Thread Lift

A thread lift at Impera Clinic provides an almost painless lifting and supportive effect using absorbable threads inserted under the skin. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, and you go home straight afterward, with minimal risk of swelling or bruising. The lifting effect comes not only from the threads' tiny anchoring hooks but also from the surrounding tissue's reaction to the threads, which stimulates collagen production. As a result, even after the threads themselves are absorbed, the lifting effect persists thanks to a newly formed collagen scaffold in the deeper skin.

A thread lift is a minimally invasive way to lift and support sagging facial tissue without surgery, using biocompatible, absorbable threads placed beneath the skin. **How it works:** Fine threads — often with tiny hooks or cones along their length — are introduced under the skin and gently anchor and reposition lax tissue, producing an immediate lifting and supportive effect. Crucially, the lifting result does not come only from the mechanical hooks: the surrounding tissue reacts to the presence of the thread material, which stimulates collagen production around it. This means that even after the threads themselves are gradually absorbed by the body, a newly formed collagen 'scaffold' remains in the deeper skin and the lifting effect persists. **Key advantages:** - Almost painless application, performed under local anaesthetic only - You go home immediately after the procedure - Minimal risk of swelling and bruising - A dual mechanism — immediate mechanical lift plus longer-term collagen stimulation **What it treats:** Early to moderate skin laxity and descent of facial tissue — softening of the jawline, mid-face, brows, and other areas where support has been lost. A full-face thread lift is available from 15,000 Kč, with smaller area treatments from 6,500 Kč. **The session:** After consultation and marking, the area is numbed with local anaesthetic and the threads are inserted through tiny entry points and positioned to lift and support the tissue. The procedure takes around 45–60 minutes. **Aftercare:** Mild tenderness, slight swelling, or small bruises can occur but are typically minimal. Avoid extreme facial movements, dental procedures, sauna, and intense exercise for 1–2 weeks, and sleep on your back where possible. Provided to adults 18+ after individual consultation; results vary.
