APTOS THREADS
Defined
: |
This
is one of the new promising methods of “FACE LIFT” without any Incision
(CUT), Stitches and also does not have a Down Time Effect on the
Individual. It can be performed on individuals of all ages and even on
those patients who are otherwise unfit for surgery – revolutionary
indeed ! APTOS THREAD process does away with the
traditional facelift procedure involving an incision / surgery and
removal of skin, fat and tissue and using fillers.
The method is simple
and long lasting. Let us understand this relatively new procedure. Aptos
Thread Lift method is revolutionary in combating signs of aging.
Special
unidirectional cogged / spiked threads are called APTOS THREADS. These
are made from “Polypropylene”, same material that is used for making
surgical sutures.
When these fine
threads are inserted at different angles under the skin using a fine
hollow needle the cogs / spikes open up forming a barbed structure,
which in turn forms a formidable support system for the tissue & the
skin besides acting as a filler. All these result in lifting and
tightening of sagging foreheads, brows and cheeks, neck.

Treatment
: |
Simply put –
collapsed APTOS THREADS are put in place at strategic places and angles
under the skin using a hollow needle, which is removed once the APTOS
THREADS have been put at designated places. The procedure is somewhat
similar to receiving a simple injection under the skin. Once these APTOS
THREADS are in place the spikes covering the length of the thread open
up forming a full barbed support system for the skin / tissue. The
support system not only mimics the positive effect of any filler but
also grabs and holds the skin in a tighter and more youthful position –
Result is a pleasant youthful appearance.
If required APTOS
THREADS can be removed anytime.
The APTOS THREAD LIFT
treatment can be combined with a suitable other rejuvenation treatments
like Microdermabrasion, IPL, Lasers, Botox etc. One can expect
spectacular results out of these.
