Thread Lift

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.

Absorbable meso-thread lifting at Medest places fine collagen-stimulating threads beneath the skin surface to support sagging tissue, smooth wrinkles, and progressively improve elasticity and skin tone. Unlike permanent surgical threads, the dissolving threads used here integrate into the dermis as a collagen scaffold that remains active long after the thread itself has broken down. MUDr. Vojtková places threads with minimal discomfort, targeting the face, jawline, neck, and other areas showing early laxity. Results develop over four to eight weeks as new collagen forms, and improvement in skin firmness and contour can persist for twelve to eighteen months.

Thread lift at ISCARE's dermatology department is a minimally invasive procedure that inserts biodegradable PDO (polydioxanone) or PLLA threads under the skin to mechanically lift sagging tissue in the face, neck, or jawline — and stimulate collagen production around the thread for a longer-lasting rejuvenation effect. At ISCARE Praha 9, thread lifts are administered by the dermatology team as a non-surgical alternative to facelift for patients with mild to moderate facial descent.

PDO mono-vlákna jsou tenké vstřebatelné nitě zaváděné pod kůži speciálními jehlami, které stimulují přirozené procesy tvorby kolagenu a způsobují zpevnění a lifting tkání. Swiss Esthetic používá PDO (polydioxanonové) mono-vlákno pro plošné zpevnění lícní oblasti, krku nebo dekoltu — bez řezů a bez jizev. Vlákno se vstřebá přibližně za 6 měsíců, ale kolagenová síť vybudovaná kolem něj přetrvává až 12–18 měsíců. Výsledek je viditelné zpevnění, vyšší kontury a lepší textura kůže.

FTC thread lifting uses bioabsorbable mezonitě (fine implantable threads) inserted via acupuncture needles into the skin and subcutaneous tissue to mechanically lift and firm sagging areas of the face, neck and body. The clinic's archived site describes it as "the best minimally invasive aesthetic technique for sagging tissue" with a natural rejuvenation result. Once in place, the threads trigger regenerative responses in the tissue — mechanical stimulation, tissue contraction and a collagen-induction cascade — rather than simply providing passive structural support. MUDr. Brychtová's neurological anatomy training makes her precise needle placement particularly well suited to thread techniques that require accurate positioning in relation to facial nerve branches.

Thread lifting at BESTÉE Clinic repositions sagging facial tissues and stimulates long-term collagen production without surgery. The clinic uses two established thread systems: Aptos (absorbable poly-L-lactic acid threads with barbs that mechanically lift tissue) and Silhouette Soft (bidirectional cone threads, 12,500 Kč for 2 pieces) for enhanced mechanical grip and support. A specialised Foxy Eyes technique — using permanent threads for a lateral canthal lift and almond eye effect — is also available at 20,000 Kč. Procedures take 40–60 minutes under local anaesthesia, and patients leave the clinic the same day. The physical lift is immediate; as threads resorb over the following months, the collagen network they induced continues to support the result significantly longer.

Thread lifting at Poliklinika Sever's Eye Care & Aesthetics Centre offers a non-surgical facial lifting option using dissolvable sutures inserted under the skin to mechanically reposition sagging tissue and stimulate collagen production. MUDr. Kim Štěpánková FEBO DiS. performs three thread protocols: 3D thread lifting for a multi-vector lift of the mid-face and jowl area (from 12,000 Kč), APTOS thread lifting using specialised barbed sutures for more durable tissue repositioning (from 18,000 Kč), and reinforcing or firming threads for smaller localised areas (from 2,000 Kč). Thread lifting bridges the gap between injectables and surgery, producing visible lifting with minimal downtime — typically 2–5 days of mild swelling — compared to 2–4 weeks for surgical facelift recovery.

Non-surgical face and body lifting using PDO (polydioxanone) and PLLA (polylactic acid) absorbable threads, performing mechanical tissue repositioning and long-term collagen stimulation simultaneously. The Anchor Plus 18G/19G threads used at Arendarska Care are barbed or cogged threads that physically grip and lift facial tissue — providing an immediately visible repositioning effect with a duration of 2–3 years minimum. Mono and screw PLLA threads offer a regenerative alternative at a lower entry price (from 2,500 Kč), stimulating collagen without significant mechanical lift. Sessions are 30–60 minutes with local anaesthetic; minimal recovery time.

