APTOS Thread Lift

Certified APTOS thread lifting at My Best Care — absorbable barbed threads placed under the skin to mechanically lift sagging cheeks, jowls and brow tissue while stimulating collagen around each thread. A non-surgical lifting option positioned between injectables and a facelift, performed under local anaesthesia in about an hour with results lasting around 18–24 months.

Thread lifting repositions mildly to moderately sagging facial tissue without surgery, using the certified APTOS method — threads with tiny barbs (cogs) that anchor in the subcutaneous tissue and hold the lifted position. **How it works:** After local anaesthesia, threads are introduced through entry points hidden at the hairline or behind defined vectors, then tensioned to re-drape the cheek, jowl or brow tissue upward. The mechanical lift is visible immediately. Over the following months the body forms a collagen scaffold along each thread track — so as the absorbable thread dissolves (12–18 months for the polylactic/caprolactone materials APTOS uses), a supportive fibrous structure remains, extending the visible result to roughly 18–24 months. **APTOS lines offered:** *Excellent* (32,990 Kč) — the established absorbable cog-thread lift for midface and lower face; *Namica* (36,990 Kč) — a newer APTOS generation with denser anchoring for stronger repositioning; and the *combined Excellent + Namica* protocol (62,990 Kč) for patients needing multi-level lifting in one session. A compression mask to support early healing is included free. **Candidacy:** Best for patients in their late 30s to 50s with early jowling and midface descent and reasonable skin quality. Significant skin excess responds better to a surgical facelift — which My Best Care also offers, so the consultation recommendation is not biased toward one technique. **Recovery:** Swelling, tightness and pulling sensations for several days to two weeks; avoid extreme facial expressions, dental procedures and sleeping face-down for the early weeks.
