Modern aesthetics increasingly strives for natural results, and Aptos lifting threads represent a combination of science, experience and subtle aesthetic precision.
This minimally invasive treatment enables lifting and tightening of the skin without surgery, with rapid recovery and long-lasting effect.
As a certified Aptos thread lifting trainer, Dr Maja Simić not only applies this technique in practice, but also educates physicians across the region on proper indication, thread selection and perfect symmetry of results.
Aptos threads are biocompatible, resorbable threads made of polylactic acid and caprolactone — materials that are safe and fully biodegradable in the skin,
while simultaneously stimulating new collagen formation.
Their design with bidirectional barbs enables precise positioning and immediate lifting effect.
Aptos threads are ideal for individuals who notice mild to moderate skin laxity, but do not wish to undergo surgical lifting.
The most commonly treated areas are:
The treatment is the perfect choice for those who want immediate yet natural results — lifting without scars and without a prolonged recovery period.
Following consultation and marking of the lifting vectors, the threads are introduced through small punctures using a thin cannula.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.
The lifting effect is visible immediately, and in the following months it intensifies thanks to collagen stimulation and skin regeneration.
After treatment, mild tightness, swelling or a sensation of tension may be present for a few days, which resolves spontaneously.
Most patients return to daily activities within 24–48 hours.
The effect of Aptos lifting lasts 18–24 months, depending on the type of threads and skin structure.
In addition to immediate lifting, the skin becomes firmer, more toned and more elastic thanks to stimulation of new collagen.
The result is refreshed, defined features — without excess, without change to personal expression.
💬 Philosophy of treatment:
"Aptos threads are not just a tightening method, but a way to return the face to its natural frame. Every thread movement follows proportions, symmetry and balance — because a true lift doesn't just lift skin, but also confidence."
