Aptos visage threads negative reviews

For about twenty years (since 1996), domestic cosmetologists have been using non-absorbable Aptos threads to rejuvenate the skin of the face and body. Reviews about this method are both positive and negative and depend on the individual characteristics of the particular patient and, importantly, the skill of the operating doctor. It is believed that the threads were invented in Russia by a pair of domestic plastic surgeons Sulamanidze (M.A. and G.M.), however, there is also information that today the supplier of this drug may also be Korea, where their production is established.

Request thread certification documents!

In order to get the optimal result, you need to be sure that the salon uses certified Aptos threads, negative reviews about the procedure with which often arise in establishments that do not have a registration certificate for such products. To do this, it is enough to familiarize yourself with the information data of Roszdravnadzor, which notifies consumers about which unregistered thread samples can be used in Russian clinics. You also need to remember that unscrupulous doctors can use low-quality material made in Asia.

Face lifting with Aptos threads, reviews of which vary, involves the use of a needle-type reinforcing material. Such threads are the most durable and strong, hold tissue well and are more often used to strengthen the middle part of the face and cheeks, in contrast to the spiral type of threads (short, length - 5 cm), which are used in the eyebrows, décolleté, lips, and linear type (length -4-9 cm), which are used to “eliminate” the double chin and for a facelift (usually up to 30 units are placed on one side).

It is not always possible to do without painkillers

What features do Aptos threads have? Negative reviews of their use are often due to the fact that the material injected under the skin using a special hollow needle is itself quite hard, so local anesthesia is required. For other types of threads, painkillers are not required, since it is possible to achieve a good tightening effect with minimal trauma. When ordering a procedure in the salon, you must be sure to remember about your own allergic reactions and notify the doctor about their presence, who should give advice on anti-allergy medications that should be taken before the operation. Often, the omission of this important point resulted in rashes, which then had to be corrected with medication.

Aptos threads, negative reviews of which often arise in connection with certain problems of a psychological nature, are the most reliable material for thread lifting precisely due to the small notches on them. Such preparations make it possible to qualitatively tighten the tissues of the face (or body), fix them at the required level for a long time and allow the body to gradually build up a frame of elastin-collagen fibers around the thread. This allows you to maintain the rejuvenating effect for several years. But the process of implanting the thread itself looks scary for many ladies.

Features of the operation

What kind of discomfort do Aptos threads cause? Negative reviews provide information that during the procedure, women are forced to endure significant pain (if anesthesia is not given), the process itself looks unpleasant from the outside (needles and thread tips stick out from the face). In addition, the doctor sometimes has to adjust the position of the threads by pulling them, which gives additional unpleasant sensations and crunching sounds inside under the skin, which is also unpleasant. Many ladies are concerned about swelling and facial asymmetry after surgery, as well as bruises and bumps, which can resolve within a couple of weeks in some cases.

You may not get the expected result

What additional inconveniences do Aptos threads bring? Negative reviews indicate that in the first month there is a feeling of tension in the skin of the face and scalp. Sometimes women feel like the brace might “slip.” In addition, you need to take into account that the best result from the operation will be in the first three weeks, after the swelling has gone down. Further, the effectiveness of the method may decrease over time, but this depends on the individual characteristics of the patient. There are cases where middle-aged women had thread lifts performed by eminent foreign or Moscow surgeons, and the result obtained was more than far from expected.

Are synthetic fibers better than gold?

How do Aptos threads differ from similar preparations, such as gold-containing ones? Make-up, reviews of which are of interest to many girls, is somewhat easier to do after such an operation. This is due to the fact that the reinforcing element consists of polypropylene, which, for example, in the cold does not allow the threads to appear on the face. This reduces the need for a large amount of concealer (foundation, foundation, etc.).

Breast lift with Aptos threads

Aptos threads, reviews, photos of the results of the effect on tissue can be seen in the article, are also used for seamless breast lift. This technique for this part of the body is good because it leaves minimal damage to the skin in the form of entry holes from needles and does not cause scars. Threads in an amount of about 8 pieces are pulled from the collarbone under the nipple and back to the collarbone on both sides of the chest. The operation can be performed without anesthesia, and the patient can even observe the doctor’s manipulations.

