Facial Thread Lift in Ho Chi Minh City: 8 Facilities with an Operating Licence — Comparison Table to Check for Yourself

If you are looking for a place to get a facial thread lift in Ho Chi Minh City, the short answer is this. Choose a facility with an operating licence (GPHĐ) whose scope covers aesthetics or aesthetic surgery. The person who examines you and inserts the threads should be a doctor with a practising certificate (CCHN). The address you visit should match the address on the licence. You can check all three yourself on the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health lookup portal before booking.

This article lists 8 facilities in Ho Chi Minh City. Each has a facial thread lift service page on its official website and publishes its operating licence number on that same website. Each number has been checked against the address and facility type on the Department of Health portal. The article was written by BonBoz Clinic, and BonBoz is one of the 8 facilities. The order of the list is not a ranking. BonBoz, the author, is listed first. Next comes the facility in the same former District 3 area, so you can compare by area, followed by the other facilities.

The specific address to check against the criteria above: BonBoz Clinic, 66–68 Võ Văn Tần, Xuân Hòa Ward (formerly District 3), Ho Chi Minh City. The aesthetic licence is issued in the name "Phòng khám chuyên khoa Thẩm mỹ thuộc Địa điểm kinh doanh số 1 — Công ty Cổ phần Thương mại Dịch vụ 4B", number 10036/HCM-GPHĐ. Service information: Thread lift & Mini facelift at BonBoz.

Why should choosing a thread lift provider start with the licence, not with advertising?

A thread lift is a procedure in which threads are placed under the skin to lift tissue that has sagged. BonBoz's Thread lift & Mini facelift page states two things readers should know in advance. If the skin has sagged a lot, a thread lift will struggle to deliver a clear change. If the sagging is only mild, major intervention is excessive. So the doctor should examine you first and only then tell you which option suits you, even when the answer is that you do not need to do anything yet. A thread lift is an invasive procedure, so it should be done at a facility whose licence covers aesthetics, by a doctor with a practising certificate who performs it personally. BonBoz's service page also states plainly that the procedure carries risks. Depending on the option, you may experience infection, prolonged swelling and bruising, asymmetry, or results that fall short of expectations. For thread lifts specifically, thread-related problems such as visible or migrated threads can also occur.

So the question "where is a trustworthy place for a thread lift" can be answered in part with facts rather than impressions. Does the facility have a licence number? Can that number be looked up? Does the address you find match the place you are about to visit? Is the facility type on the licence aesthetics? And what is the name and practising certificate number of the person who will treat you? The rest, such as how the doctor assesses the degree of sagging and which type of thread to choose, you can judge after you have ruled out every place that fails this fact check.

For a thread lift, this fact check is especially worthwhile because the threads stay under the skin for some time. If anything unusual appears after the procedure, you need to return to the same place that did it so the doctor can manage it. Ten minutes of checking before the first consultation is far cheaper than discovering a problem after the procedure.

Three steps to check a thread lift facility yourself before booking

Step 1 — Look up the operating licence number and facility type on the Department of Health portal

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health has a medical and pharmaceutical practice lookup portal at tracuu.medinet.org.vn. In the *Cơ sở KCB* section, choose "Tìm khớp tất cả các cụm từ (Phân biệt dấu)". The default mode does not show records of facilities that have ceased operating. Then type the facility name or licence number into the box "Nhập tên cơ sở hoặc GPHĐ…" and press Enter. The result shows the facility name on the licence, the issue date and the address, usually with both the new and the old ward name. Facilities licensed by the Department have numbers in the form `xxxxx/HCM-GPHĐ`. Hospitals have licences issued by the Ministry of Health, with numbers in the form `xxx/BYT-GPHĐ`, and the Department's portal can also display many numbers of this type.

For a thread lift, the facility type is what you must look at most carefully. The facility name on the portal usually includes the type: "Phòng khám chuyên khoa Thẩm mỹ", "Bệnh viện Thẩm mỹ", "Bệnh viện Phẫu thuật Thẩm mỹ"… A licence that only says "Phòng khám chuyên khoa Da liễu" is a different type. If the facility holds several licences, ask which licence applies to your thread lift procedure.

Step 2 — Check the address

The address on the licence must match the address you are going to. Each medical branch needs a licence for that exact address. If a website lists several locations but publishes only one licence number, ask before booking. In this article there are two cases where the ward name on the website differs from the Department of Health portal. The table below follows the portal and states what the website says. After the 2025 administrative unit reorganisation, many websites use the new ward names while some still use the old district names, so when searching, try both.

