Aptos® threads – lifting and structural tissue support.

Aptos® are advanced lifting threads designed for long-lasting support and repositioning of tissues, with an additional biostimulatory effect.

Mechanism of action

• mechanical tissue lifting,
• fibroblast stimulation,
• collagen remodeling along the thread path,
• improved skin tension and structure.

Aptos® threads are used both on the face and selected body areas depending on clinical indications.

Characteristics of contouring procedures

• minimally invasive procedures,
• performed in an outpatient setting,
• possible immediate and/or gradual effect,
• preservation of natural facial expression,
• high safety profile with proper qualification.

Individual therapeutic approach

The choice of method (hyaluronic acid, hook threads, Aptos® threads or their combination) depends on:

• facial anatomy,
• degree of tissue laxity,
• skin quality,
• patient expectations,
• the physician’s clinical experience.

Combined therapies are often used to achieve a more harmonious and durable outcome.

Medical information

Facial contouring procedures are performed after medical qualification. The goal is to improve proportions and provide structural tissue support while respecting the patient’s natural features.

Facial contouring should be based on anatomy and tissue biomechanics—not aesthetic templates.

Revitalizing threads – biostimulation and skin-quality improvement

Revitalizing threads are a minimally invasive method used to improve skin quality, density and elasticity without a significant mechanical lifting effect. The procedure is aimed at biological stimulation of regenerative processes rather than tissue repositioning.

The procedure is based on implantation of absorbable biostimulatory threads, which act as a stimulus for dermal remodeling.

Mechanism of action

The effect is primarily biological and includes:

• fibroblast stimulation,
• induction of neocollagenesis and elastogenesis,
• improvement of extracellular-matrix structure,
• increased skin density,
• improved tension and elasticity.

Threads are gradually resorbed, while the biostimulatory effect can last longer than the material itself.

Clinical indications

Revitalizing threads may be considered in patients:

• with reduced skin quality and density,
• with mild skin laxity,
• with thin, lax or “tired” skin,
• for prevention of aging processes,
• as an adjunct to other regenerative therapies.

Most common areas:

• face (especially cheeks and jawline),
• neck,
• decolletage,
• selected body areas with reduced skin quality.

Procedure profile

• minimally invasive procedure,
• no significant volumizing effect,
• no mechanical lifting,
• short downtime,
• can be performed in series.

The clinical effect builds gradually as collagen remodels.

Revitalizing threads in combined therapies

Revitalizing threads often serve as:

• an adjunct to volumizing treatments,
• part of biostimulatory therapies (PLLA, CaHA, polynucleotides),
• support for energy-based technologies (RF, HIFU, Endolift®),
• part of comprehensive regenerative and anti-aging protocols.

Safety and qualification

The procedure requires:

• medical qualification,
• knowledge of anatomy and skin layers,
• individualized selection of thread type and number.

With proper medical standards, the procedure has a high safety profile.

Medical information

Revitalizing threads are used to biologically improve skin quality rather than mechanically change its position. The procedure is performed after medical qualification in accordance with aesthetic and regenerative medicine standards.

Revitalizing threads are a skin biostimulation tool aimed at long-term remodeling and improvement of tissue quality.
