MD Cosmedical Solutions  utilise the revolutionary Aptos Face Threads (pioneered in, and produced in Georgia). Aptos Threads are the best and most advanced facial threads technology that is TGA, FDA, and CE Certified and Approved. Aptos Face Threads are the only threads that achieve facelifting results and have the longest longevity.

Dr Buddy Beaini, who is considered to be a leading Thread Face Lift expert, performs Aptos Thread Lift treatments at MD Cosmedical Solutions Cosmetic Clinics – with over 6,500 Face, Neck, Brow and Nose Threads treatments performed to date. He was the 1st Australian doctor to be trained in Georgia by the Aptos Threads Inventors and Founders Dr Marlen Sulamanidze, George Sulamanidze & Konstantin Sulamanidze. Dr Beaini also attends regular advanced training by the inventors at the Aptos Training Hospital in Georgia, therefore delivering the most advanced technology and techniques to maximise results.

The Aptos treatment is a 40-60 minute non-surgical face lift medical procedure performed only by doctors. The procedure is performed with local anaesthetic, and there are no incisions or bandages. There is minimal downtime and results begin immediately and continue to improve for over 12 months. Aptos Face Thread Lift results last for 3 to 5 years in most patients.

Unlike traditional facelift surgery, which alters your natural facial features, Aptos Thread Lifts don’t alter the face’s original features.  Aptos threads rejuvenate and lift your face without changing your natural features.  Soft tissues are simply repositioned to their original location. Thread Face Lifts have no scarring, no skin tugging, and no downtime. Thread Lifting is performed under local anaesthetic.

The Aptos Face Threads, unlike the other alternative threads currently available, deliver results in 2 stages:

Stage One – there is an initial non-surgical contouring & uplifting that appears immediately.

Stage Two – involves the ongoing formation of collagen and elastin that delivers ongoing skin tightening improvement for the next 12 months.

Aptos Threads have hundreds of minute multidirectional barbs that gently anchor ageing sagging skin into the desired uplifted position. These patented multidirectional barbs are unique to Aptos Threads. The Aptos Threads are absorbable & gradually dissolve with time. Concomitantly the threads create natural collagen & elastin, forming supportive scaffolding to uplift, firm & regenerate sagging skin with long-term results lasting up to 5 years. The new threads offer an excellent alternative to Facelift Surgery that poses undesirable risks.

APTOS THREADS APPLICATIONS

The aesthetic applications of Aptos Threads includes the following:

• Non-Surgical Facelifts & Skin Tightening of Face, Jowls, Neck, Eyebrows
• Non-Surgical Cheeks, Nose & Lip Augmentation
• Reduction of Nasolabial Lines, Marionette Lines, Lip Lines, Jowling, Tear Troughs, Baggy Eyes & Wrinkles
• Facial Asymmetry Correction
• Body Skin Tightening (e.g. Décolletage, Abdomen, Upper Arms, Thighs, Knees)

APTOS THREADS ADVANTAGES

The advantages of Aptos Thread lifts includes the following:

• No hospitalization – procedure performed in clinic
• Non-Surgical Local Anaesthetic Treatments
• Minimal Downtime & No Face Bandages Required
• Immediate Natural Results that continue to improve with time
• Longest Lasting Results (i.e. results lasting 3 to 5 years in most patients)

BEST THREAD LIFT RESULTS

Thread Lifting is a specialised treatment & the best results depend on the following important factors:

• Technology Used – Aptos Threads are the most advanced & long lasting threads, the only threads with patented ‘multidirectional barbs’
• Amount of Threads used – The more facial threads used equates to better secured lifting & the production of more collagen
• Doctors Thread Face Lift Experience – The Doctors Experience & Technique will maximize & perfect the final results

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST FACE LIFTING THREADS

The best threads are those that stimulate the most collagen & elastin once they are positioned under the skin, and those that are the slowest dissolving (hence producing collagen & elastin for the longest period of time).  Clinical Data demonstrates that Aptos Threads are superior to all other threads.

The absorbable threads that are available in Australia and have TGA approval are as follows: 

1. Aptos Face Threads

• Microscopic examination 1 month after thread insertion demonstrates that Aptos Threads induced the formation of new collagen and elastin that provide structure and elastic support to the skin.
• Reabsorbs in the body over 18 to 24 months
• Excellent long lasting non-surgical face lift results that are superior to all other threads.

