The idea for this article came to me after meeting a woman named Margaret. She wasn’t exactly young—more maturely elegant—but what struck me was the mischievous sparkle in her eyes and her astonishingly firm, fresh skin. Overall, she radiated such a vibrant impression that I couldn’t help but admire her. When I learned her actual age, however, I was stunned. The woman, whom I had guessed to be in her mid-30s had entered her sixth decade.
Naturally, I had only one question: how? How does she maintain such a youthful appearance? Margaret, without hesitation, credited her age-defying looks to the signature thread-lifting technique of Olena Zeitinidis, a Ukrainian aesthetic specialist living in Miami.
The Secret Behind Angles and Threads
Curiosity compelled me to find this miraculous specialist and ask her a few questions.
First, I wanted to know what made her technique unique. Thread lifting originated in South Korea, so what was distinctive about her method? Olena Zeitinidis’ innovation lies in her personalized approach: she creates custom thread insertion schemes tailored to each patient’s needs.
“The lines of a person’s skin are as unique as fingerprints. To ensure the procedure is painless, it’s essential first to determine the correct vectors for inserting the guiding needle and threading the reinforcement material. A mistake with the vectors can lead to unbearable pain during the session and severe swelling and discomfort afterward,” Zeitinidis explained.
This revelation clarified why thread-lifting results aren’t perfect for everyone. I followed up with another question: do the threads themselves matter?
“Of course! I only use state-of-the-art threads sourced from South Korea. They undergo all levels of safety certification and are FDA-approved. My threads are made from biocompatible materials with the human body, self-dissolving, and double-degradation biodegradable. This means that a dense collagen framework forms under the skin during the natural dissolution of the threads within 4-6 months, maintaining tissue support for an extended period,” Olena Zeitinidis elaborated.
The Legacy of a Name
Having uncovered the secrets behind this unique thread-lifting procedure, I wanted to learn more about the woman behind it: Olena Zeitinidis.
As it turns out, she is a highly acclaimed expert in aesthetic medicine across Europe and Eurasia, mainly in facial and body correction. In 2015, she established the Beauty Medical Clinic in Kyiv, which also houses a dedicated educational center. Here, practicing aestheticians come to advance their skills under the guidance of leading experts in cosmetology.
Olena Zeitinidis first presented her innovative method in her clinic, but soon, she was invited to lecture across Europe and Asia. French and Swiss wellness clinics eagerly sought her out as an instructor, while South Korea—the birthplace of thread lifting—continues to admire her invention.
She has also gained the respect of professionals in the UAE, where European beauty methods are often met with skepticism. For her groundbreaking contributions to aesthetic medicine, Olena Zeitinidis has been honored with Ukraine’s Order of Honor and the title of “Great Ukrainian”.
In 2022, she relocated to the United States, where she continued her research while perfecting existing techniques. In addition to her practice, she enthusiastically shares her knowledge with fellow cosmetologists and has received several promising investment offers to open a U.S. branch of Beauty Medical.
The Art of Transformation
I wish this remarkable woman immense success because I’ve seen the results of her work firsthand. Or rather, her art. It seems fair to call Olena Zeitinidis’ work a form of artistry—because how her patients look genuinely feels like magic.
