FROM THE EXPERT’S DESK

In this era where everyone wants to look good and look young, Celebrity Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon Dr Parag Telang talks about problems related to ageing and how the aging face skin can be tightened.

Dr. Telang, what sets Aptos thread lifting methods apart as superior to other thread lifting options available in the Indian Market?

Well, there are plenty of threads available in Indian Aesthetic market now. Some companies manufacture PDO threads which are good but last only for few months. Others have longer lasting threads but the quality of lift obtained is poor or minimal. And most of the companies do not have a range of products to cater to different types of faces.

Aptos threads are made of PLA/PCL so they last for 18-24 months.

They have a 3rd Generation of threads which are enriched with hyaluronic acid ( HA) which no other company has. Plus they have a wide range of products for each area of the face and neck, so we can offer customized treatment plans for our patients.

In your professional assessment, how do Aptos thread lifting methods compare to other alternatives in terms of effectiveness and patient satisfaction in the Indian Context?

I feel Aptos threads are very effective because they have unique bidirectional cogs which give a good lifting effect and overall patients are quite happy with the outcome.

Can you elaborate on the specific advantages that Aptos Thread Lifting offers for different face types among Indian Patients?

There are different types of faces and each face has specific problems. So heavy faces need stronger threads for lifting, smaller areas need smaller length threads and so on. Aptos has such a wide range from visage excellence to nano and thread 2G etc. that you have so many more options to offer to each patient.

When it comes to longevity and lasting results, how do you perceive Aptos thread lifting methods performing in the Indian market?

There are very few companies which have PLA threads and Aptos was one of the first to launch PLA/PCL threads for longevity upto 2 years. So even when the threads have dissolved, the lift still remains upto this period.

Could you explain how the unique composition of Aptos threads contributes to their superiority and success ?

Lifted tissues need time to get attached to the new location. Therefore the threads need to support the tissues till then. Aptos threads with their unique PLA/PCL composition ensure good lift and support to the tissues, giving consistent results. This is the reason for their popularity.

Many doctors perceive that threads that are thicker have better tensile strength. Is it true ? How do you compare Aptos on that front with other threads?

More than the tensile strength of the thread, what matters is the quality of the cogs and the ability to hitch to the tissues. Aptos threads have unique bidirectional and also circumferential 360 degree cogs which ensure optimal tissue interlocking and stable fixation. Plus they have more than 25 patented methods of insertion of these threads which have been devised by their team of Plastic Surgeons.
