[Hinews] Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic Introduces Premium Bio-Lifting ‘Aptos’

[Hinews] Skin aging goes beyond simply an increase in wrinkles; it progresses through an overall weakening of the skin’s support environment, including a decrease in collagen and elastin in the dermal layer and changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) structure. As a result, in the aesthetics and medical field, lifting procedures that aim not only for a pulling effect but also for improving the skin’s structural environment have recently been drawing attention.

Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic said it has introduced Aptos, a premium bio-lifting procedure that represents an advanced step beyond conventional PDO thread lifting, in line with this trend.

Aptos is a bio-lifting thread designed not merely for mechanical traction, but to induce tissue response and collagen and elastin production after insertion, allowing firmness to recover naturally over time.

In particular, Aptos’s Namica product combines hyaluronic acid with bioabsorbable materials based on PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) and PCL (Polycaprolactone). Its 특징 is that it aims to induce moderate changes while reducing the burden of skin irritation. Through a specially structured barb design, it stably supports tissue and, as it gradually dissolves in the body, focuses on progressively improving the skin’s structural balance and elasticity by promoting fibroblast activation and collagen production. Unlike conventional PDO threads, which focus on simple support and short-term lifting effects, Aptos is evaluated as a procedure based on the concept of “bio-lifting,” which improves the skin’s internal environment itself.

Aptos is a global lifting thread brand developed in Europe and is used in more than 100 countries worldwide based on clinical data accumulated over more than 30 years. In Korea, it has also received formal approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety as a thread for facial tissue fixation, securing safety and reliability.

The procedure should be performed by analyzing each individual’s skin condition and aging pattern and tailoring the type of Aptos thread, insertion direction, and depth accordingly. It should be delicately applied to match the anatomical characteristics of the face using various thread structures and designs. Rather than simply pulling up the skin, the goal should be to form a natural lifting line that harmonizes with the facial structure in order to achieve satisfactory results.

Hong Seong-taek, CEO of Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic, said, “Aptos is not simply a lifting procedure that pulls the skin, but a treatment that improves the skin’s internal environment and induces a natural recovery of firmness,” adding, “It could be a new option for patients who want a more advanced concept of lifting after PDO thread lifting.”

He also advised, “Because the treatment effect and response may vary depending on an individual’s skin condition and degree of aging, it is important to choose the appropriate method through sufficient consultation and an accurate diagnosis,” and “You should choose a medical institution that has the medical staff take full responsibility from consultation to treatment and aftercare, and that follows treatment principles prioritizing safety and clinical evidence.”
