Program Lipo Lifting X (โปรแกรมฉีดไหม LipoX) is a thread treatment for the cheek and mid-face rather than an injectable solution. Short absorbable threads — the clinic's Lipo threads are 12 mm — are introduced through a fine needle across the cheek area, so the mid-face reads firmer and the jaw line more defined from the front and in photographs.

It is done in the clinic under topical numbing with local anaesthetic at the entry points, and needs no incision, no general anaesthetic and no overnight stay. It suits a soft mid-face contour rather than pronounced sagging: patients who want the lower face to look firmer but do not need a full lift.

Threads are absorbable, so the effect is not permanent — the physician assesses how long it is likely to hold for your anatomy at consultation, and often plans it alongside a lifting thread such as Program Onyx V-Shape.

Preparation and aftercare for Program Lipo Lifting X

Research-informed guidance for this treatment type. Your doctor’s written plan after assessment always takes priority.

Before your appointment

  • A combination Program needs one doctor-led sequence that considers every product, device, treatment depth, medicine, implant and prior procedure.
  • Ask which part of the plan determines the strictest preparation and recovery rule.

After treatment

  • Follow the combined written plan rather than mixing instructions from separate internet pages.
  • Use the strictest relevant restriction until the clinic confirms that part of recovery is complete.
  • Use the clinic's 1:1 follow-up path for any uncertainty.

What may be expected

  • Expected recovery is the combined profile of the treatments performed and must be written after the actual session.

Contact us promptly

  • Use the most urgent warning signs from every treatment in the plan and contact the clinic when symptoms do not match the written timeline.

1:1 follow-up

Before you leave, the team records your treatment, expected recovery, follow-up timing and direct contact path. A doctor reviews concerns when needed.

Common questions
Is Program Lipo Lifting X an injection that dissolves fat?+
No — and this is worth being clear about, because the name causes confusion. Lipo Lifting X is a thread programme: fine absorbable threads placed through a needle in the cheek and mid-face. It is not a fat-dissolving injection and contains no fat-dissolving drug. The clinic records it under ฉีดไหม (threads), not under injectables.
How is it different from a thread lift such as Program Onyx V-Shape?+
They solve different problems. A lifting thread repositions tissue that has descended, so it addresses sagging. Program Lipo Lifting X is aimed at width — making a broad cheek and mid-face read narrower. Patients whose concern is both are often planned for the two together in one appointment; the physician decides which does the work at your assessment.
How long does it last?+
It is not permanent. The threads are absorbable and break down over time, and how long the contour holds varies with anatomy, tissue thickness and weight change. Rather than quote a fixed figure, the physician gives you a realistic range for your face at consultation and plans when to review it.
Does it hurt, and how soon can I go out?+
Topical numbing cream is applied first and local anaesthetic is used at the entry points, so the placement itself is tolerable for most people. Expect mild swelling or bruising for a few days. Most patients return to their normal routine the next day, though it is sensible not to book it immediately before an event.
What does it cost?+
From ฿17,500. The total depends on how many threads your face needs and whether it is combined with other treatments in the same appointment, so the physician confirms the price at consultation before anything is booked. Ask us on LINE @waleerat for a current estimate.
What happens during a Program Lipo Lifting X session?+
Assessment — The physician examines the cheek and mid-face, checks whether width or laxity is the real issue, and plans thread placement. Numbing — Topical cream, then local anaesthetic at the entry points. Thread placement — Fine absorbable threads are placed through a needle across the planned area of the cheek. Review and aftercare — Entry points are checked, aftercare explained, and a follow-up arranged once swelling has settled. A physician assesses your face first and sets the plan; what is done and where follows from that assessment.
2 more questions+
Who is a good candidate for Program Lipo Lifting X?+
Generally considered for: A wide-looking cheek or mid-face rather than sagging skin · Wanting a narrower face line while avoiding an operation · Adding mid-face firming to a thread-lift or contouring plan · Anyone who prefers an absorbable option to a permanent implant. Whether it suits you is decided by a physician at assessment, and there are people for whom it is not advised.
How many sessions before I see results?+
The face line looks narrower as swelling settles over the first weeks. Threads are absorbable, so the result is not permanent and is refreshed when needed; how long it holds depends on anatomy, tissue thickness and weight change, and the physician gives you a realistic expectation at consultation. Individual results vary.
