APTOS threads are a popular choice for those looking to lift and tighten without surgery. ATPOS are resorbable surgical threads that can be used across the whole body to lift and tighten. The unique design of the APTOS threads enables a wide variety of ageing concerns to be addressed in clinic with minimal downtime.
The latest generation of APTOS threads contain a combination of well-known collagen stimulators including PLLA and PCL, alongside hyaluronic acid, HA. The combination of these bio-compatible and bio-stimulatory materials in the threads allows a long-lasting lift as well as significant skin rejuvenation in the areas treated by stimulating the production of both collagen and elastin.
Importantly, APTOS produces a wide range of different threads which give our doctors a huge amount of flexibility to address many aesthetic concerns.
APTOS are ideal for the treatment of moderate skin laxity of the subdermal tissue of the face and neck as well as:
A thread lift is a type of procedure which involves the insertion of temporary sutures and are used to produce a subtle but visible “lift” in the skin. While threads cannot replace surgery they will give patients a noticeable change in their appearance while also helping to improve skin quality and texture.

APTOS threads are used to lift and tighten the skin. The insertion of the threads will give an immediate lifting effect. Combined with this is a longer term collagen stimulation as the threads are absorbed by the body.
The threads work by renewing lost structure in the facial tissue. Multiple threads are inserted to create a network structure which can offset skin laxity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
A thread lift is ideal for those who do not want the downtime of a facelift. Patients who have light to moderate skin laxity can benefit the most. Suitability is best assessed by the doctor as the treatment is bespoke and can be tailored to suit most candidates.
The time of the procedure depends on the number of threads used but will typically take around 30 minutes to 1 hour.
The treatment is a one off with the results lasting around 12 and sometimes upto 18 months. In some instances the doctor might recommend a staged approach with a second treatment at 6 months.
With Dr K Regen threads downtime is around five days. Patients are advised to avoid makeup for 48 hours post-procedure.
Side effects are rare but can include irritation, infection or the sutures becoming visible under their skin. If you experience any issues please contact the clinic immediately.
With threads you will see an immediate lifting effect. Results will then improve further over the following few months as collagen production is stimulated.
A full programme of aftercare will be advised by your doctor.
