Who Can Benefit
When skin has loosened enough that tightening alone is not enough, Aptos threads physically lift it back into place. As the threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen, so the skin keeps tightening for months.
- Loose skin along the jawline and lower face
- Sagging that HIFU alone has not improved enough
- Loss of firmness in the cheeks
- Patients who want an immediate lift without surgery
Aptos pairs well with HIFU, Fotona 4D or collagen stimulators such as AestheFill for longer-lasting firmness.
We postpone treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or with an infection in the area.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Aptos different from HIFU?
HIFU tightens the deep supporting layer gradually. Aptos threads lift the tissue straight away and then build collagen.
When will I see results?
Straight away, with gradual improvement over the following months.
How long do results last?
Typically 18 to 24 months.
Is there downtime?
Mild swelling, bruising or tightness for 3 to 7 days. Avoid opening the mouth wide, facial massage and strenuous exercise for 2 weeks.
