Aptos Thread Face Lift

The history of Aptos begins in 1996 when it introduced the first notched thread to the scientific world for use in facelift procedures. Thanks to this notched thread, doctors achieved the effect of plastic surgery without general anesthesia, incisions and long recovery periods. With the development of the first example of Aptos, dozens of face and body lift methods have emerged.

Aptos is a thread stretching method used by more than 10,000 certified doctors, with 18 patents from respected organizations in the world, consisting of more than 50 methods and more than 30 products. The basis of the method is based on fixing the soft tissue using special threads with different elements. Aptos is a long-term, minimally invasive method with immediate results, performed under local anesthesia in 20 minutes.

In addition to lifting, tightening and rejuvenating the skin, thanks to the synthesis of collagen and the increased microcirculation it creates; Depending on the thread combination used, it has a long- lasting effect between 1.5 and 3 years. With the combination of polylactic acid and caprolactam contained in the double-sided notched rope, the benefit it creates under the tissue; As it combines with the skin's perception of wound, its effect on the skin is doubled.

Excellence Method – Barbed absorbable threads for lift and volume.

Visage has opened a new page with its technology within the minimally invasive procedures applied by thread. The threads have a special notch structure. Each successive notch is in the opposite

direction from the previous one, allowing stronger hypodermic fixation (adhesion) and promoting the grouping of tissues in each microsection of the thread.

Aptos Thread Method – Absorbable and permanent threads with microscopic notches fixed on both sides of the needles.

The peculiarity of the Aptos Thread Method is that in this position the needle has a sharp point. After reaching the required depth, the needle is divided into two parts and applied parallel to each other.

The result is strong, stable and long-lasting, and more importantly, it can be applied without any incision on the skin. Aptos Thread Method is an easy to apply, safe and long-lasting method.
