APTOS THREAD LIFTING

Innovative Aptos thread lifting is an injection technique that allows performing a non-surgical face and body lifting. At the same time its effectiveness is comparable to the results of plastic surgery.

Aptos threads are used to correct facial contours, eliminate wrinkles and sagging skin on the cheeks, nasolabial folds, chin, chest, abdomen, thighs and other areas.

The thinnest threads are inserted under the skin with the help of a special needle during the procedure. They create a supporting frame. It tightens and holds soft tissues and skin in this position. Gradually, collagen fibers are formed around the threads. This process increases the effectiveness of the procedure and improves the skin condition. At the same time the natural facial expressions are completely preserved and there are no traces of thread insertion.

Two types of threads are used for lifting: absorbable and non-absorbable. The first ones are made from biocompatible components that completely dissolve within 1-3 years. The main component of these threads is L-lactic acid. It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which provide firmness and elasticity of the skin. When the threads are absorbed, lactic acid is released into the skin cells, providing them with useful substances and slowing down the aging process.

Non-absorbable threads are made from surgical suture material. They are used in more complex cases, when the sagging of the skin is significant. These threads also enhance collagen synthesis. The effectiveness of the procedure is maintained for 5 years.

Special preparation for the procedure is not necessary. A specialist may recommend refusing from taking antiplatelet drugs (aspirin and others) and nutritional supplements, which affect blood clotting, 1 week before the procedure. If they are prescribed for medical reasons, you should consult your doctor before canceling them.

The plastic surgeon consults the patient before the procedure. The doctor examines the correction area, assesses the condition of the skin and determines which method will be most effective. The specialist also asks the patient about the cosmetic and surgical procedures performed earlier, the state of health and the presence of chronic diseases.

The doctor makes several marks on the skin before the lifting procedure. This marks show the way the threads will pass. Then the doctor treats the skin with an antiseptic and performs local anesthesia.

Threads are inserted with the help of a special needle - cannula. They easily pass under the skin, and after installation they are fixed motionless due to microground grooves.

After that the specialist can additionally treat the skin with an analgesic and anti-inflammatory medicine.

As a result the skin looks tightened, and wrinkles are smoothed out immediately after the procedure.

Contraindications for the procedure are absolute and relative. In the latter case, the procedure can be performed later or after special preparation. Contraindications for thread lifting are malignant neoplasms, exacerbation of chronic diseases, acute diseases (ARVI, flu, contagious diseases), autoimmune and systemic diseases and hepatitis, arterial hypertension, blood clotting disorders, mental disorders, inflammation and skin diseases at the area of the procedure.

Aptos thread lifting makes it possible to preserve and restore the youthfulness of the skin. Previously, such results were achievable only through plastic surgery.

We use the original tools, threads and products purchased directly from Aptos company representatives.
