As you get older, the appearance and shape of your face is altered because of normal age-related changes. Your skin becomes less elastic and looser, and fat deposits decrease in some areas of your face and increase in others. A facelift is a cosmetic surgical operation that can help us look younger and more refreshed, by removing unwanted wrinkles and lifting the face’s skin, muscles, and soft tissues.
Thread lifting is a revolutionary treatment that rejuvenates, regenerates and improves the structure of the face, in a similar way to a surgical facelift, but without the need for surgery. Different lengths and thicknesses of thread are used for different areas of the face. Short strands of threads can be used to treat fine lines around the eyes, while thicker strands can be used to lift skin folds. Longer threads can use to correct and lift the neck and jawline.
Aptos is combination of surgical threads and methods of installation, which has been invented by Dr. Marlen Sulamanidze in 1996 and developed by Dr. George and Konstantin Sulamanidze. Aptos thread lifting is a popular procedure to achieve facial and body refreshment and improve refreshment and improve skin quality without having to undergo surgery and the problem of scarring.
Visage Excellence is a Universal resorbable surgical thread with multidirectional, specially designed barbs. The unique feature enhances the force of tissue holding. Multidirectional barbs can distribute, stress and hold soft tissues stronger after insertion.
Aptos has now launched its 4th-generation Visage Excellence thread lift, focusing on firmer lifting and better supportive structure, as well as continued improvement in skin quality. Its core technology uses the NAMICA thread-lift technique. Compared with conventional absorbable thread lifting, NAMICA offers greater stability, providing strong support to sagging, drooping tissues so that contour enhancement looks more natural and visibly effective.
In addition, the NAMICA technique encapsulates hyaluronic acid (HA) in microcapsules within the thread. Depending on molecular size, it is gradually released in the tissue over time, effectively extending the treatment’s duration. Research indicates that P(LA/CL) threads combined with HA have controllable biostimulation properties that further promote skin regeneration.
The 4th-generation thread lift perfectly balances “instant lifting” and “long-lasting results.” By combining balanced physical fixation with the sustained biochemical release of HA, it broadly helps to awaken the skin’s elasticity—resulting in a more dimensional, defined facial contour and longer-lasting youthfulness.
Nano.Uniqa is more than just a new type of thread lifting material. It represents a major breakthrough in thread lifting technology by combining the “immediate support” of traditional thread lifting with the “long-lasting restoration” of biostimulation into a single system. Because of this, it has earned the title of “Solid Biostimulator” within the industry.
It is particularly suitable for regions with thinner skin and less subcutaneous fat, such as around the eyes, around the mouth, the neck, forehead, and hands.
Compared to pure injections or other thread-lifting methods, it reduces the risk of an unnatural appearance when performed on sensitive areas with thin skin. It is also less prone to displacement, and foreign body reactions (such as noticeable nodules) are lower. Due to its insertion method and material properties, the risk of severe complications (such as vascular occlusion) is significantly reduced.
Some treatments can be completed without local anesthesia. The properties of the HA (hyaluronic acid) coating on the outer layer of the thread also help reduce post-treatment inflammation and allergic reaction.
Continuous collagen stimulation helps improve fine lines, boost elasticity, and enhance firmness. The effective duration can last up to 12 months (actual results may vary depending on individual conditions).
Nano.Uniqa is a technology that elevates thread lifting from “pure lifting” to a “structural regeneration system.”It provides an instant lift and continuously optimizes skin texture, elasticity, and overall firmness over several months through its material mechanisms. This ensures that the results go beyond mere surface support, focusing instead on the long-term optimization of the skin’s structure as well.
