Aptos Threads

Precise lifting with visible results

Aptos Light Lift thread lifting is an innovative solution based on bioabsorbable polylactic acid (PLA) that gradually dissolves in the body over about 360 days. The threads are designed for individuals with noticeable signs of loss of firmness and skin structure weakening - enabling effective lifting of tissues and restoring a clear contour of the face and neck.

The procedure offers a non-invasive yet highly effective way of rejuvenation - without the need for surgical intervention.

How does the Aptos Light Lift thread lifting procedure work?

During the procedure, the doctor inserts Aptos threads under the skin under local anesthesia, following the natural tension of the tissues. The hooks on the threads anchor in the tissues and lift them in the desired direction, sculpting facial features and restoring a youthful appearance.

Additionally, the material from which the threads are made - polylactic acid - has a bio-stimulating effect, stimulating the skin to produce collagen. This helps the effects of the procedure to gradually solidify and can last up to 2 years.

When to consider this procedure?

The Aptos Light Lift procedure is recommended for individuals who:

• Experience significant loss of firmness and skin tension
• Notice sagging of the face, cheeks, jawline, or chin
• Want to reshape the face and neck without surgery
• Expect quick and long-lasting results
• Seek lifting while simultaneously stimulating skin regeneration

Effects of the Aptos Light Lift thread lifting procedure

• Immediate lifting effect and facial contour improvement - Aptos Light Lift threads, with their micro-protrusions, allow for effective lifting and support of tissues, leading to an immediate improvement in facial contour and jawline definition. This effect is visible immediately after the procedure and enhances over the course of a few weeks.
• Reduction of wrinkles and expression lines - The use of Aptos threads can smooth deep wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds or marionette lines, through mechanical skin tension and stimulation of collagen and elastin production.
• Improvement in firmness and skin elasticity - The presence of threads in the skin stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen fibers, leading to increased skin density, firmness, and elasticity. This effect can last up to 2 years after the procedure.
• Lifting sagging corners of the mouth and correcting marionette lines - Specific thread variants, such as Aptos Light Lift Spring, are particularly effective in correcting sagging corners of the mouth and reducing marionette lines, restoring a youthful and pleasant appearance to the face.
• Modeling and adding volume to the cheeks - Aptos Light Lift Needle 2G threads enable precise cheek modeling, restoring lost volume and improving facial proportions.
• Lifting and firming the skin of the neck and décolletage - Using Aptos threads in the neck and décolletage area results in significant skin firming, reducing sagging and improving skin tension, which is particularly important in combating signs of aging in these delicate regions.
• Improvement in skin structure through biorevitalization - Aptos threads, due to their polylactic acid content, not only mechanically lift tissues but also initiate regenerative processes in the skin, leading to its renewal and quality improvement.
• Natural rejuvenation effect without altering facial features - The Aptos thread lifting procedure allows for achieving a harmonious and natural rejuvenation effect without the risk of overcorrection or changing individual facial features.

Frequency of procedures

• The lifting effect typically lasts for about 2 years, depending on the patient's individual predispositions.
• The procedure can be repeated after this period or as needed to maintain the rejuvenating effect.

Post-procedural recommendations

During the first 2-3 weeks after the procedure, it is advised to:

• Avoid intense facial movements (e.g., wide smiles, yawning)
• Refrain from facial massages and cosmetic treatments
• Avoid strenuous exercises, fitness, and contact sports
• Avoid sauna, tanning beds, and intense heat exposure

Aptos Light Lift threads offer a wide range of correction and rejuvenation possibilities for various areas of the face and body, adapting to the patient's individual needs. The procedure combines precise tissue modeling with bio-stimulation, providing visible improvement in skin quality and facial contours. Their use allows for achieving natural, long-lasting effects with minimal surgical intervention.

Revolutionary minimally invasive lifting

Aptos Excellence is an advanced technology for facial and body reinforcement using bioabsorbable Caprolac threads developed by the Aptos brand - a leader in the field of lifting threads. With the new generation threads featuring modified protrusion structure, improved anchoring angles, and exceptional flexibility, it is possible to achieve an effect similar to surgical lifting - without surgery, incisions, and a long recovery period.

Innovative threads with microprominences and knots are designed specifically for delicate, challenging areas of the face and body - where the skin is thin and the fat tissue is scarce.

