thread-lift

Thread Lift — Mezonit & Aptos

ILK offers thread lifting with two distinct systems: absorbable Mezonit threads for localised lifting and collagen stimulation, and Aptos Nite 3D barbed threads for a more comprehensive mini-facelift effect. Mezonit threads are inserted via thin needles and stimulate a gradual collagen envelope around each thread as they dissolve over 6–8 months, maintaining lift. Aptos Nite threads have counter-directional hooks cut into their surface that anchor tissue mechanically, providing stronger and more sustained lifting for ptotic facial tissue. Both procedures take approximately 30 minutes under local anaesthetic and produce an immediate visible improvement with zero required recovery time.

PRP Plasma Therapy — Facial Rejuvenation

ILK uses Swiss RegenPlazma technology to prepare autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the patient's own blood — drawn at 8 ml, centrifuged, and processed without chemical activators to preserve the full natural growth factor concentration. The resulting A-PRP gel activates up to 80% of the patient's own growth factors including PDGF, TGF-β, and EGF, which drive collagen remodelling, accelerate tissue repair, and improve skin texture over a 4–6 week post-treatment window. The procedure ends with a calming mask; a premium option adds hyaluronic acid alongside the PRP for combined hydration and regeneration.

chemical-peels

Chemical Peel — Filorga Protocol

ILK uses the Filorga medical peel system — an 18-ingredient synergistic formula applied in four structured steps: preparation, controlled acid exfoliation, neutralisation, and restoration. The 4-step protocol ensures the peel acts at the correct pH throughout application and is properly neutralised before the restoration phase begins. Performed by Mgr. Martina Nezbedová, the Filorga peel is available in mild and deep variants depending on the degree of exfoliation needed. A full course of 3–5 sessions at 1-week intervals is recommended for skin brightening, wrinkle reduction, pigmentation correction, pore refinement, and acne scar improvement.

laser

IPL — Pigmentation & Facial Redness

ILK uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat both pigmentation disorders and diffuse facial redness through selective photothermolysis — the same principle as laser but using a broad-spectrum filtered light source rather than a monochromatic beam. For pigmentation (melasma, chloasma, freckles, solar lentigines), IPL targets melanin in the epidermis, heating and breaking apart the pigment clusters so they can be cleared by the skin's natural turnover. For facial redness and rosacea, the targeted chromophore is oxyhaemoglobin in the dilated capillaries — the IPL seals these vessels, reducing diffuse redness over 2–4 weeks. Small localised areas like a few spots can be treated from 600 Kč; comprehensive facial redness treatment covers the entire face for 5,000 Kč.

microneedling

Microneedling — Skin Renewal

ILK's microneedling session creates thousands of controlled micro-punctures in the skin using fine needles, triggering the body's natural wound-healing cascade to produce new collagen and elastin. Performed by Mgr. Martina Nezbedová, the protocol follows a defined sequence: cleansing, a hydrating ampoule to prep the skin, the microneedling pass, a calming mask, and finishing with eye cream and a lifting cream. The micro-channels close within 15 minutes of the session, allowing makeup after just 1 hour. This makes it one of ILK's shortest-downtime rejuvenation options while still delivering measurable collagen induction.

botox-fillers

Dermal Fillers — Injectable Volume Restoration

ILK physicians use two distinct filler materials matched to the target area: calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) for deeper structural restoration of nasolabial folds, and hyaluronic acid (HA) gels for lip enhancement and under-eye rejuvenation. CaHA provides a scaffold effect that supports surrounding tissue and lasts 12–18 months, while HA fillers are softer and more suited to areas requiring precise volume without rigidity, lasting 6–12 months. The procedure takes 30 minutes including assessment; a consultation (300 Kč) precedes treatment to map volumes and choose the appropriate product. Advanced liquid lifting uses a combination approach to restore overall facial volume.

mesotherapy

Mesotherapy — Facial Skin Rejuvenation

ILK's mesotherapy formula contains 58 active ingredients delivered by micro-injection directly into the dermis — bypassing the epidermal barrier entirely. The cocktail includes biomimetic peptides, nanoencapsulated hyaluronic acid, amino acids, nucleic acids, vitamins, minerals, and coenzymes, all working synergistically to stimulate collagen production, restore skin hydration and improve elasticity. Unlike topical serums, intradermal delivery places these actives at the depth of the fibroblasts where they stimulate new collagen and elastin. The procedure uses fine needles; a consultation assesses skin condition and maps the treatment zones. Microneedling can be added for enhanced channel penetration.

