- If you are under 40 years old and age-related changes are not yet pronounced, then Aptos absorbable sutures are recommended.

Before the procedure, our experts will evaluate the condition of your skin and recommend the most optimal version of threads for you – or, perhaps, prescribe another procedure.

The effect of thread lifting is comparable to a surgical lift, but there will be no scarring on the skin, you will not need to wear a special compression mask and go to dressings. Aptos filaments with microscopic notches that provide a secure fit inside the tissue, preventing any displacement.
Non-absorbable sutures are usually indicated for patients after 40 who have pronounced signs of a change in the shape of the face. Aptos threading will delight with its results for about 5 years.
Absorbable threads are made of caprolac, a material that completely dissolves within 12 months. Facelift with Aptos threads of this type provides an additional anti-aging effect due to polylactic acid. When the threads are absorbed, this acid starts the revitalization processes, contributing to the creation of a natural collagen frame, which prolongs the results of lifting and prevents the progression of age-related changes. Thread face lifting using absorbable materials is characterized by a validity period of up to 2 years.
The choice of threads depends on the age, area of correction and the wishes of the patient himself – the cost of a facelift for which Aptos threads are used depends on the same. The result of lifting will be visible immediately after the procedure, the full effect will appear after 2-3 weeks.
Threads for a facelift are made of polypropylene – a bio-compatible, inert material, which when introduced under the skin does not cause allergic reactions or rejection. Polypropylene materials have long been successfully used in ophthalmic and cardiac surgery. A facelift can be performed at different ages, depending on this factor, different types of threads can be installed on the patient, both non-absorbable and self-absorbable.
