Aptos thread lift results typically last for 18 to 24 months. This extended duration is due to a combination of immediate lifting effects and long-term benefits derived from internal physiological responses.
Understanding the Longevity of Aptos
The effectiveness and sustained duration of Aptos treatments stem from a multifaceted approach:
- Immediate Lifting: Upon insertion, Aptos threads provide an immediate physical lift to sagging skin. The design of the threads, often featuring small barbs or cones, allows them to securely anchor into the tissue, providing instant support and contouring.
- Long-Term Collagen Stimulation: Beyond the initial lift, the threads stimulate the body's natural collagen production. As the threads are biocompatible and gradually dissolve over time, they create a scaffolding that encourages the growth of new collagen around them. This neocollagenesis significantly improves skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture, contributing to the lasting anti-aging effects even after the threads have fully absorbed.
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Integration: Certain advanced Aptos thread types incorporate hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a powerful humectant that naturally occurs in the skin, known for its ability to attract and retain moisture. When included in the threads, HA further enhances skin hydration, volume, and quality, which helps to prolong and optimize the aesthetic results of the treatment.
Factors Contributing to Sustained Results
The sustained results of an Aptos thread lift are a testament to its dual action: instantly redefining facial contours while simultaneously promoting the skin's natural regenerative processes. This combination ensures that improvements are not only visible immediately but also continue to develop and last over a significant period, making it a popular choice for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
