What materials are used in the Aptos thread procedure, and how do they work?
+

Aptos treads are crafted from a unique copolymer of L-lactic and E-caprolactone, known as polylactic acid. These
absorbable threads stimulate the production of collagen types 1 and 3, rejuvenating the skin at a cellular level. As the threads gradually dissolve over time, they provide structural support and promote the generation of new collagen.

Aptos threads ensure also powerful shaping and lifting effects if/where necessary without the need for invasive surgery,
resulting in visible improvements such as decreased sagginess, volumization in desired areas, flattening of wrinkles,
improved facial and body contouring, and precise shape correction. Aptos threads is an ultimate choice for face lifting and body lifting and contouring.

Can you describe the procedure itself?
+

The procedure is relatively straightforward and convenient. It is conducted by a certified doctor under local anesthetic, typically lasting between 20 minutes to 40 minutes. Following the procedure, patients can typically resume their normal activities within 48 hours.

What kind of results can I expect from the procedure?
+

With the Aptos threads procedure, you can expect a unique combination of immediate lifting effects and gradual rejuvenation. While some results are visible right after the procedure, further enhancements become evident over time as the threads stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration. The absorbable nature of Aptos threads means that they gradually dissolve over the course of about 18 months, providing sustained benefits. Additionally, since the procedure is minimally invasive, you can typically return to your regular activities, including work, within just 48 hours. Overall, you can anticipate a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance with the Aptos threads, offering both immediate and long-term benefits for facial and body contouring.

How does the Threads Method differ from injectable fillers?
+

Injectable fillers, while effective for certain concerns, have limitations in terms of longevity and sustainability. Unlike fillers, which may need to be repeated regularly, leading to heaviness and excessive volume and finally to sagginess, the Threads Method offers a more enduring solution. The Aptos threads used in this method gradually dissolve over time, stimulating collagen production and providing sustained benefits for up to 18 months. This sustainable approach reflects the growing demand for long-lasting and natural-looking results in facial rejuvenation. It last longer,  doesn’t accumulate over-volumization effect and is sustainable.

What makes thread procedures non-traumatic?
+

Thread procedures are considered non-traumatic due to their minimally invasive nature, which avoids the need for extensive incisions or tissue manipulation. Unlike traditional surgical methods, thread procedures involve the insertion of fine threads beneath the skin to lift and rejuvenate targeted areas. This approach results in minimal disruption to the body's natural tissues and structures, leading to reduced post-procedural discomfort, shorter recovery times, and decreased risk of scarring. Additionally, thread procedures often utilize local anesthesia or numbing agents to ensure patient comfort during the treatment process. Overall, thread procedures offer a gentle yet effective alternative to more invasive surgical interventions, allowing individuals to achieve their desired aesthetic outcomes with minimal trauma to the  body.

Who is a candidate for a thread rejuvenation procedure?
+

Ideal Candidates:The right candidates for a thread rejuvenation procedure typically exhibit mild to moderate signs of skin ptosis, including loss of tissue volume, fine lines, and wrinkles on the face and neck. They may also have sagging eyebrows, a relaxed appearance in the middle third of the face, lip thinning, changes in the jaw contour, small bags under the eyes or on the neck, and facial asymmetry. Additionally, candidates experiencing skin dehydration or seeking to address recurrence from a previous procedure, such as a classic face or neck lift, may benefit from thread rejuvenation.

Inappropriate Candidates:Patients with excessive sagging skin due to advanced age may experience minimal improvement following the procedure. Similarly, individuals who are obese or have heavy, firm tissue may also note little improvement. However, in such cases, combining thread lifting with liposuction can enhance results.

- Nasolabial folds caused or aggravated by overhanging soft tissue masses

- Age-related changes in the neck, arising from atrophic processes of the skin
- Skin laxity in various body areas, such as the décolleté, inner side of the forearm, chest, abdomen, thighs, and above the knee area.

+

A: Absorbable Aptos Threads offer a unique approach to facial rejuvenation, targeting skin laxity and soft tissue ptosis.
