Unlike surgical facelifts, thread lifting is minimally invasive with shorter recovery time and natural-looking results\u2014making it one of the most popular facial contouring treatments in South Korea. During the absorption process, threads continuously stimulate collagen production for long-lasting skin tightening.<\/p>\n<h2>APTOS Thread Types at Rappoel<\/h2>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-title\">APTOS Spring<\/div>\n<p>Spiral structure provides multi-directional lifting.

Unlike surgical facelifts, thread lifting is minimally invasive with shorter recovery time and natural-looking results\u2014making it one of the most popular facial contouring treatments in South Korea. During the absorption process, threads continuously stimulate collagen production for long-lasting skin tightening.<\/p>\n<h2>APTOS Thread Types at Rappoel<\/h2>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-title\">APTOS Spring<\/div>\n<p>Spiral structure provides multi-directional lifting.
