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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
