Thread Lifting (Dermica Polydioxanone Mesothreads)

Non-surgical facial lifting using Dermica bioabsorbable polydioxanone (PDO) mesothreads — the same material used in surgical sutures. Thin threads are inserted under the skin via fine needles in a grid pattern, providing immediate mechanical support while simultaneously stimulating the body's own collagen synthesis. The threads dissolve in six to eight months, leaving a newly formed collagen network that sustains the lifting effect for twelve to eighteen months total. Treatment areas include the brow, lower face, neck and chin, all with only topical anaesthetic and minimal downtime.

Thread lifting at Laser Esthetic uses Dermica mesothreads — ultra-fine, flexible threads made from polydioxanone (PDO), the same absorbable material used in internal surgical sutures worldwide. Each thread is pre-loaded in a very thin needle, allowing precise insertion through tiny puncture points without incisions. Once under the skin, the threads are laid in a grid or fan pattern, providing an immediate lift through mechanical tension and, crucially, triggering a controlled inflammatory response that stimulates fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis around each thread. This dual action — immediate lift plus biological regeneration — is what distinguishes PDO thread lifting from simple filler treatments. The threads themselves absorb completely in six to eight months; by that point the new collagen network they induced has taken over and continues to support the tissue for another six to twelve months, giving a total duration of twelve to eighteen months per treatment. The procedure takes approximately thirty minutes under topical anaesthetic cream. The fine gauge of the needles means bruising and swelling are possible but typically mild, and most patients return to normal activities almost immediately — though strenuous exercise, saunas and swimming pools are avoided for one week, and strong facial massage or cosmetic application to the treated area is deferred for the same period. A course of areas treated in one session is planned carefully to address the patient's specific anatomy: common applications are brow lifting (with eye-area threads from 4,500 Kč), jowl and nasolabial zone firming (lower face from 10,000 Kč), neck tightening (from 6,000 Kč) and chin definition (from 8,000 Kč). Thread lifting occupies the space between injectable treatments and surgery: it addresses mild to moderate skin laxity and early gravitational sagging that fillers cannot fully correct, without the downtime, scars or anaesthesia of a surgical facelift. It is most effective in adults in their late 30s to 50s with early to moderate facial laxity.
