These are substances that, when injected into the skin, stimulate the collagen production. This results in a gradual improvement in the appearance and texture of the skin. Aptos threads have small spikes throughout their length, which 'open' and 'anchor' to the skin, leading to its suspension and stimulation for collagen production.