It is also worth considering that the absence of foreign bodies in the breast (implants) negates the risk of rejection or damage to the prosthesis inside; the threads improve blood flow, promote tissue growth and enhance metabolic processes. Correction of breast shape with threads allows you to avoid a long rehabilitation period; women often return to active life the next day after surgery.

When is it undesirable to perform surgery?

What could be wrong with Aptos threads during a breast lift? Negative reviews indicate that most often problems arise when the technique was applied without taking into account the restrictions imposed. These include: breasts larger than the second size, severe stretching of the skin, the presence of autoimmune diseases, local inflammatory processes, diseases of the blood systems, viral, fungal or bacterial skin diseases, allergies, oncology, diabetes, etc. In these cases, it is difficult to predict how the implanted threads will behave and what the result will be. In addition, unscrupulous doctors do not warn about the limitation of the period during which Aptos threads work at maximum. Negative reviews from women report that many of them experienced a significant decrease in the tightening and strengthening effect a year after the operation.

Large buttocks are difficult to correct using threads

The same problems can arise when a patient chooses a thread lift for the buttocks area, since this area has a large muscle-fat mass. Special threads "Aptos" can be used here. Reviews from 2014 indicate that professional plastic surgeons prefer the Excellent Body series for body surgeries, which instead of notches has microknots that allow for better retention and strengthening of tissue. However, even in this case, the effect of the tightening, noticeable immediately after the operation, will become less and less every day, and this does not please many representatives of the fair sex. They are pleased that the operation is minimally invasive, and as the result from the previous procedure worsens, it can be repeated many times, but it will cost a lot of money.

Let your hands be beautiful!

On what parts of the body are Aptos threads still used? Negative reviews are rare among women who have undergone brachioplasty (arm skin tightening). Many noted that the covering of the limbs became more elastic and fresh, which is important for older women who have already undergone anti-aging procedures for the face, neck, décolleté, etc. In addition, successful operations were noted on the forearm and inner thigh, which with age they also tend to sag, limiting comfortable pastime, for example, on the beach.

To return your facial contour to normal, you should use Aptos threads for a facelift, reviews of which clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the procedure. A thread lift can replace plastic surgery: it helps get rid of severe sagging skin in the area of ​​the chin and cheeks, eliminate deep wrinkles, restore elasticity, well-groomed and youthful appearance to the skin.

The technique is based on the use of a special material: threads made from it are implanted under the skin and tighten sagging areas of the face. It is this effect that helps tighten the skin, eliminating wrinkles, double chin and other age-related defects. Thread lifting is used when hardware and injection procedures become useless, but you don’t want to do plastic surgery yet.

Indications and contraindications

The main indication for thread lifting is sagging soft tissues of the face. Thread lifting helps return sagging areas to their place, relieving the patient of a double chin, sagging cheeks and blurred facial contours. The procedure is also used to get rid of deep age wrinkles and sagging eyebrows.

The procedure also has contraindications. Avoid thread lifting in the following cases:

1. viral diseases, infections;
2. pregnancy and breastfeeding;
3. inflammatory and purulent elements on the face;
4. liver and kidney diseases;
5. diabetes mellitus, oncology;
6. heart pathologies;
7. allergy to anesthetic.

Also, you should not perform a thread lift if there is severe sagging of the muscles and soft tissues of the face: with late age-related changes that occur after 45-50 years, gentle procedures become useless, and only plastic surgery will come to the rescue.

Attention! Before performing a facelift with Aptos threads, it is worth considering all the positive and negative aspects of the procedure. Thread lifting has many contraindications, and if the practitioner is inexperienced, it can lead to serious complications. If you decide to undergo the procedure, contact only trusted specialists!

Types of threads

Thread lifts are performed using different types of threads. The specialist selects the appropriate ones depending on the degree of tissue sagging and the severity of wrinkles, as well as on the wishes for the final result. As usual, four types of threads are used in cosmetology for lifting: mesothreads, Tissulift, Aptos and Silhouette Soft.

Mesothreads

Thin, absorbable threads inserted into the skin layers using a blunt cannula. The most gentle version of thread lifting, the effect of which lasts for six months. It is used for early wrinkles and sagging, as well as as a preventive measure. It practically does not injure the skin, so it can be performed in beauty salons by cosmetologists, not surgeons.

