Papillon Medical is proud to introduce the Nuvior Aptos Thread Lift – an advanced, minimally invasive facial and neck rejuvenation treatment now available in Canada. While these innovative threads may be new to the Canadian market, Dr. Stella Jansen van Rensburg brings over 15 years of hands-on experience with thread lifting technologies, making her one of the most trusted and skilled providers in the field.

What Are Nuvior Aptos Threads?

Nuvior Aptos Threads are biocompatible, absorbable threads strategically placed beneath the skin to provide natural lifting, contouring, and collagen stimulation. These threads are engineered for precision and safety, and they work by gently repositioning sagging tissue while encouraging long-term tissue remodeling through your body’s own healing response.

Why Choose Aptos Threads?

Unlike traditional facelift procedures, Aptos Threads offer:

Minimal downtime thanks to tiny insertion points and advanced technique
Instant visible results with continued improvement over time
A non-surgical option for lifting sagging skin, improving definition, and restoring youthful contours
A treatment that’s safe for delicate areas – especially the neck, where other threads may be too aggressive or imprecise

Nuvior Aptos Threads are a versatile solution for addressing a range of aesthetic concerns across the face and neck. Common treatment areas include the jawline and jowls, mid-face regions such as the cheeks and nasolabial folds, and the brow and temple areas for a subtle lifting effect. These threads are especially effective and safe for treating the neck and submental (under-chin) region—delicate areas that often show early signs of aging. They can also improve marionette lines and other zones of skin laxity or volume loss, delivering natural-looking definition and rejuvenation.

Questions & Answers

Are Aptos Threads new?

While Nuvior Aptos Threads are new to the Canadian market, they’ve been used globally with excellent safety and efficacy. At Papillon Medical, Dr. Stella brings over 15 years of experience with thread lifting techniques, offering patients trusted results with advanced skill.

How long is the recovery time?

Recovery is minimal. Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising at the thread insertion points, which typically resolves within a few days. You can usually return to most normal activities within 24–48 hours.

When will I see results?

Results can be seen immediately after treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks as your body produces collagen around the threads. Full results are typically visible within 4–6 weeks.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients find the procedure quite tolerable. A topical or local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. The threads are inserted using fine needles or cannulas, with minimal trauma to the tissue.

Is it safe?

Yes. Aptos Threads are Health Canada-approved and made from materials safely absorbed by the body. Dr. Stella’s extensive experience with threads ensures that safety and precision are always the top priority.

How is this different from a surgical facelift?

Aptos Threads offer a non-surgical alternative with less downtime, lower risk, and no general anesthesia. While the results are more subtle than a surgical facelift, they are ideal for patients looking for a natural refresh without going under the knife.

Am I a good candidate?

If you’re experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity and want to restore lift and contour without surgery, you may be an excellent candidate. The best way to know is to book a consultation with Dr. Stella, who will assess your goals and customize your treatment plan.
