What is Threads for Lifting and Collagen Stimulation?
Absorbable threads are placed beneath the skin and gradually broken down by the body. Depending on the thread type, the main purpose may be collagen stimulation or mechanical repositioning of tissue. These goals require different techniques.
What does Threads for Lifting and Collagen Stimulation entail?
After examination, we mark the planned path and apply local anaesthesia. The threads are placed through small entry points, after which symmetry and tissue tension are checked.
Applications of Threads for Lifting and Collagen Stimulation
Mono threads and threads with anchoring structures serve different purposes. The choice of thread reflects FA Dr. Med. (univ. Belgrad) Darko Nikolic’s particular focus on collagen stimulation. Skin thickness and tissue mobility determine which technique may provide suitable support and where its limits lie.
Safety of Threads for Lifting and Collagen Stimulation
Swelling, small bruises, tenderness or temporary dimpling can occur during the early stages of healing after thread treatment. Your doctor also discusses the risks of infection, visible or protruding threads, and nerve or vascular injury. Personal aftercare takes both the thread type and treated region into account.
Before and Aftercare
Previous threads and other procedures influence the planning of another thread treatment. Please bring information about these as well as medications and allergies. Allow enough room in your schedule for the recovery period discussed with you.
After thread placement, the main priority is to reduce strain on the treated tissue. Avoid pressure and pulling and follow the instructions tailored to the thread type and area regarding sleeping position, movement and massage. Increasing pain, redness or protruding threads require medical assessment.
With a thread lift, repositioning may be visible early. We first allow swelling to settle before judging the contour. Collagen-related changes develop over around 6–12 weeks, and the degree of effect varies from person to person.
Personal consultation
During a personal consultation at our practice, we assess whether supportive threads or lifting threads are appropriate for your tissue. We explain what degree of change may be achievable and what recovery period to allow. The consultation lasts 30 minutes and costs €75.

Threads used for broad structural support and threads with anchoring structures serve different purposes. We choose the technique based on the skin assessment, tissue mobility and the desired change.
At the first follow-up, we check thread placement and healing. Later, we review the result after swelling has settled and take further changes in the tissue into account.
