Procedures During the Treatment

Your visit is designed to be simple, comfortable, and treatment will be done by our professional nurse team so you can feel confident every step of the way.
01

Consultation & Mapping

Your provider will assess your facial structure and mark the precise entry points for the threads to ensure optimal lifting and symmetry tailored to your unique goals.

02

Local Anesthesia

We apply a local anesthetic to the treatment area to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible, minimizing any potential sensation during the thread insertion.

03

Precision Placement

Specialized threads are gently inserted into the deeper layers of the skin using a fine cannula, allowing the provider to physically lift and reposition the tissue.

What is Aptos Visage Excellenceâ„¢ Thread Lift?

Aptos Visage Excellenceâ„¢ represents a significant advancement in non-surgical lifting technology. These threads utilize a specialized P(LA/CL) blend of polylactic acid and caprolactone to provide an immediate mechanical lift while triggering long term collagen production. The patented multidirectional barb configuration allows these threads to anchor securely within the subcutaneous tissue for 360 degree support. This results in a much more stable and durable contour than what is typically achieved with traditional PDO threads.

How Does the Treatment Work

The treatment utilizes multidirectional anchoring to effectively redefine facial features. Once inserted, the spirally arranged barbs grip and reposition sagging fat pads to a more youthful location. Because P(LA/CL) dissolves slowly over eighteen to twenty four months, it triggers a sustained biological response that creates a dense network of Type I and Type III collagen. This internal biological scaffold maintains skin elasticity and firmness long after the threads have been naturally absorbed by your body.

Is the Treatment Safe?

Thread lifting with Aptos Visage Excellence is a health authority cleared procedure performed by our highly experienced medical team. We prioritize sterile techniques and use high quality biocompatible P(LA/CL) materials to ensure the highest standards of patient safety throughout the entire process.

While the procedure is minimally invasive, it is normal to experience temporary side effects as the body begins its natural healing and collagen production phase. These effects are typical for most patients and generally resolve within a one to two week period without the need for additional medical intervention.

Common Post Treatment Reactions

Patients may experience manageable downtime following the procedure. Common temporary effects include mild pain, swelling, redness, and a localized feeling of tightness. Some patients notice minor bruising or temporary asymmetry as the tissue settles.

To ensure safety, apply cold packs hourly on day one and manage discomfort with Tylenol as directed. It is essential to avoid intense heat, heavy exercise, and dental work for three weeks to allow the Aptos threads to remain fully stabilized.

Your health is our priority. While complications are rare, please contact our clinic if you experience a fever, severe or worsening pain, or persistent redness and swelling that does not improve after fourteen days. We are here to support your recovery.

Facelift Surgery vs Thread Lift

Surgical facelifts require invasive incisions and general anesthesia, involving significant tissue manipulation that leads to extensive swelling, visible scarring, and a long, often painful recovery period.
Our approach (Thread Lift) uses dissolvable threads to gently reposition tissue through tiny entry points, creating a natural lift with minimal downtime and a comfortable recovery that avoids the risks of major surgery.
