Aptos Threads

Aptos thread lifting procedure is normally performed under local anesthesia. It has the largest thread range and techniques on thread lifting in Australia. At least 2 months after the procedure, a connective tissue framework will be formed around the threads and the result can be assessed by then. The maximum result of Aptos threads depends from patient to patient as well as the method that the doctor has chosen. Thread lifting also helps to elevate various parts of the face and body without the need of having several incisions.

These threads are made of both absorbable and non-absorbable material which are (poly-L-lactic acid + caprolactone and polypropylene). Polylactic threads are used in medicines for many years and are non-allergic and fully absorbable, whereas polypropylene threads are used in surgery for how many years now. These threads help in rejuvenation and lifting.

Specially designed barbs can be found in Aptos threads that help with soft grip in surrounding tissues. Skin starts to produce more collagen once absorbable threads dissolve and gives longer-lasting results and also help improving colour, texture, hydration, and tone.
