Aptos thread lift is a non-surgical anti-aging treatment to achieve a younger look and revitalize the face. It is a well-known facial lifting method by using an implanted special thread beneath the skin. The thread is surrounded with a delicate scab in which the small tines of the thread can hold onto and fix its position. It is suitable for those who aim to get a younger appearance while improving skin quality.

Results are evident immediately and can gradually improve within months or several years after treatment. It also requires minimal downtime and there is no special preparation for the procedure.

Aptos thread lifting at our affiliated clinic is performed with local anesthesia, often with the use of sedative and painkiller. In the procedure, threads will be inserted gently into the soft tissue of the predetermined areas to be lifted. Although results can be seen immediately, the threads will continue to create a support scaffolding of collagen before dissolving in 1.5 to 2 years depending on the threads composition. This collagen formation will support the skin structure, increase skin firmness as well as improve the skin’s tone, texture and hydration.

Aptos thread lifting method is minimally invasive and leaves no scarring.
