Thread Lifts


APTOS Threads


A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that offers a natural alternative to facelift surgery. The threads are inserted under your skin, positioned in the muscle layer, where they tighten and lift your skin over time. It tightens your skin by pulling it up through the threads for an instant face-lift effect and more youthful appearance.

APTOS Threads are made of both non-absorbable (polypropylene)  and absorbable (poly-L-lactic acid + caprolactone) material. The polypropylene threads have been used in surgery for more then 50 years and poly-lactic threads are composed of fully absorbable non-allergic material, that has been used in medicine for many years.

How Do APTOS Threads Work?

The procedure involves inserting threads into the soft tissues which are then pulled tight, lifting the skin. As a result, the face is redefined, volume restored & the effects of ageing are significantly reduced. Specially designed barbs in Aptos threads provide a soft grip on surrounding tissues. As absorbable threads dissolve naturally, the skin starts to produce more collagen which gives a longer-lasting result. Over a period of time they improve skin tone, texture, colour and hydration.


Results


Results from Aptos Threads are evident immediately and can last anywhere from 1.5 to 5 years depending on the composition of the threads.
