Thread Lift

Thread lifting at Altos Klinika repositions mildly sagging facial tissue using resorbable barbed threads placed under local anaesthesia, priced 35,000–53,000 Kč by extent. It offers a middle path between injectables and surgical facelift, performed at a clinic whose team includes a senior plastic surgeon for honest candidacy advice.

A thread lift uses fine resorbable threads — typically PDO or PLLA/PCL with tiny anchoring cogs — inserted under the skin via cannula to mechanically reposition descended soft tissue along the jawline, cheeks or brow. As the threads dissolve over months, they may leave behind a collagen scaffold that prolongs the supportive effect. The result is a subtle-to-moderate lift with days rather than weeks of recovery, suited to patients with early jowling or midface descent who are not ready for surgery. Altos Klinika prices thread lifting at 35,000–53,000 Kč, the range reflecting the number and type of threads and the zones treated — a jawline-only lift sits at the lower end, a multi-zone midface and lower-face lift at the upper end. Planning happens at a consultation (3,000 Kč) where the physician assesses tissue laxity honestly; because the clinic also has MUDr. Vlastimil Víšek, CSc. on staff for surgical procedures, patients whose laxity exceeds what threads can deliver are told so rather than oversold. The procedure takes around 60–90 minutes under local anaesthesia. Expect tightness, mild swelling, possible dimpling at anchor points and bruising for up to two weeks; chewing hard foods and strong facial massage are avoided initially. Effects typically last 12–24 months depending on thread type and individual tissue. Thread lifting combines well with the clinic's HIFU and biorevitalization for a layered non-surgical rejuvenation plan.
