Thread Lift (Mono & Barbed PLLA Threads)

The 'lunch-break lift' at AMEM Zlín: resorbable threads inserted under the skin to mechanically lift soft tissue and biologically stimulate collagen as they dissolve. The clinic offers the full range — smooth mono threads (PDO and polylactic PCLA) placed in a mesh to firm skin texture in areas like the lower face, neck or under-chin, and barbed PLLA lifting threads inserted by cannula that anchor into tissue and visibly reposition sagging cheeks, jowls and brows. Per-thread pricing (from 500 Kč) keeps treatment plans transparent: the doctor maps exactly how many threads your zones need before starting. Effect is immediate from the mechanical lift and improves for 2–3 months as new collagen forms around each thread.

Thread lifting bridges the gap between injectables and surgery: it physically repositions tissue (something neither botulinum nor most fillers can do) without incisions, general anaesthesia or surgical downtime. **Thread types at AMEM:** *Mono threads (500 Kč/pc; PCLA polylactic 600 Kč/pc)* — short smooth resorbable threads placed in a grid under lax skin. They do not pull tissue; instead, each thread becomes a scaffold around which the skin builds new collagen, progressively firming and thickening crepey areas: under the chin, the neck, lower cheeks, around the mouth, even the brow. Typically 10–40 threads per zone depending on size. *Deep lifting threads (1,500 Kč/pc) and barbed cannula PLLA threads (1,750 Kč/pc)* — longer threads with tiny barbs (cogs) that grip the subcutaneous tissue. Inserted along precisely planned vectors with a cannula, they pull descended tissue of the midface, jowls or brow back toward its youthful position with an immediately visible result. Polylactic acid (PLLA) threads stimulate particularly strong collagen formation as they resorb over months, leaving behind a natural supportive structure. The result typically holds 12–24 months. **The procedure:** marking of vectors and thread count confirmation, local anaesthesia at entry points, insertion by needle (mono) or blunt cannula (barbed), gentle adjustment of the lift. The session takes 30–60 minutes — genuinely feasible in a long lunch break. Expect possible tightness, small bruises, and mild dimpling at entry points that settles within days; a soothing post-thread mask (500 Kč) is available. Avoid wide mouth opening, dental work, facial massage and sleeping face-down for the first 2 weeks after barbed threads. **Contraindications:** pregnancy/breastfeeding, active skin infection, autoimmune disease in flare, clotting disorders, very heavy skin laxity (where surgical facelift — also available at this clinic — is the honest recommendation).
