What are Aptos Threads?
Aptos Threads in Riyadh are specially designed PDO (polydioxanone) sutures that are inserted below the skin via fine needles to gently pull the sagging skin and stimulate collagen. Contrary to traditional threadlift, this technique repositions the underlying tissues without any surgery. Aptos threads are made using absorbable and biocompatible materials that gradually dissolve over time and provide immense structural support. A smooth and youthful look results from encouraging collagen production.
Types of APTOS Threads
We offer the following kinds of Aptos threads based on desired aesthetic needs.
| Thread Type | Good For | Longevity Duration |
| Smooth Threads | Mild lift and low collagen production | Lasts for 1-1.5 years |
| Cog/Barbed Threads | Ideal for moderate skin sagging | About 2-3 years |
| Hybrid Threads | Whole facial rejuvenation | More than 2 years |
| Aptos Nano Threads | For delicate facial areas and fine lines | 2 years |
| Aptos Spring Threads | Deals with dynamic facial regions | 2-2.5 years |
How does it work?
The Aptos Thread Lift Riyadh has a dual-action mechanism. It provides facial rejuvenation and skin tightening in two ways:
Immediate Mechanical Lift
When inserted, the threads slowly pull and reposition the loose tissues. Their distinct barbed structure deeply penetrates the skin to provide immediate lifting effects and enhance facial definition.
Biosimulation or Regenerative Effect
Along with skin lifting, Aptos Threads supports the body’s natural recovery ability. After the threads dissolve in 6–8 months, they trigger elastin and collagen production. As a result, skin becomes firmer, smoother, and naturally rejuvenated, along with tightness.
