Aptos Visage threads are an advanced cosmetic material that allows you to achieve an amazing effect of radical rejuvenation. This thread lifting will help you avoid surgery and restore youthful and fresh skin. The unique material was developed in Russia more than 10 years ago, but it is still actively used not only in our country, but throughout the world.
If you want to stop the inevitable process of fading of your facial skin and restore its elasticity and beauty, if you are afraid to go under the surgeon’s knife, non-surgical lifting using Aptos Visage monofilament will help remove the signs of aging without unpleasant consequences and a long rehabilitation period.
Benefits of lifting with Aptos Visage threads
- Features of the material . For the production of absorbable threads, caprolact with the addition of L-lactic acid is used. After this cosmetic material is introduced into problem areas, it remains there for a year and then dissolves without a trace. It happens that the resulting effect lasts not a year, but two. The fact is that new connective tissue begins to form around the threads, providing additional natural support. Due to the progressive process of filling tissues with lactic acid, the effect of biorevitalization is prolonged.
- Special profile. Cosmetic threads have knots or serifs in their structure that perfectly hold tissue in place. It is thanks to these features that the highest quality and most effective lift is obtained. In addition, the structure of the threads triggers the body’s production of natural collagen and elastin.
- Instrumental intervention is minimal . The threads are quite long. They are inserted into problem areas with cannulas, making only a small, unnoticeable puncture.
- The method is reliable and safe. The procedure has been officially registered and verified by the Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare (Roszdravnadzor). Aptos threads are allowed to be used in the cosmetic field for the purpose of tightening the skin, starting the revitalization process, as well as in reinforcing soft tissues of the body.
The result will be noticeable immediately after the end of the session. You will see that problem areas have become smooth, wrinkles have disappeared, the skin has acquired additional tone and has become elastic and youthful as before. In addition, there will be a clear improvement in the condition of the tissues around the lips and eyes - they will be significantly tightened, making the face beautiful and attractive.
Will the Aptos facelift look artificial?
One of the “fears” of patients is that after the procedure the face will look overtightened, with visible traces of the intervention. Whereas the main expectation is to achieve the effect of natural rejuvenation.
There is no need to worry about this if you are in the reliable and professional hands of an experienced, qualified cosmetologist. During your consultation, the specialist will determine whether this procedure is indicated in your particular case and tell you what effects you can expect. Suitable threads or their combination are selected individually, taking into account the severity and types of aesthetic defects, anatomical and genetic characteristics of the person.
Implantation of threads is performed in the upper layers of the skin, without damaging blood vessels and facial nerves. After the lift, natural facial expressions are completely preserved. There are no scars or scars left on the skin. Implanted threads are invisible on the face. Patients quickly get used to them and do not feel any discomfort.
Who should use Aptos Visage threads?
These products are widespread in the domestic cosmetic market, so they are used to eliminate many problems, such as:
- insufficient production of natural collagen and elastin by the body (due to age), which negatively affects the condition of the skin;
- presence of a double chin;
- the appearance of deep nasolabial folds;
- changes in facial contours, sagging cheeks;
- drooping corners of the eyes and lips, giving the face a dissatisfied and angry expression;
- the presence of deep wrinkles on the forehead.
Aptos Visage threads help solve various cosmetic problems in a non-surgical way. Thread lifting is necessary for preventive purposes. Often in the early stages of aging, the procedure helps prevent sagging of the lower areas of the face due to hereditary predisposition. As a rule, women who are afraid of surgery turn to this method.
It does not matter how old the patient is, since reinforcement with Aptos materials is carried out if there are certain indications. At any age, young (25–45 years) or mature (45–60 years), the procedure is in demand. In youth, the first signs of aging need to be eliminated, while older women will have to correct more significant deficiencies.

