Compared to a traditional facelift surgery, which gives dramatic results but with scarring and downtime, APTOS thread lifting is a non-surgical procedure that yields instant lifting and continuous skin rejuvenation. Sagging skin, wrinkles and facial shape are improved. Results are instant, natural-looking and long-lasting.

APTOS is the inventor of thread lifting with a history of 25 years of innovation. Developed in Georgia—a small country in the Eastern part of Europe, APTOS was invented by Georgian plastic surgeons. The thread technology and the techniques is by far the most advanced in the global aesthetic field. In fact, they produce the only thread with Hyaluronic Acid which creates longer-lasting results with less inflammation and continuous skin improvement. APTOS is already approved in more than 90 countries and is now available in the Philippines.

People ask me why I do the things I do. Every time I make a patient happy, my life becomes more meaningful, every time I teach, I live longer. When I make a difference in other doctor’s practices, I am immortalized. Bringing Aptos is like leaving a legacy” he then finishes his speech by making the statement that propelled the excitement for the night with a powerful delivery of “Aptos has arrived!” Leaving the audience in awe, an astounding creative visual show brought a larger-than-life experience on the arrival of APTOS to the Philippines.

Ultimately, it is Filipino patients who will benefit from effective cosmetic procedures that are safe and that give beautiful results.
