Thread lifting at FaceExpert uses resorbable PDO, PLLA, and P(LA/CL) threads inserted under the skin to mechanically lift sagging facial contours and simultaneously stimulate collagen production. Performed by MUDr. Zuzana Macko — a MINT thread system-certified international trainer — the treatment is fully outpatient with minimal recovery. FaceExpert offers a tiered range from focused single-zone lifts (Foxy Eyes brow lift at 16,900 Kč, nose lifting, Nefertiti neck variant) through comprehensive facial lifts that address the mid-face, jawline, and overall facial laxity in a single session. Unlike barb-free smooth threads which only stimulate collagen, FaceExpert's lifting threads provide an immediate, visible repositioning effect — the lifted position is further supported over the following 2–3 months as new collagen forms along the thread scaffold. The result typically lasts 18–24 months. MUDr. Macko's MINT certification signals mastery of the most demanding thread techniques and is directly transferable to patient outcomes in her clinic.
About this treatment
Thread lifting is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation technique in which resorbable barbed sutures — made from PDO (polydioxanone), PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid), or P(LA/CL) (poly-L-lactic-co-caprolactone) — are inserted through micro-punctures under local anaesthesia or numbing cream and tensioned to mechanically reposition descended facial tissue. At FaceExpert, MUDr. Zuzana Macko holds MINT certification — an international standard for barbed thread…
Thread materials and their differences
- PDO threads: Fastest-dissolving (4–6 months); provide immediate collagen induction; used for smooth biostimulating threads and lighter cog threads.
- PLLA threads: Persist 12–18 months; stronger biostimulatory signal; the sustained presence extends the collagen-stimulation phase and is preferred for more significant lifting cases.
- P(LA/CL): A copolymer combining PLLA rigidity with polycaprolactone flexibility, allowing thicker thread diameters that carry more tissue without fracturing during tensioning — used in the most demanding lifting cases such as the Complete Full Lifting.
