What’s Aptos thread lifting?
APOTS is a non-invasive thread and method developed from the pioneer manufacturer in Germany. The threads are composed of Poly-L-lactic acid and e-Caprolactone, both of which have been used safely in surgery for many years. They are specially designed with barbs that serve the dual purpose of lifting and revitalizing the skin. When inserted into the subdermal tissue, these barbs lift the skin, creating fibrosis and stimulating the production of new collagen. This collagen provides support for the soft tissues, resulting in an immediate improvement in facial contour. The lifting effect can last up to 18 to 24 months depending on the individual and the specific threads used.
APTOS thread lifting is often used to address sagging cheeks, jowls, eyebrows, neck, and other areas of the face and body.
The treatment is suitable for those who want to:
- Correct the double chin and create a more defined jawline
- Fill the sunken, lowered, or disappearing cheeks
- Lifting the drooping corners of the mouth
- Lifting the eyebrow or upper eyelids
- Smooth fine wrinkles
- Improvement of skin tone and elasticity
- Create a more asymmetry facial
The procedure is generally considered a safe procedure with minimal downtime and fewer risks compared to traditional surgical facelifts. However, like any medical procedure, it carries some potential risks and complications, including infection, bruising, thread migration, and asymmetry. If you are considering a thread lift, it’s important to consult with a qualified and experienced medical professional before the treatment.

FAQ: APTOS Thread Lift
An APTOS thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses specially designed threads to lift and tighten sagging skin, providing a youthful appearance without the need for extensive surgery.
Ideal candidates for APTOS thread lifting typically exhibit mild to moderate sagging, fine lines, wrinkles, or drooping eyebrows. If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution to enhance your facial contours, consider scheduling a consultation with our experts.
While many can benefit from a thread lift, it may not be suitable for individuals with significant sagging or excess skin. Unlike a traditional facelift, a thread lift does not remove loose skin or reposition underlying fat, tissue, or muscle.
The results of an APTOS thread lift can last up to two years, depending on factors such as the type of threads used, your skin type, and lifestyle. The lifting effect is subtle and develops gradually, with optimal results visible a few weeks to months after the procedure.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during and after the treatment. APTOS thread lifts typically do not leave noticeable scars, making it a favorable option for those concerned about scarring.
Yes, APTOS absorbable threads gradually dissolve in the body. They have been used safely in surgical procedures for over 30 years, leaving behind a supportive scaffold of new collagen and elastin that rejuvenates the skin.
Common side effects of APTOS thread lifts may include mild pain, swelling, bruising, and skin irregularities. These effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days.
APTOS threads offer longer-lasting results compared to PDO threads, primarily due to their unique barbed design. APTOS threads have textured surfaces with barbs along their length, providing better grip and support for lifting.
Following your APTOS thread lift, it’s important to avoid hot foods and drinks for the first three days. Refrain from strenuous activities and exposing the treated areas to heat (like saunas or sunbathing) for two weeks. If you experience unusual symptoms, consult with our healthcare professionals.
