Refresh the contours that frame your face with a subtle lift tailored to you. Aptos threads focus on mild tissue descent, bringing definition back to selected areas while respecting the shape of your cheeks, jawline and other features for an appearance that remains naturally yours.
What is an Aptos thread lift?
An Aptos thread lift places lifting threads beneath the skin to support and reposition selected facial tissue. The placement pattern follows the areas of descent, with a gradual collagen response around the threads.
When do you choose this treatment?
Consider Aptos threads for mild tissue descent and reduced facial definition. Your examination establishes the areas where thread support fits your anatomy.
Safety of APTOS threads
Your clinician assesses tissue thickness, facial movement and previous procedures before planning thread placement. Risks include infection, persistent dimpling, asymmetry, visible threads and nerve or vessel injury. Recovery and options for correcting a complication are discussed before treatment.
Swelling, bruising, tenderness and temporary dimpling may occur. Other risks include infection, persistent asymmetry, visible or palpable threads, migration and nerve injury. Occasionally, correction or thread removal is necessary, and a surgical lift may still be needed later.
Treatment process
Here’s what to expect at each stage, from your consultation to your follow-up.
02
Preparation for treatment
The planned treatment area is marked, disinfected and numbed with local anaesthetic. We check your comfort and explain the next steps before placement.
03
Aptos Threads treatment
The selected Aptos threads are introduced through planned entry points to support the assessed tissue. Position and symmetry are checked without aiming for excessive tension.
04
Result review
We check symmetry and the entry points, then explain recovery and movement precautions. A follow-up appointment allows the result and healing to be reviewed.
Before and aftercare
Before the treatment
Tell us about previous threads, fillers, surgery, allergies and medicines. Discuss any skin or dental infection before attending. Do not stop prescribed medication on your own. Plan recovery time and mention upcoming dental work or other facial procedures.
After the treatment
Avoid pressure, facial massage and vigorous activity for the period advised. Handle your face gently and follow guidance on sleeping position and facial movement. Contact the clinic for worsening pain, increasing redness, discharge, visible threads or persistent unevenness.
Results
An initial lifting effect is visible straight away, with the repositioned tissue settling into its contour over 4-8 weeks. The combined lifting and collagen-support effect commonly lasts around 12-24 months.

Find direct answers about Aptos Threads, suitability, results, and aftercare.
Threads support and reposition mildly descended tissue. The pattern follows your anatomy and the areas where this approach can create a balanced lift.
Appointments usually take 60-90 minutes. An early change is usually visible immediately. Some lifting is visible immediately, while the settled result develops over 4-8 weeks. Benefits commonly last around 12-24 months, although individual response varies. Repeat treatment is planned after reviewing your response.
Discomfort is typically rated 2 out of 10. Local anaesthesia is used for the procedure. Social downtime is commonly 5-10 days. Swelling, bruising, tightness or dimpling can occur, and light activity may resume earlier while strenuous exercise and strong facial movements remain restricted.
