FAQ
Where can Aptos Thread Lifts be used?
Aptos thread lifts can be used as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with dermal fillers and muscle relaxing injections. Aptos can be used to treat various parts of the face and neck including the lower jaw, cheek, cheekbones, eyebrows, and nose.
Are the threads visible after the treatment?
No, following insertion the fine threads are completely under the subcutaneous layer of fat in your face and not visible.
How long do the results last?
The effects last up to 18-24 months. We will see you for a review at 2 weeks post treatment and 3-month post treatment.
How does the treatment work?
Aptos threads are made of a revolutionary new formula involving hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen which dissolve and help stimulate your skin’s own collagen & elastin production. The threads have a unique direction of barbs which anchoring to the soft tissues allowing for a strong and stable lift.
These threads are inserted under the skin using a fine needle – without the need for incisions – to elevate the sagging tissue and lift problem areas. Only a small local anaesthetic is needed at the entry and exit points of the threads. The treatment takes around 1.5 hours, with 15-20 minutes.
How long until I see the full results?
Following the initial lift of the skin and tissues which will be seen immediately, there will be a gradual improvement of the result over the first 12 weeks, as new collagen is formed, resulting in tighter, firmer and smoother skin.
Is recovery time needed?
Downtime after a thread lift treatment is minimal. However, as with all cosmetic procedures, you may experience some very slight bruising or swelling in the days following the procedure and some mild tension in the areas that have been elevated. During the first two weeks after treatment, you should not undergo dental surgery and you must avoid facial and beauty treatments. We recommend that you avoid any impact exercise for two weeks after the treatment and advise you to sleep on your back and slightly elevated during that time.
