Aptos Threads

Aptos® Threads provide a non-surgical facelift which can visibly reduce loose and saggy skin.

Small suture threads with microscopic cogs are fed into place by a needle.  The cogs attach themselves to the underside of the skin and after about six weeks fibrous tissue grows around them, contracting the skin and making it look firmer.

·  No scars

·  Less Invasive 

·  Minimal discomfort

·  Quick recovery, patients may return to work in less than a week

This procedure is safe, quick, and easy to perform. Performed under local anaesthesia and if desired, light IV sedation, the patient remains awake and alert. Using a needle, the Aptos® Threads are inserted into the subcutaneous fat, at a required depth, along the contours that are marked prior to the procedure. 

The Aptos® Thread procedure will only provide a mild tightening of facial skin and is not a substitute for a real facelift.

Aptos® Threads are suitable for people with -

- mild to moderate sagging of the soft tissues of the face and neck
- premature ageing and sun damage
- weakly pronounced aesthetic contours
- a flaccid, flat face

Average Price Range: $2200-$3300
