Thread Lifting (Mezonitě)

Absorbable meso-thread lifting at Medest places fine collagen-stimulating threads beneath the skin surface to support sagging tissue, smooth wrinkles, and progressively improve elasticity and skin tone. Unlike permanent surgical threads, the dissolving threads used here integrate into the dermis as a collagen scaffold that remains active long after the thread itself has broken down. MUDr. Vojtková places threads with minimal discomfort, targeting the face, jawline, neck, and other areas showing early laxity. Results develop over four to eight weeks as new collagen forms, and improvement in skin firmness and contour can persist for twelve to eighteen months.

Thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that bridges the gap between injectable treatments and surgical lifting. At Medest, MUDr. Vojtková uses absorbable meso-threads — thin filaments made from polydioxanone (PDO) or similar biocompatible materials — inserted via fine needles into the targeted tissue layers. The threads act through two complementary mechanisms. First, the mechanical support they provide immediately repositions mild tissue sagging and fills in fine surface wrinkles by creating a scaffolding matrix. Second, the body's healing response to the foreign material stimulates fibroblast activity, increasing local collagen and elastin production. The new collagen synthesis continues for weeks after the threads themselves begin to dissolve, so the skin improvements are sustained by genuine biological remodelling rather than a temporary filler effect. The procedure improves circulation in the treated tissue, which contributes to a skin-brightening effect — patients often report that their complexion looks more even and luminous several weeks after treatment. At Medest, threads are used primarily for the face (cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds, periorbital area), neck, and décolleté, though they can be placed on any body area showing early laxity. Treatment sessions last approximately 60 minutes. A fine needle introduces each thread; discomfort is minimal and a topical numbing cream is available. Immediately after the session, there may be slight redness or pinpoint marks at insertion sites that resolve within one to two days. Patients should avoid vigorous facial massage and high-heat environments for one week. Results become progressively more visible over four to eight weeks as collagen reorganises, and the lifting and firmness improvement typically lasts twelve to eighteen months before a maintenance session is advisable. Compared to conventional surgical face-lift, thread lifting carries far less risk and requires no general anaesthetic, making it a practical option for patients in their thirties and forties with mild to moderate laxity who are not yet candidates for surgery.
