DOHA: In the ever-evolving world of aesthetic medicine, innovation and expertise often converge in carefully curated training sessions organised by leading medical companies.

Recently, Raw Medical took the initiative to enhance the skills of local clinics by bringing in renowned expert Dr Nodar Mdivani to share his knowledge of the revolutionary Aptos Thread technique.

Despite its growing popularity, many patients unfamiliar with the medical field may perceive the procedure as complex and potentially risky. However, Dr Mdivani assures that this is far from the truth.

"Aptos Threads have a long history, spanning 25 years, during which we have perfected methods that ensure the safety and satisfaction of our patients,” says Dr Mdivani.

He explains that the threads are carefully placed in the fat layer of the skin, an area with fewer blood vessels and nerves, making the procedure both safe and minimally invasive.

"The Aptos product is not just a thread—it’s a method,” he says, referring to the Aptos Excellence Method, Nano Excellence Method, and Excellence Soft Method, all designed to provide optimal results.

What makes Aptos Threads stand out in the crowded field of non-surgical rejuvenation, Dr Mdivani points out, is their unique design and composition.

As he explains, Aptos is the first barbed thread in the world, boasting multi-directional barbs that ensure a firm fixation in the fatty layer. This, according to Dr Mdivani, offers a natural lift that combats the effects of gravity and aging.

Additionally, he highlights that the inclusion of hyaluronic acid in the threads further enhances skin health and provides a lifting effect that can last up to two years.

Dr Mdivani is quick to dispel a common concern among patients regarding the loss of natural facial expressions after aesthetic procedures.

"With Aptos Threads, we simply fight against gravity and aging,” he explains.

"The threads lift the loose skin back to where it was 10-15 years ago, ensuring the results look entirely natural.” This natural approach to rejuvenation, Dr Mdivani asserts, is a key reason why patients choose Aptos over other options.

The procedure itself is remarkably swift, taking only about 15-20 minutes, according to DrMdivani. He adds, "I like to joke that in just 15 minutes, you could end up looking 15 years younger,” though he assures that his statement is grounded in the reality of the technique’s effectiveness.

Following the procedure, Dr Mdivani advises that patients can expect a brief recovery period, typically lasting 3 to 10 days, during which mild swelling and redness may occur. However, he notes that these symptoms generally subside within a few days.

Dr Mdivani stresses the importance of post-procedure care, which involves simple recommendations to ensure a smooth recovery.

The success and safety of Aptos Threads are further reinforced by the stringent training and qualifications required of doctors who use them, Dr Mdivani points out. "Only highly qualified doctors with years of experience in aesthetics can join our training,” he says.

Aptos trainers, according to Dr Mdivani, provide comprehensive theoretical and practical courses, ensuring that practitioners are well-equipped to deliver high-quality, safe results.

He highlights that Aptos Threads have garnered international recognition, with the technique now registered in over 100 countries.

"I’m sure you have a friend who has already had the procedure and is satisfied with the results,” he suggests.

Dr Mdivani advises potential patients to consult with someone who has undergone the procedure and then discuss it with their doctor to see if it’s the right choice for them.