laser

Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing

ILK's fractional CO2 laser creates a grid of 48 microscopic ablation columns per cm² across the skin, removing damaged epidermal and superficial dermal tissue while leaving surrounding skin intact to accelerate healing. Each pass takes 20–40 minutes depending on the area; the fractional approach means only a fraction of the surface is treated at any given time, dramatically reducing the recovery compared with fully ablative CO2 resurfacing. The laser addresses wrinkles, acne scarring, skin laxity, uneven texture, deep perioral lines, and scar correction. Redness persists for 3–5 days post-treatment as the microcolumns heal and the surrounding untreated tissue drives rapid re-epithelialisation.

mole-removal

Skin Lesion Removal — CO2 Laser

MUDr. Pavel Pacák performs CO2 laser removal of moles, fibromas, skin tags, xanthelasmas, and basal cell carcinomas at ILK. The CO2 laser vaporises lesion tissue precisely, achieving haemostasis simultaneously — no suturing is required and the wound heals via secondary intention over 2–4 weeks. Local anaesthetic is administered before each removal. Histopathological examination of removed tissue is available and recommended, particularly for any pigmented or changing lesion. The per-lesion pricing model is transparent: 1,500 Kč for the first lesion removed, 1,000 Kč for each additional, with 400 Kč per specimen for histopathology.

mole-removal

Computer Dermatoscopy — Mole & Skin Lesion Screening

ILK's dermatoscopy service uses both a clinical computer dermatoscope and a robotic AI dermatoscope for full-body screening — magnifying and digitally recording each lesion so its internal architecture can be assessed for risk features invisible to the naked eye. MUDr. Pavel Pacák, ILK's lead laser skin physician, performs the examinations. Digital records are maintained to enable precise monitoring of lesion change over time. Patients with moles larger than 5 mm, asymmetric or irregular lesions, or any changing mole should be screened. If a lesion is suspicious, removal is available at the same clinic with optional histopathological examination.

body-contouring

LPG Cellu M6 Integral — Body Endermologie

The LPG Cellu M6 Integral at ILK uses patented mechanical endermologie — computer-guided dual-roller massage with vacuum waves — to stimulate the connective tissue and trigger natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Unlike creams or ultrasound, the mechanical stimulation of the Cellu M6 provides a direct physical signal to dermal fibroblasts and adipocytes, promoting lipolysis in resistant fat, improving lymphatic drainage, and restoring skin firmness. The 35-minute full-body sessions are performed in a specialised treatment suit; visible improvement in cellulite appearance, body contour, and skin texture typically emerges after 5 sessions.

skin-analysis

Skin Diagnostics — Antera 3D

ILK's Antera 3D is the world's first patented spectrometer designed specifically for measuring skin beauty parameters — it analyses nine distinct skin characteristics in a single session: hydration, elasticity, pore size, wrinkle depth and density, surface texture, melanin distribution, haemoglobin levels (redness/vascularity), photodamage severity, and skin sensitivity. The 3D surface mapping creates a precise baseline record of the skin's current condition and enables quantitative tracking of treatment progress. Performed by Mgr. Martina Nezbedová, the session concludes with personalised treatment recommendations grounded in the objective measurements.

skin-tightening

Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency — De-Age EX

The De-Age EX device at ILK delivers fractional radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis by bypassing the epidermis entirely with 36 microneedles. Unlike surface RF devices, this approach places thermal energy at the precise dermal depth where collagen and elastin are remodelled — from 0.1 to 4 mm — without burning the overlying skin. Thermal pulses up to 35 J contract existing collagen fibres immediately and stimulate neo-collagen synthesis over the following weeks. The result is progressive skin tightening, pore reduction, wrinkle smoothing, and improvement in acne scarring and stretch marks. Each applicator is sterile and single-use, eliminating cross-contamination risk.

rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty — Nose Reshaping Surgery

ILK's plastic surgery team performs rhinoplasty using both open and closed techniques depending on the extent of reshaping needed. Closed rhinoplasty uses entirely internal incisions — leaving no visible external scar — and is suited to cases involving cartilage reshaping, minor tip refinement, and mild hump reduction. Open rhinoplasty accesses the nasal framework via a small incision across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), allowing the surgeon full visualisation of the internal structures for more complex cases including full septal deviation correction, significant hump removal, and structural reconstruction. The procedure takes 1–2 hours under local or general anaesthesia; the primary recovery with visible swelling is 2 weeks and the final permanent result becomes apparent over 6–12 months as residual tissue remodelling completes.

fat-reduction

Cryolipolysis — LipoCryo Fat Freezing

ILK's LipoCryo cryolipolysis system selectively freezes subcutaneous fat cells without damaging overlying skin or muscle. Fat cells (adipocytes) are uniquely vulnerable to cold at temperatures that skin tolerates safely — the LipoCryo applicator holds the tissue between cooling panels at a controlled sub-zero temperature, triggering apoptosis (programmed cell death) in the fat layer. The body then clears the dead adipocytes through its lymphatic system over 2–4 weeks. A single treatment reduces localised fat by over 20%; up to 3 sessions per area (40-day minimum intervals) can achieve up to 50% reduction. Suitable for abdomen, flanks, thighs, buttocks, back, and upper arms in patients with up to 10 kg excess weight.