How does the procedure work?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically lasts from 20 to 40 minutes. Using mini cannulas with atraumatic tips, the threads can be inserted through a single invisible entry point, often within the hairline. The microprominences and knots anchor in the tissues, creating a "scaffolding" that lifts and supports the skin, restoring its tension and volume.

The threads are made of Caprolac - a material combining lactic acid (L-lactic) and caprolactone. They gradually absorb within 360 days, simultaneously stimulating the skin for intense regeneration and collagen production.

When to use Aptos Excellence threads?

The procedure using Aptos Excellence threads is recommended for individuals who:

• Want to improve skin tension in the face or body without surgery
• Have loose, thin skin and minimal fat tissue
• Require a strong yet minimally invasive lifting
• Seek a procedure with immediate and long-lasting effects
• Value natural rejuvenation and improved skin elasticity

Effects of the procedure

• Immediate lifting and skin smoothening effect - visible immediately after the procedure, comparable to surgical intervention
• Significant improvement in facial contour and lifting of sagging tissues
• Skin densification and firming of delicate skin structure - an ideal solution for thin, lax skin
• Improvement in skin elasticity and resilience - by stimulating collagen and elastin production
• Skin revitalization effect thanks to lactic acid - biostimulating and rejuvenating action
• Natural result without overemphasizing facial features
• No visible marks from insertion - due to atraumatic cannulas

Frequency of procedures

• The effects of lifting using Aptos Excellence threads typically last up to 2 years.
• The threads themselves absorb within approximately 12 months, but due to long-term skin regeneration stimulation, the visual effect can last much longer.
• The procedure can be repeated after this period or earlier as part of anti-aging preventive care.

Aptos Excellence is an innovative next-generation lifting thread that combines minimal invasiveness with maximum effectiveness. With advanced technology and thoughtful design, these threads allow for facial and body lifting even in the most delicate areas, maintaining full naturalness and short healing time.

Body Lifting and Sculpting Without Surgery

Aptos Excellence Body lifting threads are designed for body lifting, sculpting, and rejuvenation procedures. Unlike other threads available on the market that mainly focus on skin revitalization, Aptos Excellence Body threads are primarily used for tissue lifting. This is made possible by their unique, patented barbs, characteristic of the entire Excellence Visage line – awarded the Pearl of Aesthetic Dermatology 2013 in the category of "non-surgical lifting."

These barbs provide excellent tissue grip, even though the threads are inserted in a straight line. This allows for tissue movement and alignment to the correct, anatomically favorable position.

How Does the Procedure Work?

Aptos Excellence Body threads are implanted in a maximally comfortable and minimally invasive manner. The procedure is performed using blunt-tipped cannulas, avoiding tissue trauma. The threads are inserted only through entry points, eliminating the need for multiple skin punctures.

With a length of 25 cm, each thread can be tailored to specific treatment areas – both in smaller regions (like arms) and larger ones (such as thighs or abdomen). The thread material – Caprolac with polylactic acid – undergoes bioresorption within 12-18 months, activating tissue regeneration processes, collagen production, and skin structure reinforcement.

When to Use Aptos Excellence Body Threads

The Aptos Excellence Body procedure is recommended for individuals who:

• Experience skin laxity and tissue sagging on the body
• Are dealing with age-related or weight loss-related skin sagging
• Have reduced fat padding in critical areas
• Want to enhance their body appearance without surgery and with long-lasting effects
• Have thick skin, stretch marks, or visible cellulite

Effects of the Procedure

• Lifting and tightening of body tissues – threads move tissues to their correct anatomical position, producing a lifting effect comparable to surgery
• Sculpting and slimming of specific body areas – thanks to precise control of tissue lifting direction
• Improvement in skin firmness and elasticity – especially in areas where effective non-invasive methods were previously lacking
• Reduction of wrinkles and sagging – in areas like arms, thighs, abdomen, or above the knees
• Density and lifting of breasts – a natural effect without surgical intervention
• Skin firming in cellulite-prone and thickened areas – threads strengthen and tighten problematic areas
• Tissue revitalization through polylactic acid – the released component acts rejuvenating and regenerating
• Procedure safety and comfort – minimal invasiveness, no need for incisions, and quick return to regular activities
• Duration of effects – due to lifting and collagen-stimulating actions
