Aptos skin lifting threads are the latest generation threads for non-surgical tightening, lifting and contouring treatment that can be applied on all parts of the face, neck and body. The threads are made of surgical absorbable material composed of a combination of poly-L-lactic acid and caprolactone, for additional collagen stimulation. Using special non-invasive methods of thread application, without surgery and scarring, the skin is revitalized and its quality improved. The rejuvenation, tightening and lifting results are visible immediately, the recovery period is minimal, and the effects last up to 2 years.
Aptos unique threads have been produced for 25 years now. They are applied in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine in more than 70 countries around the world. Thanks to specially designed multi-directional and two-way hooks on the threads, we can achieve intensive tightening, improvement of micro-circulation and collagen synthesis stimulation. Multi-directional hooks on the threads give greater firmness to the soft tissue and prolong the lifting effect after their application.

Non-surgical skin lifting – How are the threads applied?
Application of Aptos threads is performed by a plastic surgeon under local anesthesia. Threads are inserted through atraumatic round tip cannula, thus minimizing the possibility of swelling and bruising. The procedure is simple and quick, with a few days recovery period. After the procedure light redness, minor swelling and unevenness on the skin surface may occur but they do not affect patient’s daily activities. Immediately after the procedure, the skin is visibly tightened, and the full effect is achieved after 1-2 months. This procedure can be combined with other anti-aging treatments such as PRP, lasers, peels, botox.