Non-surgical thread lifting at EsteticUsti uses polydioxanone (PDO) — a hypoallergenic suture material used in surgery for over 15 years — to mechanically lift and reposition sagging facial soft tissue without incisions, general anaesthesia, or significant recovery time. The threads dissolve completely within 6–8 months (producing CO2 and water), but their lifting and collagen-stimulating effect persists for 1.5–2 years because the body lays down a new collagen scaffold along the thread tracks. The full procedure takes approximately 20 minutes under topical anaesthetic only, and patients return to normal activities immediately.

Thread lifting at Estetické centrum Komfort in Jihlava is a minimally invasive facial and body contouring procedure in which fine medical-grade threads are inserted subcutaneously via a thin needle, physically lifting sagging tissue while simultaneously stimulating the body's own collagen production around the thread. Local anaesthetic cream eliminates discomfort during the procedure. Results are visible immediately, with progressive improvement over 3–6 months as collagen builds around the threads. The treatment targets the face, neck, décolletage, arms, abdomen and thighs.

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.

OK Medical holds official APTOS application centre status for the APTOS thread lift — a technique in which specially designed biodegradable threads are inserted subcutaneously via cannula under local anaesthesia to mechanically lift sagging facial and neck tissue. APTOS is the global market leader in thread-based lifting, and the threads produce two effects simultaneously: an immediate repositioning of descended tissue and a progressive improvement in skin tone, texture, colour, and hydration as the threads stimulate the surrounding tissue over subsequent weeks. No incisions, no sutures, and no visible scarring distinguish this from a surgical facelift. Results typically last approximately two years. All procedures are performed by MUDr. Kim Štěpánková.

Thread lifting at S-thetics Beauty uses Aptos medical-grade biodegradable threads to achieve a non-surgical face lift — creating immediate mechanical tissue elevation while simultaneously stimulating new collagen production over the following months. MDDr. Darina Šanšašvili places the threads under local anaesthesia, meaning there is no general anaesthesia and minimal downtime compared to surgical lifting. Aptos threads (manufactured in Russia, widely used across European aesthetic medicine) are made from polylactic acid or polydioxanone copolymers — materials that are absorbed by the body over twelve to eighteen months, leaving behind a scaffold of newly formed collagen. Areas treatable at S-thetics Beauty include the full face, facial contours, jawline and neck, nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty), upper lip (bullhorn lift), outer brows (foxy eyes), and eyebrows. The lift is visible immediately after the procedure and continues to improve over three months as collagen remodelling progresses.

Aptos thread lifting at Skinity Clinic is performed by MUDr. Martin Bortlík using the internationally recognised Aptos system — one of the most studied minimally invasive lifting methods in aesthetic medicine. Aptos threads are PDO or PLLA/PCL cog-barbed sutures inserted through tiny entry points under local anaesthetic to mechanically lift sagging facial tissue and stimulate collagen production around the thread scaffold. The technique is particularly effective for mid-face ptosis, jowl definition, neck laxity, and brow lifting. Unlike traditional surgical facelifts, thread lifting involves no general anaesthesia, no skin excision, and minimal social downtime — most patients return to work within 5–7 days. Results are immediate and continue to improve over 2–3 months as bio-stimulated collagen matures around the threads, lasting 18–24 months.

Thread lifting at SKIN CARE Liberec is an outpatient surgical-aesthetic procedure that uses absorbable polylactic acid (PLA) threads inserted under the skin via cannula to mechanically lift sagging facial or body tissue and simultaneously trigger collagen synthesis along the thread track. Unlike dermal fillers that add volume, thread lifting creates a physical mechanical lift — the threads are anchored within the tissue and the cones or barbs on the thread engage surrounding tissue to hold the new position. Over six to twelve months, the PLA material gradually absorbs and is replaced by new collagen fibres deposited along the insertion track, providing a sustained structural reinforcement. Effect lasts up to two years. Recovery involves one week of limited activity and a compression mask for the first 24 hours. Pricing from 20,000 Kč.

APTOS polydioxanone and polylactic acid thread lifting performed by MUDr. Kateřina Adamcová — one of only three certified APTOS trainers in the Czech Republic. Biodegradable threads with directional hooks are inserted under the skin via a 1.2 mm needle, then repositioned to mechanically lift sagging tissue. As the threads dissolve over months, their polylactic acid component stimulates collagen production, so the lifting effect outlasts the thread itself. Areas include face, jaw, brow, nose, neck, arms, inner thighs and buttocks.

