The APTOS thread lift at GISANT is a minimally invasive alternative to a surgical facelift, using specialised barbed threads inserted under the skin to mechanically lift and reposition sagging tissue while stimulating collagen along the thread path. It is suited to patients with early-to-moderate facial laxity who want a subtle lift without the recovery of surgery.

The procedure is performed in the clinic without general anaesthesia, and the lifting effect is visible immediately, with collagen stimulation continuing to firm the skin over the following weeks.
