APTOS-THREAD LIFTING

What you need to know about the non-surgical treatment

If you are looking for a non-surgical way to get younger look again, then fastest-growing anti-ageing treatment could be the answer.

The thread lifting is an easy way to smooth wrinkles and tighten sagging skin without surgery. There is a huge increase in the number of enquiries about thread liftings lately.

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.

The threads can be both non-absorbable and absorbable. As absorbable threads dissolve naturally, the skin starts to produce more collagen and elastin which gives a longer-lasting result. The threads are inserted without incision in the skin, so the procedure is totally safe.

Thread lifts can be used to treat a number of different areas, from smoothing horizontal and vertical forehead wrinkles to lifting the brow and outer eyebrow area and restoring volume to sagging cheeks. They can also smooth lines around the mouth and tighten sagging skin under the lower jaw, lift and rejuvenate various parts of the body.

Results are evident immediately after the procedure and can last from 1,5 to 5 years, depending on the thread composition.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

It’s vital to have a consultation before the procedure.

The best candidates for a thread lifting are aged 35 to 55 and have relatively good skin tone with a little sagging.

If there is too much loose skin then surgery may be the best option.

There are many different types of threads for lifting available.

APTOS presents wide range of threads for various parts of the face and body.

Indications for Aptos thread lift:

  • mild to moderate signs of ptosis of the skin
  • loss of tissue volume
  • development of fine lines and wrinkles

Before the procedure:

  • Avoid blood-thinning medicines and vitamin “E” a week before and after the treatment.

Procedures with APTOS threads must be performed by a doctor who has undergone specific training.

The 20-minute procedure

Applying APTOS threads takes around 20 minutes in a treatment room. Most people are able to resume work the same day after the procedure.
