A thread lift is a non-surgical treatment that reverses the signs of ageing by lifting and tightening sagging skin, making it look younger, smoother, and healthier.
During the procedure, dissolvable threads are carefully inserted beneath the surface of the skin. The threads are then tightened and pulled back, giving the skin a lifted, boosted, and rejuvenated appearance.
At VL Aesthetics, our cosmetic doctor uses the latest in threading technology – Aptos Threads with Hyaluronic Acid. Not only are they the longest lasting threads on the market (dissolving in 1.5-2 years), but on top of producing ‘mature’ collagen type 1, they also produce ‘young’ collagen type 3 that creates soft and supple skin.

Initially graduating in dentistry, Dr. Abs has practised and studied aesthetics under some of the world’s most renowned cosmetic doctors.

Dr. Abs is known for his skilful technique and honest approach. At your Free Consultation, he will advise you about what treatment is right for you, and will make sure that you are suitable. For example, perhaps dermal fillers are appropriate, or perhaps a different treatment (such as an advanced medi-facial) will meet your aims and objectives better.

Aptos is a revolutionary thread lifting method that has won several prestigious awards (including 'Best Tightening Thread' at the Anti-Ageing Medicine (AMEC) awards in Paris).
Unlike conventional PDO (polydioxanone) threads, Aptos are made from polylactic acid, caprolactone, and hyaluronic acid - P(LACL)HA. This unique formula has several important advantages over PDO threads, including:
Thread lifts are very safe if administered correctly by a medical professional – Dr. Abs practises and teaches aesthetics internationally and is more than qualified to carry out the treatments.
However, although thread lifts are very safe, they may not be suitable for people with certain medical conditions or for pregnant / breastfeeding women.
We carry out a full medical assessment before starting your treatment, so if you are not a suitable candidate, we will find out before your treatment begins.
The treatment itself is relatively painless. However, the most common side effects are tenderness and mild bruising around the treated areas.
Should you have any concerns after your treatment, Dr. Abs will be happy to conduct a telephone consultation with you.
The treatment can take between 20-60 minutes, depending on the number of threads you require.
At your Free Consultation we will advise you about the length of your treatment.
Your skin will look tighter and lifted immediately after the treatment is complete.
Due to the special properties of Aptos, your skin will continue to rejuvenate over the next few weeks to months, giving a younger, glowing appearance.
There is usually very little downtime with Aptos - Most patients are able to resume work the same day after the procedure.
For patients who require several threads, there can be more discomfort and a short recovery time.
At your Free Consultation, we will advise you about the downtime you may expect.
