How it works:

The Avanti Le Spa is proud to present the APTOS threads, the latest innovation in non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Recognized internationally and awarded at several prestigious conferences in medical aesthetics, APTOS threads are a reference in regenerative lifting. Designed to lift, firm, and restore youthful contours with precision, these threads offer exceptional results with minimal recovery.

Unlike traditional threads, APTOS threads combine mechanical lifting and biostimulation, thereby stimulating collagen production for a lasting improvement in firmness, elasticity, and skin texture.

We are also honored to announce that Dr. Alex has been selected as one of the first physicians in Quebec to receive advanced training in the APTOS threads technique, which showcases his expertise and commitment to providing cutting-edge aesthetic care based on evidence.

Discover the future of facial remodeling with APTOS threads, where innovation meets natural elegance.

FAQ

Are there any contraindications?

Treatment with Aptos thread lifts is not recommended in the following cases:

- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Autoimmune diseases
- Skin infections or active inflammation in the treatment areas
- Coagulation disorders or use of anticoagulant medications
- Known allergies to thread materials
- History of hypertrophic or keloid scarring
- Severe neurological or muscular disorders in the targeted areas

Does this work for everyone?

The Aptos thread lifting treatment is particularly suitable for individuals with moderate to mild jowls (class 1-2), those looking for a non-surgical brow lift, or contouring of the nose without resorting to traditional fillers. This treatment is ideal for those who desire long-lasting results and a subtle yet significant improvement in their facial contours.

It is not recommended for individuals with specific medical issues such as autoimmune diseases or coagulation disorders. During the initial consultation, we will determine together if this treatment is appropriate for your specific needs and health condition.

Are there any side effects?

Like any medical-aesthetic treatment, Aptos thread lifts may present some temporary side effects. The most common include:

Mild bruising or swelling in the treated areas, which generally disappears within a few days to a week.

Sensitivity or mild discomfort in the areas where the threads are placed, which resolves quickly.

Slight changes in shape or asymmetry that may require adjustment or follow-up after one or two weeks.

There are also other rare side effects that will be discussed in detail during your consultation. It is important to follow the post-treatment care recommendations to avoid any complications.

During your consultation, we will discuss your medical history and expectations to ensure that this treatment is suitable for your situation.

How many sessions are needed?

Treatment with Aptos thread lifts typically requires just one session to see visible results. This session lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.

In some cases, a follow-up or adjustment may be necessary after 1 to 2 weeks, but in the majority of cases, a single session is enough to achieve an optimal and lasting result.

When will the results be visible?

The results are visible immediately after treatment, with continuous improvement over the weeks. The effects generally stabilize and intensify after about 3 to 4 weeks, as collagen begins to form around the threads, providing additional lifting and tightening.

Is it painful?

The treatment of Aptos thread lifts is generally well tolerated. Local anesthesia is applied to the treated areas to minimize any discomfort. Most patients report a sensation of pressure or pulling, but the procedure is not considered painful. After the treatment, it is possible to experience slight tenderness or temporary local swelling, which usually disappears after a few days.

How much time is expected for recovery?

The recovery time after an Aptos thread lifting treatment is generally quick. Most patients can resume their daily activities within 24 to 48 hours after the treatment. However, it is normal to experience slight swelling or bruising in the treated areas, which usually dissipate within a few days. It is recommended to avoid any intense physical activity for the first 4 weeks after the procedure to optimize results and minimize the risk of complications.

Which areas of the body can be treated?

Aptos threads can be used to treat several areas of the face, including:

- The cheeks and lower face to correct mild to moderate sagging, including jowls.
- The eyebrows for a non-surgical lift of the forehead area.
- The nose for nose contouring without using traditional fillers.
- The neck and décolletage to improve firmness and reduce signs of aging in these delicate areas.

Each area benefits from the unique technique of Aptos threads for a natural and lasting result. During the consultation, we will determine together which areas best suit your aesthetic goals.

The next steps

1. Consultation

During this first meeting, we assess your needs, aesthetic expectations, and the anatomy of your face. This consultation helps to determine if Aptos threads are suitable for your goals. We discuss the treatment plan, targeted areas, expected results, as well as the risks and post-treatment care.

2. Treatment session

On the day of the procedure, a local anesthesia is applied for your comfort. The threads are delicately inserted under the skin according to precise vectors in order to reposition the tissues, stimulate collagen, and firm the targeted area. The treatment generally lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

3. Results and follow-up

The results are immediate at the end of the treatment, with a progressive improvement in skin firmness and texture over the weeks, thanks to collagen stimulation. A follow-up after 1 week is scheduled to ensure good recovery and address any post-treatment questions. A follow-up at 12 months is also recommended to evaluate the durability of the result and discuss any potential maintenance. The effects of the treatment can last from 12 to 18 months, depending on the treated area and your physiology.
