PangPang Doctor’s Story

An honest confession about thread lifting from Dr. Cho Min-young, the director of ‘PangPang Clinic’, a medical institution specializing in thread lifting

This procedure requires delicate technique

” Different treatments for different people? It’s not in the textbook. “

Simple theories and principles can be found in books, but the reality of thread lifting is not that simple.

The causes of wrinkles vary from person to person, as well as the degree of sagging, bone structure, and facial expression habits, and so the necessary type of thread, point of insertion, and direction are all different. This is why there is no one-size-fits-all thread lifting procedure.

Our thread lifting results are determined by the vast amount of experience and high level of skill accumulated through numerous cases.

This is why PangPang Clinic focuses solely on thread lifting, and even began providing training in the technique to practicing doctors.

“Even studying thread lifting alone, 24 hours a day is not enough.”

Maybe I seem stubborn (to only study thread lifting), but there is no shortcut to mastering technique. Even focusing solely on thread lifting, 24 hours a day still feels insufficient.

The core of thread lifting know-how is built by focusing on only thread lifting and accumulating numerous cases.

This is the clear reason why Pangpang Clinic refuses factory-style procedures and focuses exclusively on thread lifting.

The difference created by this focus is what draws a clear line between conventional thread lifting and thread lifting that has never been seen before. To show you exactly this, PangPang Clinic was born.

Truly unprecedented thread lifting;
PangPang Clinic is here to bring firmness and vitality to your radiant life.