If it is not yet time to undergo plastic surgery, and alternative non-surgical methods are no longer so effective, cosmetologists believe that in this case it is correction with Aptos threads that will help.
This lifting allows you to make the skin texture even, tighten the oval of the face, and eliminate other defects.
The result of the manipulation is visible immediately, and the rehabilitation after it is short. Over time, the effect of the procedure intensifies and manifests itself more significantly: the process of stimulating tissues to self-heal and return to a youthful state begins.
Recommendations for using Aptos threads:
- if the patient is under forty, the use of absorbable and non-absorbable material is allowed;
- clients who are 40–50 years old are recommended to use non-absorbable threads, as this material gives a longer lasting effect;
- aged patients over 50 years old undergo a lift using a technique involving 0.5 cm incisions.
Both women and men can use this method of rejuvenation.
Important information! The optimal effect can be achieved by combining cosmetic procedures with the use of Aptos threads and other procedures: peeling, injections.
How is reinforcement done with Aptos Visage threads?
- At the preparatory stage, you should consult a doctor. The specialist carries out an examination, then during the conversation finds out whether there are contraindications to the procedure. After this, the stages of the operation are developed and the optimal Aptos material is selected.
- Before the procedure, you need to monitor your health and cleanliness of your skin. It is recommended to stop taking medications that affect blood quality characteristics approximately 1–2 weeks in advance. You should not drink alcoholic beverages or smoke. The rehabilitation period directly depends on whether the patient adhered to the principles of a healthy lifestyle before and after surgery.
- The introduction of suture materials does not require the intervention of a surgeon, as it is a minimally invasive technique. Before introducing threads, the cosmetologist cleanses the skin using an antiseptic. This operation is slightly painful, so it is treated with a local anesthetic. An indispensable condition is sterility, as well as the patient’s written consent to the intervention.
- Depending on the type of material used, there are different ways of introducing it: with a double-edged needle or a blunt cannula. First, the places where the punctures will be made are marked and guide lines are drawn. The material is introduced from the bottom up to tighten sagging tissues and tighten the facial frame. The most problematic areas are treated first, and then the secondary ones.
Important! Only new packages of aptose materials are used, opened immediately before the start of the operation. To avoid possible complications, be sure to follow everything your doctor does.
- Having placed the threads under the skin, the cosmetologist tightens them to achieve the desired effect. The remaining free ends are trimmed. With the help of suture material, which is held tightly inside the epidermis, the soft tissues are provided with the necessary support.
At the end of the procedure, an antiseptic is applied to the skin. To avoid negative reactions after using Aptos Visage threads, you need to use a sterile compress with a cooling effect. In addition, you need to buy a regenerating cream and apply it to problem areas.
- The entire installation session of Aptos threads lasts from 20 to 60 minutes. However, if larger areas need to be treated, 2 hours may be required. After cosmetic surgery, a specialist examines the skin and talks about the rules, the observance of which will contribute to the speedy restoration of tissue. The doctor sets a date for the follow-up examination, and the patient goes home. Rest is recommended for the first 24 hours after the procedure.
Rehabilitation and care after the procedure
In most cases, after surgery to introduce Aptos threads, rehabilitation as such is not required. For each person, the process of tissue restoration proceeds individually. It should be noted that if the manipulation was performed at a young age and the patient strictly adhered to the recommendations, then the rehabilitation period is shorter.

If bruises and swelling appear, cooling compresses will help get rid of them.

- apply vigorous pressure to the skin (for example, rub or knead);

You need to take the choice of a doctor seriously so that the result is of high quality. A prerequisite is that the cosmetologist has a certificate of completed training in working with Aptos threads. The doctor performing this complex cosmetic intervention must have the necessary knowledge and experience. You can save on lifting costs by acting as a model in training sessions.
What is the difference between mesothreads and Aptos Visage threads?
Aptos threads are preferable to mesothreads. After all, after the introduction of Aptos, tissue restoration will take less time due to the small amount of introduced material. The result of a mesothread lift does not last long (several months), so you will have to visit a cosmetologist much more often.
Is physical activity allowed after a facelift using Aptos Visage threads??
All physical activity after surgery should be limited for a month. Only walking is allowed.
What recommendations can be given to people who have undergone this manipulation?
During the operation to introduce threads, the patient is in a supine position. As soon as the client changes position, the result will become noticeable. But this is a mechanical effect, because the tissues of the face, moving upward, appear to be suspended on notches.
During the first days after surgery, active facial expressions are not recommended. Try to keep a calm face, then the implantation of threads will go faster and better. In addition, intense facial expressions can cause pain. Be patient a little, and after a month you will see excellent results - your skin will look significantly younger.