Step 3 — Ask for the name and practising certificate number of the doctor who will treat you personally

The person who advises you, the person who examines you and the person who inserts the threads may be different people. Ask: *which doctor will examine me and perform the procedure personally, what is their practising certificate number, and what trade name and country of manufacture are the threads that will be used for me?* The practising certificate number can be looked up in the *GPHN KCB* section of the same Department of Health portal. A transparent facility will answer right away.

Comparison table of 8 facial thread lift facilities in Ho Chi Minh City that publish their licences

The licence numbers below were taken from each facility's official website on 02/11/2026. They were then checked on the same day on the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health lookup portal. The address and facility type columns follow the Department of Health portal. This article records only what each facility publishes and what the portal displays. It does not assess skill, rank facilities or compare results. Before booking, you should still look the numbers up again, because licences can change.

Notes on reading the table: the "Operating licence number" column gives the number and facility type as displayed by the Department of Health portal. "Licence type" is the way the portal classifies the facility: Aesthetic Specialty Clinic, aesthetic hospital, or aesthetic surgery and maxillofacial–dental hospital. It is therefore not the facility name, which is in the "Facility" column. Where the website says something different, this is noted alongside. Where a facility publishes several numbers or has several branches, you need to match the exact number and facility type to the exact address you are visiting. Service names are kept as each facility calls them. They are only an excerpt, not the full service catalogue.

List of 8 licensed facial thread lift facilities in Ho Chi Minh City

The order below is only the order of listing. Each entry records the address, licence number and thread lift service that the facility itself publishes on its website. It also gives the result of the check on the Department of Health portal (lookup date: 02/11/2026).

1. BonBoz Clinic — Phòng khám Da liễu và Thẩm mỹ

Address: 66–68 Võ Văn Tần, Xuân Hòa Ward (formerly District 3), Ho Chi Minh City. The aesthetic licence is issued in the name "Phòng khám chuyên khoa Thẩm mỹ thuộc Địa điểm kinh doanh số 1 — Công ty Cổ phần Thương mại Dịch vụ 4B", number 10036/HCM-GPHĐ. It was issued by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health and can be found on the Department of Health portal at this exact address. In exact-search mode, number 10036/HCM-GPHĐ also shows an older record that has ceased operating at 21–23 Đồng Nai (formerly District 10), the clinic's previous address. A photo of the licence is on the Operating licence page.

The biological thread lift and Mini Facelift are examined and performed personally by Dr. Nguyễn Xuân Vũ, MSc, Specialist Level II physician. His credentials are an MSc in Medicine and Pharmacy and resident physician training with Specialist Level I in Surgery at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy (2014–2017). He also holds Specialist Level I in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (Phạm Ngọc Thạch University of Medicine), Specialist Level II in Health Management (University of Public Health) and a certificate in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (2017). His practising certificate number is 007827/ĐL-CCHN, issued by the Đắk Lắk Province Department of Health on 04/12/2017.

According to the Thread lift & Mini facelift page, the doctor first assesses the degree of sagging and tissue quality. He then tells you clearly whether you suit a thread lift or a smaller-scale surgery, or whether nothing needs to be done yet. The procedure is performed in the clinic's procedure room, with follow-up visits scheduled. The doctor quotes the cost after the examination, before you decide. Published opening hours: Monday – Sunday, 08:00–20:00.

2. Pensilia Nguyễn Đình Chiểu

The Ho Chi Minh City facility published by the website is Pensilia Nguyễn Đình Chiểu, 411/2–413–415 Nguyễn Đình Chiểu, Bàn Cờ Ward. The footer lists for this facility: "Khoa Thẩm mỹ: Giấy phép hoạt động số 05026/HCM-GPHĐ" and "Khoa Da liễu: Giấy phép hoạt động số 09422/HCM-GPHĐ". On the Department of Health portal, number 05026 is "Phòng khám chuyên khoa Thẩm mỹ – Pensilia Beauty Clinic", at the address above. This is the licence with an aesthetic scope that you need to check for a thread lift.

The website also publishes Biên Hòa and Vũng Tàu facilities. However, the footer lists only the "Khoa Da liễu" licence for these two places. If you want a thread lift there, ask about the aesthetic licence first. The "Căng chỉ thẩm mỹ" page describes absorbable biological threads in PDO/PLACL form, placed under the skin with a blunt-tip needle. It also describes the reactions commonly seen after the procedure, such as swelling, redness and mild pain lasting about 7–10 days.

