What you need to know about the non-surgical treatment
As the effects of gravity become more noticeable on our faces, the supporting tissue of the cheeks weakens and starts to sag, facial fat is lost, the jaw line that used to be firm and tight forms jowls at the edges of the mouth that drift down towards the chin, and the lower face and neck sag.This sagging or drooping ac – tion of the tissue is considered by doc – tors as ptosis. Traditionally, the tendency for sagging would lead most people to a cosmetic surgeon in search of a facelift; however, there is now a less invasive procedure available which can lift, con – tour and suspend the sagging tissues of the face, neck and body in those people who need only little to moderate rejuve – nation. Thread lifting is a procedure which in – volves elevating various parts of the face and body using specially designed threads without having to make incisions as during the conventional face lift. Af – ter the procedure skin starts to produce more collagen and elastin which gives a longer-lasting result – besides lifting, threads improve skin tone, texture, color and hydration. Results are evident im – mediately after the procedure and can last from 1,5 to 5 years, depending on the thread composition.
Aptos – 4 types of threads
Bidirectionalthreads
The thread has opposing bidirectional barbs situated along the entire length, which help to adhere to tissue underneath the skin.
Multidirectionalthreads
Multidirectional barbs situated along entire length, which help to adhere to tissue underneath the skin.
Spring
threads
The thread has a smooth surface. The shape of the thread has been modified mechanically to achieve spring-spiral-like look. Due to the special form, springs enable to elevate ptotic soft tissues of mimically active zones.
Twisted
threads
Twisted pair threads without barbs. The Nano Vitis suture untwists within 10 to 15 days and thus increases in volume by 2.5-3 times by dividing into two sutures and maintaining space between them to prevent tissue ptosis.
Procedure
Applying Aptos threads takes around 20 minutes in a treatment room.
Most patients can resume work the same day after the procedure. For patients who have multiple threads inserted, there can be more discomfort.The treatment will be adapted to your preferences and can be combined with other aesthetic procedures.Once the suture is applied, the polylactic acid acts on the deeper layers of the skin and naturally stimulates new collagen production in the skin. This action, which continues over time, helps increase the volume of sagging areas, restores v shape, slimmer contour to the face gradually and naturally.Aptos thread also helps with age maintenance, prevent droopy skin around mid to lower face.
The regenerative effect is gradual and happens naturally in the next few months post treatment.
