Thread lifting at UEM Prague uses resorbable mesothreads in various lengths, thicknesses and types to lift early facial sagging and stimulate collagen without surgery, priced at 4,000–10,000 Kč per treatment. Fine threads inserted under the skin create an immediate supportive mesh and trigger collagen formation as they dissolve over months. The treatment is performed by physicians of the institute's dermatosurgery department and suits patients with mild-to-moderate laxity who are not ready for a surgical facelift — with the surgical option available in the same clinic when laxity progresses.
About this treatment
Thread lifts occupy the space between injectables and surgery: resorbable threads (typically polydioxanone or similar absorbable polymers) are introduced under the skin through fine needles or cannulas, where they mechanically support tissue and — as they slowly dissolve over 6–9 months — provoke a fibroblast response that lays down new collagen along each thread's track. The result is subtle repositioning of early jowls, softening of the nasolabial area…
UEM offers a range of thread types — different lengths, calibers and configurations (smooth mesothreads for skin-quality meshes, stronger threads for directional lift) — which is why the price spans 4,000–10,000 Kč: a small mesh of fine threads at the entry point, a fuller lifting pattern with stronger threads at the top. The 500 Kč consultation determines candidacy honestly; the institute's advantage is that its physicians also perform surgical…
The procedure takes 30–45 minutes under local anesthesia. Expect possible bruising, mild swelling and a sensation of tightness for several days, with small entry-point marks fading within a week. Results: immediate modest lift, improving over 2–3 months as collagen builds, lasting roughly 12–18 months. Repeat treatments maintain the effect. Avoid extreme facial movements, dental procedures and sleeping face-down in the first weeks per aftercare guidance.
