APTOS® thread liftRedefine today. Regenerate for tomorrow.

The APTOS® double effect

A lifting effect visible from the treatment

Over time, the skin and tissues of the face can lose their natural support. The oval becomes less defined, the cheekbones seem less projected, the jawline softens and some areas look more relaxed.

APTOS® threads are designed to create targeted support under the skin. Thanks to their anchoring technology, they gently reposition the tissues and recreate more harmonious contours.

From the treatment itself, a lifting and defining effect can be seen, while the natural expression of the face is preserved.

Biostimulation that evolves over time

The beauty of APTOS® threads does not stop at the lifting effect.

The threads contain biostimulators that support the skin through a gradual regeneration process. Over the weeks, the skin can become firmer, denser, more supple and more radiant.

The result therefore evolves in two stages:

• A repositioning and support effect visible after the treatment.
• A gradual improvement in the quality and firmness of the skin.

This is what makes APTOS® threads a particularly interesting treatment for people looking for a natural, elegant and lasting result.

Areas that can be treated

Each treatment plan is personalized according to the structure of the face, the quality of the skin and the person’s aesthetic goals.

APTOS® threads can be used in particular to:

• Lift and redefine the cheekbones.
• Improve the appearance of the mid-face.
• Firm the oval of the face.
• Soften the appearance of jowls.
• Define the jawline.
• Improve laxity of the neck.
• Create a supporting effect at the brows, when indicated.
• Improve the overall harmony and balance of the face.

The treatment does not aim to transform a face. It aims instead to restore the support, contours and radiance that may have softened over time.

How the treatment unfolds

A tailored consultation

Everything begins with a personalized consultation. We take the time to assess your face, your proportions, the quality of your skin, the degree of laxity and your goals.

This step is essential to determine whether APTOS® threads are appropriate for you and to create a treatment plan that is realistic, safe and suited to your anatomy.

The day of the treatment

The treatment is performed under local anesthesia for your comfort.

The areas to be treated are carefully analyzed and marked, then the threads are inserted under the skin using fine cannulas. They are then positioned precisely to create the support and direction of lift desired.

The length of the appointment varies with the number of areas treated and the personalized plan, but you should generally allow about 60 to 90 minutes.

Results and evolution

A lifting effect can be visible as soon as the session ends. However, the result continues to evolve over the following weeks, as the tissues settle and biostimulation gradually acts in the skin.

You may notice:

• More defined facial contours.
• A more rested appearance.
• A better supported facial oval.
• Visually lifted cheekbones.
• Firmer, more radiant skin over time.
• A natural result that respects your features.

How long the results last can vary with the area treated, the quality of the skin, lifestyle, the natural aging process and each person’s individual response.

Recovery and aftercare

As with any aesthetic procedure, a recovery period is to be expected. Slight tenderness, a feeling of tightness, swelling, bruising or small temporary irregularities may appear in the days following the treatment.

Aftercare recommendations will be explained in detail at your appointment. In general, it is important to:

• Avoid touching, massaging or manipulating the treated areas.
• Limit very pronounced facial movements during the first days.
• Avoid intense physical exercise during the recommended period.
• Avoid facial massages and certain aesthetic treatments for a few weeks.
• Postpone non-urgent dental care according to the instructions you receive.
• Carefully follow the personalized recommendations of your professional.

Each person recovers at their own pace. A follow-up may be recommended to make sure everything is progressing as expected.

Is this treatment for you?

APTOS® threads may suit people who want to improve mild to moderate laxity, redefine certain contours of the face and gradually improve the quality of their skin.

They can be an excellent option if you are looking for:

• A non-surgical alternative to a facelift.
• A visible but natural result.
• Better definition of the oval and the jawline.
• A lifting effect on the cheekbones or mid-face.
• Skin that looks firmer, denser and revitalized.
• A personalized rejuvenation plan.

A consultation is nevertheless essential. Lifting threads are not suitable for every situation, particularly where there is very significant laxity, marked excess skin or certain medical conditions. We will assess with you the option best suited to your needs.