2. Silhouette Soft Threads

• Microscopic examination 1 month after thread insertion demonstrates that these threads induced the formation of collagen only. 
• Reabsorbs in the body over 12 months.
• Minimal face lifting results.

3. PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads

• Microscopic examination 1 month after thread insertion did not demonstrate any response from the skin or surrounding tissues.
• Reabsorbs in the body over 2 to 3 months.
• No face lifting, and minimal collagen production.
• Examples of PDO Threads are Korean or Mint Threads.

Consultations are performed by Dr Buddy Beaini and medical consultants – MD Cosmedical Solutions are reputable cosmetic clinics in operation since 2001. Cosmetic medical procedures may have small risks or variable results, and some patients may not be suitable for certain procedures. However there are no risks of traditional surgery or general anaesthesia as these procedures are non-surgical.

1. HOW DO APTOS THREADS DIFFER FROM OTHER THREADS?

Unlike older conventional thread “sutures” which are smooth, or ‘bidirectional’ barbs, Aptos Absorbable Threads have patented ‘multidirectional barbs’. As a result, the Aptos Threads have the best uniform grip, which results in better securing, no dimpling and no bandaging post treatment.  Aptos threads also give instant & long-lasting facelifting results that continue to improve with time. This is in contrast to PDO threads which give no facelifting & minimal collagen production.

2. WHAT ARE THE APPLICATIONS OF APTOS THREADS?

The Aptos Threads Applications:

• Non-Surgical Face Lifts & Skin Tightening of Face, Jowls, Neck, Eyebrows
• Non-Surgical Cheeks, Nose & Lip Augmentation
• Reduction of Nasolabial Lines, Marionette Lines, Lip Lines, Jowling, Tear Troughs, Baggy Eyes & Wrinkles
• Facial Asymmetry Correction

3. DO APTOS THREADLIFTS ALTER MY FACE FEATURES?

Unlike traditional facelift surgery, which alters your natural facial features, leaves visible skin tugging appearance and scars, Aptos thread lifts do not leave any tugging, scars or alter the face’s original features.  Aptos threads rejuvenate & lift your face without changing your natural features.  Soft tissues are simply repositioned to their original location.  After a thread lift, you can typically expect to look like you did several years ago.

4. WHAT IS THE APTOS THREAD LIFT PROCEDURE?

Due to the unique design of the specially designed and patented barbs of the Aptos Threads, the surrounding tissues act to hold the threads in place without the need for visible scars. For the mid-face procedure, the surgeon makes a tiny needle insertion points close to the ear and the threads are advanced along the previously marked contours toward the chin and jaw line thus creating a firm hold on the underlying tissues without causing additional trauma. The barbs do the work of holding & lifting by being fixated to connective tissue as they are softly contoured into place.

5. HOW LONG DOES A THREAD LIFT TAKE TO PERFORM?

The procedure duration depends on the number of Aptos Face Threads to be implanted. Most of the Aptos Thread Lift procedures take between 40 to 60 minutes.

6. WHEN CAN I RESUME NORMAL DAILY ACTIVITIES?

Aptos Threads are a lunchtime procedure, and are performed under local anaesthetic. There are no incisions, stitches, scars or bandages. There may be some minor bruising that can be concealed by makeup. Most patients can return to work and light exercise on the next day. More aggressive exercise is usually 2 to 3 weeks post treatment.

7. WHAT ARE THE USUAL SIDE EFFECTS?

MD Cosmedical Solutions have not had any complications with Aptos Thread Lifts.  However in the event of increased redness & pain in the treatment area, or fevers, please contact the clinic.

8. WHO PERFORMS THE APTOS THREAD LIFT PROCEDURES?

Aptos Thread Lifts are performed by Cosmetic Surgeon Dr Buddy Beaini – Australia’s Threads Expert & Leader – has successfully & safely performed over 5,500 Thread Lift Procedures over the last 12 years.

9. APTOS THREAD LIFT AFTERCARE

The aftercare for Aptos Threads is simple but important:

• Simple analgesia (e.g. Paracetamol or Nurofen) for the first 24 to 48 hours if required
• Ice application to the treated area for the 1^st 24 to 48 hours
• Sleep on 1 extra pillow (slight elevation) for the 1^st 48 hours
• Take prophylactic antibiotic prescribed by your doctor for 7 days
• No facial massages or manipulation for the 1^st 6 weeks post procedure