3. Bệnh viện Thẩm mỹ Kangnam Sài Gòn

The website footer lists the legal entity "Công ty TNHH Bệnh viện Thẩm mỹ Kangnam Sài Gòn", address 666 Cách Mạng Tháng Tám, Tân Sơn Nhất Ward, "Giấy phép hoạt động khám bệnh, chữa bệnh số: 287/BYT-GPHĐ do Bộ Y tế cấp ngày 03/12/2020". The Department of Health portal shows this number as "Bệnh viện Thẩm mỹ Kangnam Sài Gòn", at the address above.

The website also presents Kangnam as a system of several aesthetic hospitals and institutes in various provinces and cities. Number 287/BYT-GPHĐ corresponds to the address 666 Cách Mạng Tháng Tám, so if you go elsewhere, ask for the licence number of that location. The "Căng chỉ nâng cơ" page describes how the doctor chooses the thread type according to the degree of ageing. Biological threads that stimulate regeneration are for skin showing early ageing, and barbed threads that lift tissue are for the midface and jawline. The page states that the regimen is set by the doctor after the examination. Published working hours: 8:00–17:30, Monday – Sunday.

4. Bệnh viện Thẩm mỹ Gangwhoo

The website footer lists the address 576–578 Cộng Hòa, Tân Bình Ward, and "Giấy phép hoạt động khám bệnh, chữa bệnh số: 290/BYT – GPHĐ do Bộ Y tế cấp ngày 30/11/2020". It also carries the line "Phạm vi hoạt động chuyên môn: Thực hiện kỹ thuật chuyên môn được Bộ trưởng Bộ Y Tế phê duyệt ban hành kèm theo giấy phép hoạt động". The Department of Health portal shows number 290/BYT-GPHĐ as "Bệnh viện Thẩm mỹ Gangwhoo", at the address 576–578 Cộng Hòa.

The "Căng chỉ da mặt" page presents collagen thread lift as a method for improving loose, sagging skin. It lists complications that may occur when it is done at a substandard facility (allergy from threads of unclear origin, prolonged swelling, scarring) and stresses the role of the doctor who performs it personally. The page has a price list for a group of maxillofacial aesthetic services; this article does not quote prices.

5. Bệnh viện Worldwide

This is a hospital whose scope covers aesthetic surgery. The website states: "Bệnh viện Worldwide được Bộ Y Tế cấp phép hoạt động số 217/BYT-GPHĐ cấp ngày 06/02/2018", address 244A Cống Quỳnh, Bến Thành Ward. The Department of Health portal shows this number as "Bệnh viện Phẫu thuật Thẩm mỹ – Răng Hàm Mặt World Wide", at the address above.

The "Căng da mặt" page presents two approaches. The first is skin lift with collagen threads, a minimally invasive procedure. The surgeon places the threads in the subcutaneous layer through a cannula, inserted from the temple area. The second is endoscopic facelift surgery, with an incision at the hairline, for cases of more significant sagging. The page states that the doctor examines you in person before advising on an option. Published working hours: Monday – Saturday, 8:00–18:30; Sunday 8:30–12:30.

6. Bệnh viện Thẩm mỹ Ngọc Dung

The website footer lists "GPHĐ số: 353/BYT-GPHĐ do Bộ Y Tế cấp ngày 08/05/2024", hospital address 33C–33D–33E Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm, Sài Gòn Ward. The Department of Health portal shows this number as "Bệnh viện Thẩm mỹ Ngọc Dung", address 33C–33D–33E Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm, Tân Định Ward (formerly Đa Kao Ward, District 1). That is, the ward name on the portal differs from the ward name the website gives, while the house number matches.

The website describes a system of 16 branches but publishes only one licence number, corresponding to the hospital. If you go to another branch, ask for the licence number of that location. The "Căng chỉ collagen" page describes absorbable PDO, PCL or PLLA threads and a 5-step process lasting 60–90 minutes. The process begins with the doctor assessing the skin and facial structure. The page names Dr. Phạm Đức Tuấn as the doctor who examines you and sets the regimen.

7. Bệnh viện Thẩm mỹ JK Nhật Hàn

The website footer lists the address 31 Nguyễn Đình Chiểu, Sài Gòn Ward, and "Giấy phép hoạt động khám bệnh, chữa bệnh số: 188/BYT - GPHĐ do Bộ Y tế cấp". The Department of Health portal shows number 188/BYT-GPHĐ as "Bệnh viện Thẩm mỹ JK Nhật Hàn", address 31 Nguyễn Đình Chiểu, Tân Định Ward (formerly Đa Kao Ward, District 1). The ward name on the portal differs from the ward name the website gives, while the house number matches.