Tissulift

These are smooth threads that do not absorb and are inserted into the deep layers of the skin, but are fixed to the bone. To perform a lift with Tissulift threads, incisions are required, so such lifting is a rather traumatic and dangerous procedure. However, the result after it is decent: Tissulift threads can correct even severe sagging.

Aptos

Aptos threads have special serrations that help them to be fixed in tissues and have a longer tightening effect. They are inserted under the skin to a depth of 5 mm using small punctures, so they practically do not injure the face. There are several types of these threads: they are divided by area of ​​application, as well as by the duration of the effect. Absorbable ones tighten the face within 2 years, and non-absorbable ones - for 4 years.

Silhouette Soft

The threads contain knots and cones, thanks to which they reliably fix sagging fabrics. The threads themselves do not dissolve in the skin, but the nodules and cones dissolve over time. This is for the best: bumps appear in the places where they are attached, so at first they have to be masked with hair and cosmetics.

How is the procedure done?

A facelift with threads does not take much time: it usually lasts for half an hour. Depending on the severity of the sagging and the desired result, this period may increase or decrease.

The procedure begins with cleansing and disinfecting the skin. All makeup is washed off the patient, then the face is wiped with a special antiseptic. Then the use of anesthesia begins: an anesthetic drug is injected locally, into the sites of future punctures for threads.

After the anesthetic drug has taken effect, the introduction of threads into the skin begins. For a more precise distribution of threads, the master can draw the injection sites on the face. The threads are inserted using punctures with a special thin needle.

When all the threads are inserted under the skin, it is again treated with an antiseptic drug. At the end of the procedure, the specialist can apply a bandage, if necessary. Afterwards, the patient receives post-procedure recommendations and can be free.

A facelift with threads proceeds as follows:

Rehabilitation period

Rehabilitation after the procedure lasts from two weeks to a month. The exact period depends on the individual characteristics of the individual patient’s body, as well as the age, proper care and skill of the surgeon who performed the lift.

During the first three weeks, you should not massage the treated area; you should also refrain from hardware and manual procedures that can further injure the skin. You should wash your face only two days after the procedure; before this, the skin is cleansed using a cotton pad soaked in Chlorhexidine.

Also, in the near future you should avoid steaming your skin, saunas, steam baths, solariums, beaches and other hot places that can increase blood flow to your face. You can’t take a hot shower or bath; you need to make do with medium or cool temperatures.

In addition, it is worth paying attention to sleep: do not sleep in a horizontal position in the next two to three days, so as not to provoke the occurrence of severe bruises and swelling, as well as to reduce existing ones. You should also not sleep on your stomach or side: your face should not touch the pillow.

Complications after a facelift

After thread lifting, consequences and complications may be observed. This occurs for various reasons: they can appear as a result of the specialist’s inexperience, inaccurate adherence to recommendations after the procedure, and also as an individual reaction of the body.

After a thread lift, there may be the following consequences:

1. swelling and hematomas;
2. facial asymmetry;
3. tissue necrosis;
4. unnatural appearance;
5. allergy to anesthetic.

Hematomas and swelling will disappear over time on their own, and they do not require medical intervention. But for other consequences, you should contact the clinic where you had the procedure: these defects and problems must be corrected as soon as possible.

The effect of the procedures

The effect of the Aptos lift is comparable to plastic surgery: it returns the oval of the face to a beautiful and correct shape, eliminates wrinkles, and helps you look well-groomed, young and attractive. Threads can be used to tighten the double chin and cheeks, lift overhanging eyebrows and the upper eyelid, and eliminate jowls.

Also, thread lifting can cope with wrinkles: both small and quite deep. It can reduce the severity of nasolabial folds, increase the elasticity and firmness of the skin, and give it a healthier and more youthful appearance.

Expert advice

To prevent a facelift using Aptos threads from turning into a disaster, you should listen to the opinions of specialists who are well acquainted with this procedure.

