Mesh Threads
About
One of the first visible signs of skin aging is the appearance of wrinkles on the face. As the skin ages, it loses elasticity, the amount of fat and collagen decreases, and the facial muscles lose tone and partially atrophy. Wrinkles become more pronounced, particularly around the eyes and mouth, and the cheeks lose their fullness. The face appears more tired and relaxed, losing its fresh and youthful look. In recent years, aesthetic medicine has achieved remarkable advancements.
Results that were once only achievable through surgical procedures can now be attained with non-invasive treatments that are painless and require minimal recovery time. While surgical techniques are very effective for correcting sagging skin in the middle and lower parts of the face, the increasing demand for non-surgical or minimally invasive treatments has recently been addressed with the use of polydioxanone (PDO) threads as a new and quick method for lifting the face.
The Aptos thread treatment achieves results similar to a facelift, often with better preservation of a natural look. This treatment can be combined with dermal fillers to enhance the facial contouring effect. Aptos threads use specially designed biodegradable fibers to lift, rejuvenate, and tighten the skin. The material is biologically degradable and does not worsen the condition of the face. Aptos threads have the strongest effect on stimulating the production of new collagen and increasing blood circulation in the skin, further promoting collagen development and skin rejuvenation. The method is 100% natural as it leverages the body's own capabilities to create new collagen, resulting in natural-looking results.
Candidate
The Aptos thread treatment is primarily recommended for individuals who want to maintain a natural appearance without undergoing a facelift or Botox treatment. After an Aptos thread procedure, facial expressions remain intact. The method is suitable for both men and women, and it is generally recommended for people aged 35 to 65, depending on the condition of the skin.
Preparation
Before the treatment, an anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area on the face, and in some cases, local anesthesia is used.
Treatment
After the threads are applied, the needle is removed while the threads remain in the desired area of the tissue. Using a special technique, Aptos threads are placed in a way that creates a network to better induce collagen production, thereby enhancing the effect, regeneration, and tightening of the skin. The duration of the procedure varies depending on the area treated and the number of threads used; the optimal duration is between 30 to 60 minutes. The procedure is very straightforward and minimally invasive, so any potential side effects are rare and brief. Immediately after the application, patients may experience a slight tightening in the treated area.
Result
The results of the Aptos thread treatment depend on the type, length, and thickness of the threads used. Longer and thicker threads achieve better effects on the skin. The number of threads applied does not necessarily impact the outcome—if high-quality threads are used, applying two to six threads on one side of the face is usually sufficient. Results are visible immediately after the treatment and improve over time. The longevity of the results is individual. Depending on the skin condition and application area, the manufacturer indicates that the average duration of results is about 15 to 20 months, though variations may occur.
