Aptos Lift Threads
What are Aptos lifting threads?
Aptos lifting threads are an innovative technology in aesthetic medicine that enables non-surgical lifting, tightening, and contouring of the skin on the face, neck, and other parts of the body. These threads are made of resorbable surgical material, combining poly-L-lactic acid and caprolactone, known for stimulating collagen production in the skin.
With their unique structure featuring multidirectional and bidirectional barbs, Aptos threads provide firmness to soft tissues and extend the lifting effect by encouraging natural skin renewal and tightening processes. The threads are inserted under the skin using specialized non-invasive techniques, requiring only local anesthesia, and the recovery period is significantly shorter compared to traditional surgical lifting methods.
Why choose Aptos lifting threads?
Aptos lifting threads are the perfect solution for those seeking quick and noticeable rejuvenation results without a long recovery period. With over 25 years of worldwide application, these specially designed threads stimulate collagen synthesis, improve microcirculation, and provide intensive lifting and skin tightening for both the face and body.
What is the cost of an Aptos thread treatment?
The cost of an Aptos thread lift varies depending on the treatment area and ranges from €600 to €1500 for the entire face. The price also depends on whether the treatment is combined with other anti-aging procedures.
Aptos thread procedure
Performed by an experienced plastic surgeon under local anesthesia, Aptos lifting threads offer an innovative approach to non-surgical rejuvenation. Using a specialized blunt-tipped cannula minimizes the risk of swelling and bruising. Visible skin tightening is noticeable immediately, while full effects develop over 1 to 6 months, leaving the skin with a youthful and refreshed appearance. Aptos threads pair exceptionally well with other anti-aging procedures such as laser treatments, hyaluronic fillers, mesotherapy, and biorevitalization.
Areas suitable for Aptos thread treatment
Aptos threads are effectively used on various parts of the face and body, including the chin, eyebrows, mid-face, cheeks, cheekbones, and areas such as arms, breasts, abdomen, and buttocks. The threads offer different application methods to precisely target problem areas, ensuring natural and harmonious reshaping.
Recovery after an Aptos thread lift
Recovery is quick, allowing you to resume daily activities promptly, with full results becoming visible within 1–6 months. Initial improvements are noticeable immediately after the procedure, and the effects can last from 1.5 to 2 years.
What are lifting threads, and what effects do they achieve?
Threads are a non-surgical technique for tightening and reshaping the face. Ideal candidates for this procedure are individuals between the ages of 35 and 55. The primary advantage of this method is its ability to provide an immediately visible and natural facial rejuvenation, restoring volume while maintaining natural facial expressions. It is considered the most natural way to stimulate new collagen production. Depending on skin type, the effects can last up to 2 years.
How long does the Aptos thread procedure take?
The thread lift procedure takes approximately 20–30 minutes. It is performed in a sterile operating room, and patients can return home immediately after the procedure and resume their usual activities.
Post-procedure care
During the first one to two weeks after the procedure, avoid rubbing your face, which includes skipping facial treatments and massages. Try to sleep on your back with your head elevated. Avoid visiting saunas, tanning beds, and gyms for a week after the procedure.
Are there risks or allergy concerns?
Threads are a very safe treatment. Unlike surgical facelifts, the thread method involves no incisions or scars, eliminating the risk of heavy bleeding or significant bruising. The procedure is practically painless. Thanks to the nature of the threads, which are biocompatible and biodegradable, there is no risk of allergic reactions.
Is preparation required for thread lifting?
No special preparation is required, but it is recommended that patients refrain from smoking, consuming alcohol, and engaging in physical exertion for two hours before the procedure. Additionally, 3–7 days prior, they should avoid medications such as aspirin, vitamin C, other supplements, and antihistamines (allergy medications).
Who is not a candidate for thread lifting?
- Extremely thin individuals
- People with very thin skin
