a few weeks, but if symptoms persist for a long time, a consultation should be scheduled as soon as possible.
Other precautions should be taken to minimize the risk of infection and to maintain good hygiene before and after surgery. In addition, it is important to understand that the results of thread lifts vary from person to person, and not everyone will achieve the same results.
Preparation before the thread lift procedure and aftercare after the procedure
Before undergoing a thread lift, it is recommended to avoid alcohol and smoking as much as possible and to get enough sleep. It is also advisable to remove makeup and have clean skin on the day of surgery.
Aftercare after surgery includes keeping the treated area clean and avoiding strong friction and pressure. After thread lift, it is also necessary to keep the skin adequately moisturized and to take daily care of the skin to protect it from ultraviolet rays. UV rays destroy collagen and cause skin aging, so do not neglect UV care.
In addition, it is recommended that patients refrain from drinking alcohol or engaging in strenuous exercise, including excessive drinking, for several days after the thread lift, as these activities may aggravate swelling and inflammation. In addition, although it is preferable to return to a normal lifestyle as soon as possible, you should avoid activities that put pressure on the treated area, especially immediately after the procedure, such as turning your face down or lying on your side.
Above all, after the procedure, you should always follow the aftercare instructions as given by your doctor, and if you see anything unusual or have any concerns, you should consult immediately. Proper aftercare and ongoing communication with your doctor are key to maintaining successful thread lift results.
Examples of thread lift procedures and results
Thread lift is a highly individualized procedure, and the details of the procedure depend on each patient's needs and skin condition. However, the common denominator is that special threads are inserted under the skin, and the threads lift the skin and underlying tissue to create a tightened facial line.
As examples of actual procedures, we would like to introduce our original thread lifts, the "Angel Lift" and the "Devil Lift".

The angel lift described above is a procedure that naturally raises the cheeks and shortens the midface to create a lovely facial line. In addition, the rounded facial line gives a stronger impression of a child's face, and the skin and face look and feel younger forever.

The Devil's Lift above is a procedure that firmly raises sagging skin and creates a beautiful V-line face line. The shapely contours give the impression of a model, aiming for a beautiful and cool look.
Looking at the before and after photos of our thread lift, Angel Lift and Devil Lift, the difference in facial lines and impressions is obvious; the entire face is naturally lifted and the facial lines are clearly tightened.
summary
The 20s is the perfect time to maintain the youth and elasticity of the skin and prepare it for the aging process. In addition to skin care, early cosmetic intervention is important for future skin health. Among them, thread lifts not only help maintain ideal facial contours, but also support skin regeneration from within by stimulating collagen production in the skin.
However, it is important to choose the right clinic, prepare and care for your skin before and after the procedure, and understand the potential risks. And since a thread lift can be performed in tandem with skin care to maximize its benefits, cosmetic treatments and skin care beginning in one's 20s are important investments in order to maintain beautiful skin and ideal contours for a long time to come.