Mezonite threads at DiVine Clinic are smooth (barb-free) resorbable threads inserted in a mesh pattern to stimulate collagen production and improve skin firmness without a strong mechanical lifting effect. Unlike APTOS lifting threads, mezonites do not reposition tissue — instead, they create a scaffolding network that acts as a substrate for fibroblast activity and new collagen synthesis. MUDr. Petra Moravcová inserts the fine threads via thin needles after applying numbing cream, placing them in a cross-hatched or star pattern beneath the skin surface. The threads dissolve over approximately 6 months, but the collagen scaffold they generate persists for up to 2 years, delivering progressive skin tightening and elasticity improvement. Mild swelling, redness, and minor bruising may appear for a few days. Mezonites are particularly suited to patients with fine or thin skin who want collagen stimulation without a strong vector lift.

APTOS thread lifting at DiVine Clinic uses the internationally recognised APTOS barbed thread system to mechanically lift sagging facial contours under local anaesthesia. Performed by MUDr. Petra Moravcová — a plastic surgeon with expertise in both surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation — the treatment uses hypoallergenic biocompatible threads with micro-barbs that anchor to subcutaneous tissue and lift it to a higher position. As the threads are placed and tensioned, immediate lifting of the mid-face, jowls, brow, or neck is achieved. Over the following months, the threads also stimulate collagen formation around the thread scaffold, maintaining and improving the result even after the thread material begins to dissolve. The procedure takes around 30 minutes and requires a 14-day compression bandage at night. It is particularly suited to patients aged 35–45 who want visible lifting results without the downtime of surgery.

Thread lifting at Petra Clinic uses absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) or similar threads to mechanically lift sagging facial tissue in the cheeks, neck, jawline and brow, while simultaneously stimulating a sustained collagen formation response along each thread's path. Performed under local anaesthetic, thin cannulas introduce the barbed or cone-threaded sutures beneath the skin and along the SMAS fascia plane; the threads are then tensioned and secured to create an immediate visible lift. Over the following months the threads are gradually absorbed, but the collagen scaffold they have induced maintains the result for two to three years or more. A 1,000 Kč consultation fee applies (credited to treatment cost); the procedure takes 30–60 minutes and most clients return to work within one to three days.

Non-surgical correction of protruding ears (otapostasis) using permanent polypropylene threads instead of traditional surgical cartilage resection. A small incision behind the ear allows the physician to model and fix the auricular cartilage with non-absorbable sutures, repositioning the ear permanently in around 30–45 minutes under local anaesthesia with nitrous oxide. An elastic headband is worn for one week; sutures are removed at 7–10 days. Suitable for children from age 6 through to adults. This minimally invasive alternative to classical surgical otoplasty is one of Artmedica's signature specialist procedures.

Thread lifting at Follow Clinic uses Aptos threads — a clinically established brand with decades of global evidence — to mechanically lift and reposition sagging facial tissue without surgery. At 27,000 Kč, this comprehensive procedure targets the jowls, cheeks, brows, and neck using barbed absorbable polylactic acid (PLA) or PDO threads inserted via a cannula under local anaesthesia. In addition to the immediate mechanical lift, the threads stimulate new collagen synthesis as they resorb over 12–18 months, augmenting and prolonging the result. Results last 1–2 years. A pre-treatment doctor consultation is required before booking.

Aptos thread lifting at RAJSKA Clinic is a minimally invasive surgical alternative that physically repositions descended facial tissue using absorbable barbed or smooth threads — delivering immediate lift visible on the same day, followed by progressive collagen stimulation as the threads integrate and gradually absorb over twelve to eighteen months. The clinic uses multiple Aptos thread types: Excellence Visage, Namica, Light Lift, Nanospring, Light Lift Spring, and Rhino Sole — each suited to different areas, tissue depths, and degrees of laxity. Performed under local anaesthetic, the procedure requires a mandatory pre-treatment consultation with the physician. Available for cheeks, lower third, upper third, brow lift (foxy eyes), submental, and non-surgical nose reshaping.

Thread lifting at Altos Klinika repositions mildly sagging facial tissue using resorbable barbed threads placed under local anaesthesia, priced 35,000–53,000 Kč by extent. It offers a middle path between injectables and surgical facelift, performed at a clinic whose team includes a senior plastic surgeon for honest candidacy advice.

Thread lift is a minimally invasive facial lifting technique that uses dissolvable sutures (PDO, PLLA, or PCL threads) introduced through tiny skin entry points to mechanically lift sagging facial tissues and simultaneously stimulate collagen production in the surrounding tissue. At Art Ethic, the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia without general anaesthesia or large incisions, making it a practical intermediate option for patients who want visible lifting results but are not ready for surgical facelift or brow lift. Threads dissolve over 6–18 months while the collagen they stimulate persists beyond this.