Here are the most important tips from surgeons working with thread lifting:

1. Choose a specialist based not only on his education, but also on reviews from other clients. If there are people dissatisfied with his technique, do not contact this specialist.
2. Don't ignore contraindications. Before the procedure, tell the specialist about all chronic diseases and current conditions to make sure that you can have a facelift.
3. Follow the instructions. The surgeon prohibits you from certain things during rehabilitation for a reason: by violating his recommendations, you jeopardize the result of the procedure. Is it worth spending that kind of money only to have no effect?
4. Try not to grimace in the first two to three weeks. Not only will it be painful and unpleasant, active facial expressions can ruin the symmetry of the face after lifting. By the way, you shouldn’t smile widely either!
5. Go to bed in a semi-sitting position. This will relieve you of the temptation to roll over and lie face down in the pillow, and will also help the swelling resolve faster.
6. Wipe your skin with Chlorhexedine and pieces of ice: this will help disinfect your face, as well as reduce swelling and bruises if they appear.

Use these tips to achieve better results after the procedure. A beautiful lifting result occurs not only thanks to the surgeon: your adherence to his instructions helps him in many ways.

Price

The price of the procedure greatly depends on the city, clinic and specific plastic surgeon: an appointment with more experienced and eminent specialists will cost one and a half to two times more than with beginners. Such an overpayment is completely justified: it is better to give more money and be confident in the result than to risk your face.

Approximate prices for the procedure may be as follows:

1. Area around the mouth: from 12 to 18 thousand.
2. Eye area: from 15 to 21 thousand.
3. Upper third of the face: from 43 to 50 thousand.
4. Middle third of the face: from 41 to 47 thousand.
5. Lower third of the face: from 45 to 53 thousand.
6. Full face: from 110 to 160 thousand.
7. Neck: from 112 to 153 thousand.

These are the average market prices for facial contour lifting using Aptos threads. Actual prices may be higher or lower than these, and they depend on the skill of the surgeon and the level of the clinic you contact.

Photos before and after procedures

To ensure the effectiveness of the Aptos lift, you should familiarize yourself with the photos before and after this procedure. Looking at them, you can be convinced of the impressive effect of thread lifting: the face is transformed and rejuvenated, becoming well-groomed, toned and beautiful.

Patient reviews

Galina, 42 years old, Murmansk

“I decided to have a thread lift because of my age. Mesotherapy no longer helps to keep the face normal; the chin has begun to sag significantly. I chose Aptos on the advice of friends, they also recommended a cosmetologist. The face really tightened up, the result is almost like after an operation. At my age, this is the most wonderful remedy.”

Daria, 41 years old, Zvenigorod

“A friend recommended a thread lift to me - the oval of my face had long since floated, it was time to correct the situation. The specialist suggested Aptos and assured me that these were the most effective and optimal threads in my situation. In general, he turned out to be right: my cheeks and chin no longer sag, but I’m not sure I would like to repeat the procedure again. Very painful and took too long to recover.”

Maria, 42 years old, Ryazan

“Age makes itself felt, the contour of the face is no longer as clear as in youth. Initially I came for a consultation about plastic surgery, but the surgeon persuaded me to try magic threads. They promised the same effect as after surgery, but cheaper and less traumatic. And what is the result? The face tightened up a little, but the skin remained flabby and inelastic, the wrinkles almost disappeared. What is the Photoshop effect? And what kind of quick rehabilitation are we talking about if I walked around with bruises for another month? It would be better if I went for plastic surgery - I would pay a little more, but the result would be appropriate. Threads are money down the drain.”

Tatyana, 34 years old, Rostov-on-Don

“I have always had an unclear oval face for as long as I can remember. I did injections, massage, exercises - all to no avail. But in recent years the situation has become even worse; at 34, I looked 10 years older. What's the point of beautiful makeup and eyelash extensions if your face looks flabby and old? I doubted for a long time whether to try threads, but there were simply no other options. Overall, I am satisfied; I have never had such a neat and clear relief! Although the recovery period is confusing - the doctor promised that I would recover in a week, but in fact the bruises did not go away for all three.”

Natalya, 38 years old, Kemerovo

“Today I had a lift with Aptos threads. I was given 10 pieces on each side. Recently I began to notice that the oval of the face was becoming fuzzy and saggy, so I decided to correct the situation. I turned to the best surgeon I found in the city, but was still terrified of the procedure - the reviews scared me. In fact, everything turned out to be not so scary: they numbed me with cream, they fussed with me for half an hour and let me go. The swelling is noticeable, but it's not as bad as I expected. Let’s see what happens after rehabilitation – so far I like everything.”

