Aptos Thread Lift

Aptos is a patented method of rejuvenation that uses threads to face lift technology. Successful use of this technique has been achieved in many countries around the world. Polypropylene or polylactic acid is what the threads are made of. Correcting the lines of the chin, cheekbones, forehead, and eyebrows, as well as the 'rings of Venus' on the neck, is something they can do. In addition, they fortify the subcutaneous layer to sustain soft tissues. Polypropylene threads are resistant to dissolution. The strongest subcutaneous framework for tissue support is formed by them. Polylactic acid sutures are of the self-resorbable type. Creating natural tissue support through the stimulation of collagen and hyaluronic acid is their advantage. The "Aptos" threads are unique. They have special notches on their entire surface. The threads can be gently moved and fixed in the desired position by using the notches. The result is thus preserved for a long time.

Varieties of "Aptos" threads

Like many other well-known cosmetic products, Aptos Thread Lift rejuvenation have separate types. Each is for a different area of treatment. The specialists of the Seline Clinic have successfully worked with all types of Aptos and have extensive documented experience in this field.

Needle

Aptos Needle is abarbed sutures with pointed ends, smooth, without notches. There are the following varieties: 4/0, 3/0, 2/0. The first one is used for correction of cheekbones and chin. The next two, in addition, help to restore a clear outline of the lower jaw area.

Wire

The so-called "wire scalpel". It is used to eliminate deep wrinkles on the forehead and interbrow space, nasolabial folds, "Venus rings" on the neck, and other skin structure defects.

Thread 2G

Thread made of polypropylene with notches, at the ends of which are paired needles, fastened with a temporary connection. Their peculiarity is in the method of insertion. A pair of needles is put under the skin at the same time, through a single puncture. Then, they are separated and directed to the desired area. It doesn't sound like much, but believe me, the procedure is completely comfortable for the patient thanks to anesthesia.

2G helps to correct the forehead and eyebrow area. Polypropylene thread, smooth, without notches.
