APTOS Threads are a minimally invasive lifting treatment designed to rejuvenate the face by lifting sagging skin, restoring youthful contours, and smoothing fine lines without surgery, for a more natural appearance.
During the procedure, specialised threads are inserted beneath the skin to create a supportive structure that lifts, tightens, and redefines treated areas. There are two types of threads. Absorbable thread that dissolves naturally and trigger collagen and elastin production for extended results, and non-absorbable threads to provide a longer-lasting mechanical lift.
APTOS provides a subtle, natural, refreshed look without the long recovery of surgery, while a surgical facelift delivers a more dramatic, long-term result but involves incisions, scarring, and weeks of healing. APTOS Threads are ideal for patients seeking rejuvenation without committing to full surgery.
Most patients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable, but not painful. Local anaesthesia is used, and you may feel slight pulling or pressure as the threads are placed.
You will notice an instant lift immediately following the procedure. Over the next one to three months, the results continue to improve as collagen production increases, further enhancing skin texture, firmness, and overall lift. Depending on the type of threads used and individual skin condition, the results can last anywhere from one and a half to five years. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to extend and enhance the lifting effect over time.
Before the Treatment:
Prior to the procedure, it is recommended to avoid alcohol, Vitamin E, and blood-thinning medications for about one week. Your doctor may provide additional personalised preparation guidelines to ensure the best results.
APTOS Threads are made from high-quality medical materials and have a strong safety profile. The procedure is minimally invasive, does not require incisions, and is designed to work with the body’s natural healing processes. As absorbable threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, leaving behind firmer, tighter, and more youthfully structured skin. All treatments at Zen Clinic are performed following established safety standards to ensure optimal results and patient comfort.