Aptos threads are an effective method for lifting the contours of the face, helping you look younger and more attractive. When deciding on a thread lift, you should pay special attention to the choice of the clinic and the surgeon performing the operation: despite the fact that this is a low-traumatic intervention, you should not trust it to a non-professional.

Women who want to rejuvenate their face have probably heard reviews of Aptos threads for face lifting, some of which are positive and negative. Experts recommend this cosmetic procedure as an alternative to plastic surgery. The advantages include less tissue trauma and a short rehabilitation period. At the same time, the effectiveness of surgical facelift and threads is considered the same by cosmetologists.

What are Aptos threads and how do they work?

Many women have seen photos, reviews and know the prices for a facelift with Aptos threads, but have not heard that this technology received permission from Roszdravnadzor in 2010 for use in cosmetology and surgery. In the thread facelift procedure, polypropylene and caprolactone products are used. Unlike polypropylene, caprolactone threads are absorbable. Their formula has been modernized and includes L-lactic acid. This organic compound stimulates the formation of collagen fibers in the dermis, which promotes skin rejuvenation.

The threads placed under the skin dissolve and L-lactic acid begins to work to rejuvenate the dermis. Different types of caprolactone elements are used for different areas of the face, which increases the effectiveness of the procedure. When creating Aptos threads, manufacturing companies take into account the typology of the appearance of people with typical facial features characteristic of different nationalities. This helps women not only rejuvenate their skin, but also look natural.

Photos and reviews of Aptos threads allow us to conclude that this development can solve a wide range of cosmetic problems. The procedure boils down to creating a kind of frame under the skin that keeps soft tissues in good shape. The duration of the manipulation is about half an hour.

The procedure is carried out according to the following protocol:

1. skin cleansing, disinfectant treatment;
2. administration of anesthesia to the sites of planned punctures for implantation of threads;
3. insertion of threads with a thin needle;
4. re-treatment with an antiseptic.

The result of implantation of Aptos fibers can be seen immediately after the procedure. The effect of manipulation can be fully assessed after 2-3 weeks, when the skin adaptation process has passed and complete rehabilitation has taken place. After the procedure, women note that the skin tightened, became more elastic, wrinkles were smoothed out, and signs of sagging areas of the skin were eliminated.

The main requirement of cosmetologists is to follow the recommendations during the rehabilitation period, which can last up to 3 weeks. During this period of time it is prohibited:

1. massage and mechanical impact on areas with implanted threads;
2. any cosmetic procedures;
3. medical procedures or dental examination;
4. actions associated with active facial expressions: singing, wide smile, grimaces and others;
5. actively engage in sports;
6. steam in a bathhouse, sauna;
7. visit a solarium or beach;
8. swim in a public pool or pond.

Attention! In the first 2 days after surgery, it is forbidden to wash your face with water. The skin is cleansed with Chlorhexidine solution.

Failure to follow these recommendations may cause side effects:

1. hematomas, pronounced swelling of the face;
2. development of asymmetry;
3. tissue death;
4. allergic reaction to anesthetic;
5. unnatural appearance of the face.

Facial swelling and hematomas usually do not require treatment. Other side effects require immediate medical attention.

Who is Aptos threads suitable for?

The procedure for implanting Aptos threads is prescribed to women with pronounced age-related skin changes:

1. noticeable ptosis;
2. drooping corners of the mouth and edges of the eyebrows (outer);
3. drooping upper eyelid;
4. the presence of “jowls”;
5. manifestation of a “double” chin;
6. unclear facial contour;
7. loss of elasticity of the dermis;
8. presence of deep wrinkles.

The procedure is used not only to correct facial defects. It is used to level out age-related changes in the dermis in the décolleté, neck, chest, triceps, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. Aptos threads are used to correct congenital defects of appearance: protruding ears, protruding earlobes, facial asymmetry. Typically, this cosmetic manipulation is performed in women under 50 years of age, when gentle procedures no longer bring the desired result, and plastic surgery is not desirable.