The issue date given on the website also differs from the date the portal displays, so when you visit, you can ask to see the copy of the licence displayed at the hospital. The "Căng chỉ đan lưới B40" page distinguishes thread-based skin lifting from facelift surgery and describes absorbable threads. It describes a process that begins with a consultation with a specialist doctor, followed by a general health check before the procedure.

8. Thẩm mỹ Galaxy — Dr. Lê Trần Duy

The website footer lists: "Giấy phép hoạt động: 09577/HCM-GPHĐ - cấp ngày 04/05/2023", "Phạm vi hoạt động chuyên môn: Khám bệnh, chữa bệnh chuyên khoa Phẫu thuật tạo hình thẩm mỹ", address 877–879 Hồng Bàng, Bình Tây Ward. The Department of Health portal shows this number as "Phòng khám chuyên khoa Thẩm mỹ" under Công ty TNHH Phòng khám chuyên khoa Phẫu thuật thẩm mỹ Galaxy, at the address 877–879 Hồng Bàng (formerly Ward 9, District 6).

The "Căng da bằng chỉ collagen" page describes the process at the clinic. In step 1, the doctor directly examines the condition of the skin, the degree of sagging and the facial structure. In step 2, the doctor assesses the skin area and sets an individual regimen. The page also includes a frequently asked questions section on pain, safety and recovery time. Published working hours: 08:00–21:00, Monday – Sunday.

Why does this article not include a price list?

"Top thread lift places" articles often come with a price list. This article deliberately does not, for three reasons. First, the cost of a thread lift depends on the area to be treated, the degree of sagging, the type and number of threads, and whether deeper intervention is needed. A single figure for "thread lift" is almost meaningless. Second, the prices facilities publish change over time. Copying prices from other people's websites into this article would quickly become wrong. Third, comparing prices between medical facilities easily leads readers to choose by price rather than by the facts in the three steps above.

The right approach is to ask for a cost quote after the doctor has examined you. It should state clearly the type of thread (trade name, country of manufacture), the number of threads, the area treated and the follow-up schedule, and an invoice should be issued.

Frequently asked questions

Is it acceptable to get a thread lift at a spa or beauty salon without a licence?

A thread lift is an invasive procedure, so it should be done at a facility whose licence covers aesthetics, by a doctor with a practising certificate. At a place without a medical examination and treatment licence, you cannot look up either the licence or the person who performs it. BonBoz's Thread lift & Mini facelift page lists signs that should be reported to the facility early rather than waiting for the follow-up appointment. These include feeling a thread end protruding under the skin, spreading hot red swelling, or fever. You can only call back if you know exactly which doctor treated you.

How can I tell whether a licence number is genuine?

Go to tracuu.medinet.org.vn, choose the *Cơ sở KCB* section and select "Tìm khớp tất cả các cụm từ (Phân biệt dấu)". The default mode does not show records of facilities that have ceased operating. Then type the licence number in the form `xxxxx/HCM-GPHĐ` into the search box and press Enter. The result must match the name, the address and the facility type. For a thread lift, the facility type must be aesthetics or aesthetic surgery. If you cannot find a number issued by the Ministry of Health on the portal, ask the facility to show you the copy of the licence at its place of operation.

Is the order in this article a ranking?

No. The article was written by BonBoz Clinic, and BonBoz is placed first on the list. Next comes the facility in the same former District 3 area (Bàn Cờ Ward), so you can compare by area. The remaining entries follow in listing order. The article does not assess skill or compare results between facilities.

Why only 8 facilities? Do the others not have licences?

You cannot conclude that. The list includes only facilities for which the article could read both a facial thread lift service page and an aesthetic-scope licence number on their official website on 02/11/2026, and which could be checked on the Department of Health portal. Some facilities have a licence but do not publish the number on their website. Some have only an educational article but no service page. Those places are not in the table, but you can still use the three steps at the beginning of this article to check them yourself.

Why does the article not include clinics that only have a dermatology licence?

Because a thread lift is an aesthetic procedure, the article only accepts facilities with an aesthetic or aesthetic surgery licence that can be looked up on the portal. Some dermatology clinics also present thread lifts on their websites. If you are considering those places, ask clearly which licence applies to the thread lift procedure. Look up the facility type of that licence before booking.
