If sagging skin is dragging you down, there’s a new Health Canada-approved technique that can dramatically help you uplift your appearance in a single treatment.
The treatment is called Aptos threads, a lifting treatment that uses threads made of Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) – the same bio-stimulating ingredient found in Sculptra – to tighten and lift the skin.
While thread lifts are not a new concept, Nurse Practitioner Emily Greb says Aptos threads offer a significantly better alternative to previous thread lifts.
“Aptos threads are a significant improvement to the technique,” says Emily, the owner and director of Face First Medical Aesthetics and Wellness. “You get your instant lift. And then your body breaks the PLLA down slowly over time, giving you biostimulating benefits that last long after the treatment.”
Emily says this new treatment is already gaining popularity among her 35- to 60-year-old clients looking to restore their youthful facial volume.
At Face First, Orillia’s only Nurse Practitioner-led medical aesthetics and wellness clinic, Emily and her team use a host of treatments to address key issues, protect your skin, and give you back your confidence.
“It’s a great alternative for those who don’t want filler, or are maybe considering a facelift but aren’t ready for a surgical treatment,” she says.
Whether you’re struggling with sagging cheeks, drooping jowls, deep marionette lines or loss of definition around your jawline, this treatment gives an instant, natural-looking lift that lasts up to two years.
Emily, who has had the treatment done herself, says the results are dramatic. “I would say it’s one step below surgery. You can’t get much more dramatic results without going the surgical route.”
The recovery is just as impressive as the final results: “I was a little swollen at first, but not terrible.”
Aptos threads are a game changer, but Emily notes that they work best when layered with other treatments that can improve the look and feel of your skin. From neuromodulators like Botox to medical skincare and laser treatments, your best skin starts with a tailored treatment plan.
With so many treatments available, Emily suggests booking a free consultation to review your concerns and develop a tailored treatment plan that fits your needs.
“Come in for a consult, and let us help you achieve a natural look that you’ll be proud of.”
