aptos threads (antiptotic system), are special lift-suspension threads to confront the sagginess of face and body anatomic structure.
they have small spikes lengthwise so as to hold the tissue we wish to lift. simultaneously, they activate the natural reconstruction mechanisms, making our skin firmer and more elastic.
they differ by far to other threads, concerning their composition, their function and the results' duration as well.
aptos threads give us solutions for milder tissue sagginess but also for more serious laxity, for whose correction, the patients do not wish surgical treatment.
the threads’ setting lasts almost 1 hour. after therapy there is a mild edema for a few days. some ecchymosis may appear which can be covered with make-up until they are absorbed in the following 10-15 days. we need to be careful, avoid hard foods and extreme expressions such as intensive laughter, initially.
the results are immediately obvious and they last from 6 months to 1 1/2 year, depending on the anatomical region, the skin quality and the compliance with the doctor’s instructions.
