Dr. Hideaki Teramachi, Director of Seishin Beauty Clinic Osaka, Speaks at Thread Lift Symposium for Physicians, Sharing Latest Insights on Thread Lift Treatment.

Dr. Hideaki Teramachi, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon by the Japan Society of Aesthetic Surgery (JSAS) and director of Seishin Beauty Clinic Osaka, spoke at the "Anchor Thread Symposium 2026" focused on improving safety and technological development of thread lift (thread lift) treatment. This symposium is an academic event for physicians aimed at improving safety and technological development of thread lift treatment. Experienced doctors shared cases and treatment strategies regarding thread lifts, a highly注目 "non-incision sagging treatment" in the cosmetic medical field. About the Japan Thread Lifting Association The Japan Thread Lifting Association is an academic organization specializing in cosmetic medicine, established to improve safety and standardize techniques for thread lift treatment. It aims to foster continuous learning among doctors and develop an environment where patients can receive treatment with peace of mind. It addresses industry issues such as increasing complications due to rapid popularization and lack of anatomical knowledge and specialized skills. https://j-tla.com/ Sharing Knowledge for the Development of Thread Lift Treatment Thread lift is a lifting treatment that improves sagging of the jawline and cheeks by inserting special medical threads under the skin. It is chosen by many patients because it aims for a youthful impression with minimal downtime. On the other hand, it requires design and insertion techniques tailored to each patient's bone structure, subcutaneous tissue, and degree of sagging, and safety considerations are important. In the lecture session of this seminar, Dr. Hideaki Teramachi, director of Seishin Beauty Clinic Osaka, shared clinically relevant content from reconfirmation of anatomical knowledge to design, insertion techniques, and complication management, based on his extensive clinical experience with thread lift treatments, through case presentations and discussions. ■ Event Overview Date: June 7, 2026 (Sunday) 10:00-17:00 (scheduled) Venue: Bellasalle Yaesu 3F (Hall 1+2+3) Location: 3F Yaesu First Financial Building, 1-3-7 Yaesu, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103-0028 Chairman: Yoshiro Suzuki (Chairman, Japan Thread Lifting Association) Expected participants: 150 URL: https://j-tla.com/anchor-thread-symposium-2026/ Board-Certified Cosmetic Surgeon by JSAS Profile of Dr. Hideaki Teramachi Director of Seishin Beauty Clinic Osaka.

A thread lift is a treatment that inserts absorbable or non-absorbable medical threads under the skin to improve sagging and tighten the jawline. Compared to face lifts using a scalpel, it features shorter downtime and is performed to improve cheek sagging, jawline puffiness, and marionette lines. ■ Who is suited for thread lifts? ・Those concerned about sagging jawline ・Those reluctant to undergo incisional surgery ・Those who want to minimize downtime ・Those seeking natural lifting effects ・Those considering strategic anti-aging care with a future face lift in mind ■ Differences between thread lift and face lift Thread lifts have relatively short downtime and are suitable for mild to moderate sagging improvement. On the other hand, face lifts directly approach the skin and SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), so greater improvement in sagging can be expected. It is important to select the appropriate treatment according to the patient's age, degree of sagging, and preferences. Frequently Asked Questions about Thread Lifts Q1: Will my face become tight or unnatural after a thread lift? Rest assured. Unnatural tightness is caused by excessive pulling or wrong thread selection. At our clinic, we select the optimal thread from a variety of types according to your facial condition and adjust based on bone structure and fat distribution. Rather than pulling forcibly, we "reposition to the original position," achieving a natural finish that blends with expressions. Q2: I am concerned about pain during the procedure and swelling afterward. At our clinic, we use ultra-fine needles to reduce pain during injection and adopt "non-sharp tip cannulas" that are less likely to damage tissue. Additionally, laughing gas anesthesia (additional fee) or intravenous anesthesia (additional fee) can be chosen as desired. Swelling after the procedure usually subsides within a few days to a week, so please consult us even if you cannot take a long break. Q3: Does the effect differ depending on the type of thread lift? Yes. There are various types of thread lifts, and the effects vary depending on the thread structure, length, and anchoring strength. For example, some threads are suitable for improving jawline sagging, while others are designed to lift cheek volume or emphasize a slimming face effect. It is also possible to combine multiple types of threads for a more natural and three-dimensional lift. The important thing is not "which thread is superior" but selecting the appropriate thread according to the patient's bone structure, subcutaneous fat condition, and degree of sagging. Examination and treatment planning by an experienced doctor lead to highly satisfactory results. Q4: How long does the effect last? Is it necessary to repeat? Depending on the thread type, the lifting effect typically lasts about 1 to 1.5 years. In recent years, some patients receive thread lifts not as a "one-time surgery" but as "regular maintenance" to maintain ideal contour and skin quality. After the threads are absorbed, the base is strengthened by the collagen produced, so regular continuation can be chosen as one approach to future sagging. Also, "DENSITY (dense
