The neck is one of the most telltale areas of aging — and one of the most overlooked. Loss of the cervicomental angle (the sharp jaw-to-neck transition), horizontal laxity, and vertical platysmal bands all signal age in a way that skincare alone cannot address. Rappoel Dermatology in Seoul uses APTOS cog thread technology to lift and redefine the neck and jawline without surgery or scars.

Common Neck Aging Concerns

• Lost cervicomental angle: Blurred jaw-to-neck boundary, less defined profile
• Double chin: Submental fat accumulation combined with skin laxity
• Deepened horizontal neck lines: Elasticity loss magnifies existing lines
• Platysmal bands: Vertical cord-like prominences, more visible with movement
• Overall descended appearance: Facial descent extending into the neck

How APTOS Neck Thread Lift Works

APTOS is one of the world’s most established thread lift brands. Their Cog barbed threads, once inserted under the neck skin:

• Provide immediate mechanical lifting via barb anchoring
• Stimulate collagen fiber encapsulation around the thread for lasting structural support
• Are customizable in direction — targeting the cervicomental angle, jawline, or horizontal neck laxity
• Gradually absorbed over 6–12 months; collagen framework persists beyond

Rappoel’s APTOS Expertise

Rappoel’s physician holds APTOS 2026 Q1 Vanguard certification — a globally recognized advanced proficiency designation awarded to the world’s leading APTOS practitioners. The clinic has extensive experience with neck and jaw contouring across a range of aging presentations.

Neck vs. Facial Thread Lift Considerations

• Neck skin is thinner — thread diameter and insertion depth are carefully calibrated
• High neck mobility requires thread vector design that accounts for dynamic stress
• Combining neck and facial thread lifts creates a seamless lower-face-to-neck contour