laser-therapy

EVLT — Endovenous Laser Therapy for Varicose Veins

EVLT (endovenous laser therapy) at ILK is performed by prim. MUDr. Petr Pták, the clinic's vascular surgeon, as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia. A laser fibre is inserted from the groin or popliteal access point into the varicose vein under ultrasound guidance; laser energy delivered through the fibre thermally destroys the vein wall as it is withdrawn, causing the vessel to seal and be reabsorbed over the following weeks. EVLT is the principal alternative to surgical vein stripping for great saphenous vein incompetence and avoids the general anaesthesia and longer recovery associated with traditional surgery. The all-in price of 21,000 Kč includes the surgery, dressings, and post-operative follow-up.

HIFU Ultrasound Skin Lifting — Ultherapy

ILK uses the Ulthera device — the clinical gold standard in HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) skin lifting — to deliver focused ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer up to 4.5 mm below the skin surface without cutting or injecting. The device's real-time ultrasound imaging allows the physician to visualise skin layers and precisely target the treatment depth before firing each pulse. This deep energy delivery triggers collagen contraction and neo-collagen synthesis in the foundation layers that surgical facelifts address, producing a lifting and firming effect that develops progressively over 2–3 months without any recovery time. Treatment is priced per pulse (50 Kč each) so patients pay precisely for the area and energy delivered.

Botulinum Toxin — Wrinkle Treatment

ILK's physicians administer botulinum toxin injections to relax the facial muscles responsible for expression wrinkles on the forehead, glabella (the vertical frown lines between the brows), and the lateral eye area (crow's feet). The toxin is injected using fine needles across the target muscle groups, temporarily blocking the nerve-to-muscle signal and preventing the contractions that etch lines into the skin. Results emerge gradually over 2–7 days, reaching full effect by two weeks, and last approximately four months on a first treatment — an interval that tends to extend to six months or more with successive sessions. A pre-treatment consultation at 300 Kč is required to assess suitability, map the injection zones, and discuss realistic outcomes.

tattoo-removal

Tattoo Removal — Q-Switch Laser

ILK removes tattoos using a Q-switched laser, which delivers ultra-short, high-peak-power pulses that shatter tattoo ink particles into fragments small enough for the immune system to clear. The Q-switch mechanism stores energy and releases it in nanosecond bursts — the brief pulse duration means the energy is absorbed by the ink before the surrounding tissue can dissipate the heat, minimising skin damage while maximising ink fragmentation. Amateur and pigment spot tattoos typically clear in 1–2 sessions; professional tattoos require 3–5 sessions at 4–6 week intervals to allow the body to clear fragmented ink between treatments. The per-cm² pricing model provides complete transparency on treatment cost relative to tattoo size.

PRP & Mesotherapy — Hair Loss Treatment

ILK's hair loss clinic offers two evidence-supported scalp treatments — PRP and mesotherapy — individually or as a combined protocol. PRP uses centrifuged A-PRP gel from the patient's own blood injected mesotherapeutically into the scalp, delivering concentrated growth factors directly to the hair follicle environment to stimulate regrowth in androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. Scalp mesotherapy delivers a targeted cocktail of hair-specific actives (vitamins, amino acids, DHT-blocking agents) directly to the follicle zone. The combined package provides both biological stimulation and nutritional follicle support in a single treatment cycle, priced at 7,700 Kč for the paired session.

eyelid-surgery

Blepharoplasty — Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty at ILK is performed by three experienced plastic surgeons — prim. MUDr. Vladimír Mařík, MUDr. Pavel Kurial, and MUDr. Jan Kasper — under local anaesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Upper blepharoplasty removes the excess skin and fat pads that hood the upper eyelid, restoring the eyelid crease and improving the visual field in functional cases. Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags by removing or repositioning the herniated fat and tightening the lower lid skin. Combined upper and lower blepharoplasty delivers a comprehensive periorbital rejuvenation. The procedure takes approximately 1 hour; sutures are removed within 10 days and bruising typically resolves within 2–3 weeks.

hair-removal

Laser Hair Removal

ILK's laser hair removal programme targets melanin in hair follicles through selective photothermolysis, delivering pulses of laser energy that heat and disable follicles in the active growth (anagen) phase without damaging surrounding skin. Monika Husáková, with over 20 years of laser hair removal experience, leads the programme. Prices are set per body area and reflect the substantial size differences across zones — from small areas like the upper lip to large areas like the full legs. Sessions are scheduled at intervals calibrated to each area's hair cycle, ensuring follicles are caught in the anagen phase when they are most responsive. Hair must be shaved — not plucked or waxed — before treatment to allow the laser to target the follicle root directly.
