Lifting with mesothreads
More about the procedure
Description
A minimally invasive procedure with a lifting effect, in which fine biodegradable mesothreads are implanted into the skin, stimulating collagen production and tissue remodeling. The procedure is an alternative to surgical lifting - without incisions, without a long recovery period, with an instant tightening, lifting effect and progressive improvement in the following months.
Mesothreads (PDO, PLLA, PCL) adapt to the patient's individual anatomy and can be used both for lifting and for improving the texture, tone and contours of the face and body.
Indications
- Sagging middle and lower third of the face
- Fading facial contours and loss of oval shape
- Nasolabial and marionette lines
- Wrinkles on the neck and under the chin area
- Mild ptosis of the eyebrows or cheeks
- Maturity of the skin with reduced elasticity
- Tightening delicate areas - under the eyes, around the mouth, lower jaw, neck
Protocol and results
- Instantly visible lifting effect
- Progressive improvement for up to 3 months, thanks to newly formed collagen
- Duration of results: 12–18 months
- If necessary – repeat after 1–1.5 years
- Mesothreads are completely resorbed within 6 to 12 months, activating deep skin lifting and tightening in the meantime. They are fully compatible with other aesthetic procedures such as botulinum toxin, fillers, biostimulators and lasers
Post-procedure care
For optimal effect and minimizing the risk of complications, it is important to follow the following recommendations:
- Avoid massages, pressure and sharp facial expressions in the treated area for at least 10–14 days.
- Sleep on your back, with your head elevated, for at least the first 3–4 nights
- Do not apply cosmetics, makeup or active ingredients (retinol, acids) to the area within 24 hours
- Avoid intense physical activity, sauna, steam room and solarium for at least 7 days
- If necessary, use cold compresses for swelling, at the doctor's discretion.
- A follow-up examination is recommended after about 2 weeks.
- Following the recommendations ensures safe restoration and optimal aesthetic results.

How does the procedure work?
Detailed consultation and marking of lift vectors
Applying local anesthesia for patient comfort
Intradermal insertion of the sutures through a fine cannula or needle, in accordance with the desired effect
Shaping and adapting fabrics – with slight external adjustments if needed
The procedure lasts between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the area. There may be slight swelling or bruising, which will subside within a few days.
The filler adds volume, the Skinbooster hydrates, and the stimulator activates the production of your own collagen.
Yes, if you have moderate sagging and do not want surgery. For faces that are too wide and heavy, we recommend a surgical facelift performed by a plastic surgeon.
Calcium hydroxyapatite, dextranomers and polylactic acid – no more than 2 sessions per year.
Not when we work with moderate volume, precise technique, and a medical approach.
Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the signal between the nerve and the muscle. It does not create volume, unlike hyaluronic fillers. This relaxes the muscle and smooths out facial wrinkles.
The effect occurs within 3–5 days after injection and lasts about 4–6 months. It is suitable for the forehead, eye contour, frown lines and other dynamic areas.