Subcutaneous injection of Aptos threads is a procedure for violating the integrity of the skin and drawing foreign fibers under the dermis layer. The process is carried out under the influence of local anesthesia. In this regard, the procedure has a number of contraindications:

1. diseases characterized by low blood clotting;
2. benign and cancerous tumors;
3. infectious diseases in acute and chronic form;
4. systemic diseases;
5. pregnancy and lactation;
6. the patient's tendency to form keloid scars.

Attention! At a preliminary consultation with the surgeon, it is necessary to tell as fully as possible about the presence of diseases and medications taken. This will allow the specialist to decide whether it is possible to carry out the procedure for introducing Aptos threads. Otherwise, manipulation may result in negative consequences.

The doctor must inform you about the possible complications and consequences of Aptos threads, which can be heard from reviews of women with unsuccessful experiences of the procedure. In most cases, these phenomena were the result of the inexperience of the cosmetologist, lack of sterility during the process, the patient having contraindications or allergies to the anesthetic agent.

Types of aptos threads

Several types of Aptos threads are used to correct cosmetic defects:

1. Absorbable. This type of fiber is made from a biodegradable substance - caprolac, based on lactic acid. Once this type of thread has been installed, collagenogenesis is stimulated. Then the thread tissue is gradually replaced by collagen and is completely forced out. As a result, the skin becomes youthful. With proper care, the effect of the procedure lasts up to 2 years. The procedure for implanting absorbable threads Aptos Visage, reviews of which are positive, is usually prescribed to women under 40 years of age.
2. Non-absorbable or surgical. They are made from polypropylene and are often used in surgical operations. Their biological non-degradability can be called conditional, since they gradually degrade in the dermis. This type of thread is used for areas with pronounced ptosis and is recommended for patients aged 40-50 years. The effect of the procedure lasts up to 5 years.
3. Non-absorbable surgical fibers Aptos Needle are used to eliminate or level out pronounced age-related changes in the skin of women over 50 years of age. They are installed in micro-incisions hidden in the scalp.

The doctor decides which type of thread is best for the patient on an individual basis, assessing a set of factors.

Negative and positive reviews on Aptos threads

Women who have undergone the procedure leave a lot of negative and positive reviews on Aptos threads. Some are delighted with the effectiveness of the manipulation, others are shocked by their post-operative appearance and the long period of rehabilitation.

Video review on Aptos thread:

Elena, 56 years old, Moscow

«Aptos threads were recommended to me by a cosmetologist. I'm afraid of radical interventions, but age requires skin correction. As a result, I went to the Mont Blanc clinic and had a non-absorbable aptos done. It looked terrible for about 3 weeks, and then the swelling went down, and I was surprised by the result. The face is young, the skin is elastic, wrinkles are almost invisible».

Alena, 50 years old, Ekaterinburg

«The doctor warned me not to smile too much. But I’m an emotional person and couldn’t resist. I feel like when I laugh, my muscles slip off the hooks of the threads. As a result, the effect is weak, you will have to repeat it in a year».

Margarita, 59 years old, St. Petersburg

«Aptos threads are my salvation. I have already tightened my face, décolleté, neck and chest. Nobody believes that I’m almost 60. My friends are jealous, but I want to improve my body in the future!»

The bulk of negative reviews are related to the high prices for Aptos facelift. This indicator depends on the correction area, as well as the prestige of the clinic and doctor. Correction of the corners of the mouth costs 12-18 thousand rubles, the eye area - about 20 thousand rubles, and the entire face - up to 160 thousand rubles. Neck rejuvenation with Aptos threads will cost an average of 150 thousand rubles.

Photos before and after Aptos threads

How effectively Aptos threads help you gain youth can be judged by reviews and photos of patients before and after the procedure. Most women are satisfied with this gentle surgical operation. The face acquires a clear contour, deep wrinkles are smoothed out, the dermis acquires a dense structure, elasticity and a fresh, even tone.

You can also find negative reviews, accompanied by photos of complications after unsuccessful procedures for implanting Aptos threads. As a rule, the negative consequences of cosmetic surgery are associated with the presence of contraindications for the patient, surgeon errors, or non-compliance with the correct procedure protocol.

When choosing a specialist for a facelift, you should pay attention not only to the availability of diplomas and certificates. The faces of women who have undergone the procedure of implantation of Aptos threads speak most eloquently about the professionalism of an aesthetic surgeon.
