Aptos Thread Lifting is a non-surgical lifting procedure using cog-type threads made from a combination of PLA, PCL, and hyaluronic acid (HA) — a structural composition that sets it apart from conventional cog threads.
Through NAMICA Technology, the threads are engineered with the internal skin environment in mind, offering structural support while promoting a more skin-friendly integration process.
The multi-directional cog structure helps anchor and support sagging tissue, providing a natural-looking lift without incisions or major downtime — an ideal option for patients seeking effective results within a limited travel schedule. As the thread gradually degrades over time, it may also help stimulate collagen production, contributing to improved skin elasticity.

Specially designed threads provide support beneath the skin and help reposition sagging tissues, creating a more defined and naturally lifted appearance.
By repositioning descended facial tissues, APTOS can help improve the definition of the jawline and restore a more balanced facial contour.
Every face ages differently. The number, placement, and direction of the threads are carefully planned according to facial anatomy, tissue distribution, and the degree of sagging.
In addition to mechanical lifting, the presence of the threads can stimulate a tissue response around the treated area, supporting gradual improvements in skin firmness and quality.

3D BARB STRUCTURE
Specially designed barbs engage the surrounding tissue, helping reposition and support sagging facial tissues along the intended lifting direction.
STRONG TISSUE SUPPORT
The thread is designed to provide stable tissue engagement, supporting the repositioning of descended soft tissues rather than simply pulling the skin surface.
NATURAL MOVEMENT
Treatment can be designed with facial anatomy and natural movement in mind, aiming for a balanced contour without an overly tightened appearance.
PERSONALIZED VECTOR DESIGN
Thread placement and lifting direction can be customized according to the degree of sagging, tissue distribution, and individual facial structure.






An initial lifting effect may be visible immediately after treatment. The appearance typically becomes more natural as swelling and temporary tightness gradually subside.
The duration varies depending on the type of thread used, treatment area, individual tissue characteristics, and aging process.
Most patients can return to their daily routine relatively quickly. Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness, or skin irregularities may occur during the recovery period.
There is no single number suitable for everyone. The number and type of threads are determined based on facial anatomy, the degree of sagging, and the desired treatment outcome.
