Facial Skin Lifting and Contour Correction with APTOS Threads

Aptos are patented, high-quality specialized surgical threads designed for facial skin lifting and contour correction. This procedure is an alternative to plastic surgery – minimally invasive, delivering natural-looking results. These specialized medical Aptos threads lift the facial skin and elevate sagging facial tissues. The Aptos Facelift procedure restores skin firmness, provides a lifting effect, and enhances youthful appearance.

What Are Aptos Surgical Threads and Why Choose Them for Face Lifting?

Facial lifting and contour correction with Aptos threads offers multiple advantages:

  • a safe and non-traumatic procedure;

  • immediate initial results and high effectiveness;

  • a simple technique with minimal invasiveness;

  • predictable outcomes, as threads are placed precisely into targeted problem areas.

Which Face Areas Can Be Corrected with Aptos Threads?

  • Eyebrows – lifts asymmetric or drooping brows;

  • Cheek area – restores volume and elevates sagging cheeks;

  • Lifts soft tissues in the mid-face and lower face regions;

  • Marionette lines correction – reduces wrinkles and restores skin elasticity.

How Do Aptos Threads Work for Facial Lifting?

The doctor marks the thread insertion points in the targeted problem areas. The threads are inserted using a special cannula and attached to the underlying tissues without causing additional trauma. The micro-barbs secure the thread in a predetermined position. As the threads dissolve, polylactic acid actively stimulates new collagen production, forming new collagen fibers around each thread. This intense collagen synthesis is the key factor in contour correction.

At What Age Can Aptos Facelift Procedures Be Performed?

We recommend the procedure for individuals aged 35 to 60. The earlier it is performed, the more effective the results. This treatment also works as a preventive method, helping delay or avoid more invasive surgical interventions. Previously, facelift surgeries were performed from the age of 40, but Aptos threads allow us to postpone this to 50–60 years.

When Can I Return to Work or Normal Activities afeter Aptos Facelift procedure?

You may return to work 2–3 days after the procedure.

Results After the Aptos Face Lifting Procedure

Initial results are visible on the first day after thread insertion. The skin in problem areas becomes firmer and tighter. The final results appear after 2–3 weeks. Wrinkles are smoothed, the corners of the lips and eyes lifted, and skin tone and elasticity improve. The face looks noticeably rejuvenated.

The lifting effect can last from 2 to 5 years.

How Many Procedures of Aptos Facelift Procedure Are Required?

Usually, one procedure is enough to achieve visible facial contouring and desired results.

How Long Does the Aptos Facelift Procedure Take?

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and, with preparation included, lasts around 90 minutes.

What Aftercare After Aptos Facelift Is Required Following the Procedure?

After the treatment, certain aftercare measures are recommended to ensure the threads remain in place and do not shift. It is important to minimize facial movements. Since the barbs must hold the elevated tissues, strong facial expressions such as chewing or laughing should be limited. Try to avoid sleeping on your side, avoid pressure on the face, wide mouth opening, and certain sports activities. Your doctor will provide full aftercare recommendations.

Can Aptos Threads Be Combined with Other Aesthetic Procedures?

Yes, Aptos Facelift can be combined with hyaluronic acid injections, botulinum toxin treatments, dermal fillers, Fraxel Dual fractional skin rejuvenation, and other innovative aesthetic procedures.

We Present a NEW Procedure – the Highly Popular, Innovative, High-Focused Ultrasound Technology: ULTHERA!

Available at ERA ESTHETIC Laser Dermatology Clinics in Vilnius, Kaunas, and Klaipėda

Ultrasound Lifting of Skin, Subcutaneous Fat, and the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS)

The procedure is performed using therapeutic lines after marking the treatment area on the face and neck. For each line, a precise depth is selected where energy will be delivered to form thermal coagulation points, causing coagulation of old cells. Surrounding tissues remain unaffected, ensuring high-quality cell regeneration and new collagen synthesis.

ULTHERA is the gold standard of HIFU technology – it tightens, lifts, and firms the skin, delivering a visible rejuvenating effect.
