Cleared & CE-Marked

Instant Visible Lift

Results appear immediately on the treatment table — no waiting weeks for your investment to reveal itself. Walk in, walk out transformed.

Fine-gauge threads physically reposition descended tissue the moment they are placed, providing an immediate mechanical lift visible from the very first session.

Immediate onset

FDA-Cleared Technology

Aptos threads carry CE marking and FDA clearance — the highest international benchmarks for safety and clinical efficacy in medical aesthetics.

Manufactured from USP-grade poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL), the threads are fully biodegradable and metabolised by the body within 12–18 months.

Clinically validated

Zero Downtime

Return to your calendar the same day. No general anaesthetic, no compression garments, no weeks of bruising. Lunch-hour luxury that fits your life.

Performed under local anaesthesia, the procedure is entirely ambulatory. Most clients resume social engagements within 24–48 hours with only minor transient swelling.

Same-day recovery

Results That Improve Over Time

Unlike fillers that simply add volume, Aptos threads trigger a cascade of natural collagen synthesis — meaning your result looks better at 6 months than at 6 days.

The thread scaffold stimulates fibroblast activity and neo-collagenesis for 12–18 months post-treatment. Tissue firmness and skin texture continue to improve throughout this period, with results lasting up to 3 years.

Progressive enhancement

Unmistakably Natural

Precision thread placement follows your facial anatomy exactly — lifting what has descended, never adding what was never there. Refined. Recognisable. You.

Thread vectors are mapped to anatomical retaining ligaments rather than surface landmarks, preserving natural facial dynamics and expression while restoring youthful contours.

Anatomy-first approach

Collagen Regeneration

The patented Aptos bidirectional barb design anchors tissue while creating a sustained regenerative signal — your own biology doing the work of renewal.

Aptos Excel threads feature micro-notches at opposing angles that grip tissue from multiple directions, distributing tension evenly across the lift zone and maximising the fibroblast-stimulating surface area.
