Initial consultation
We assess facial anatomy, skin quality and tissue laxity. The discussion covers your goals, previous procedures and whether threads or another approach would be suitable.

NATURAL. SUBTLE. YOU.
Lift and refine facial contours with Aptos threads tailored to your features.
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.

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.

Consider Aptos threads for mild tissue descent and reduced facial definition. Your examination establishes the areas where thread support fits your anatomy.

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.
Here’s what to expect at each stage, from your consultation to your follow-up.

We assess facial anatomy, skin quality and tissue laxity. The discussion covers your goals, previous procedures and whether threads or another approach would be suitable.

The planned treatment area is marked, disinfected and numbed with local anaesthetic. We check your comfort and explain the next steps before placement.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness, dimpling or unevenness can occur. These effects usually improve as the tissues settle.

Treatment can be coordinated with injectables or skin-quality treatments after the threads have settled. Your clinician plans the sequence around healing and recovery.
