Irina Poleva about the features and personal secrets of successful thread correction

Thread techniques have for many years held a leading position among the most sought-after aesthetic procedures. With the help of threads, doctors have the opportunity to obtain a pronounced and lasting result of aesthetic correction, and, in particular, tissue lifting, without resorting to surgical intervention. Given the huge popularity of thread methods, many doctors are interested in what is the main secret of successful thread lifting. This is exactly what Irina Poleva, a dermatovenereologist, surgeon, professor at the University of Camerino (Italy), International Trainer in Aptos Methods, told in an exclusive interview for estet-portal.com.

Why do you think full face correction is very popular today?

The full face technique allows us to solve more than one problem in a patient in one session and in just one procedure. Today, it is very important for our patients to perform the correction in one procedure, because it allows them to save time on the following procedures, and gives them the opportunity to immediately get a more harmonious appearance. After all  the aging process is always accompanied by a general aging of the tissues, and, consequently, by a general ptosis of the face. That is why full face correction is so in demand today.

What are the risks associated with the full face correction procedure?

In this case, there are no special risks associated with the full face correction procedure. I do this with the Aptos Thread Methods (Ed. by TOP Cosmetics), which have been created and studied specifically to minimize any risk.

Doctors who follow the technique and inject the threads into the correct layer of facial tissues will most certainly not have unpleasant consequences. Of course, when we inject a lot of threads into the whole face, we have a greater risk of getting tissue swelling in the following days, and basically all the problems are related only to this.

What is the main feature of Aptos Excellence Elegance thread correction?

The Excellence Elegance method is especially important to me because it is one of the methods that I use the most in my office, using it not only for full face correction, but also for eyebrow lifting, lower third of the face and submandibular area . This method is especially good because we have a lot of threads and we can separate them into two halves of the face according to the project that we do with the patient before the procedure. I also like them because they have a good ability to catch on fabrics. And besides, a large number of these threads gives us the opportunity to stimulate the skin with a large amount of polylactic acid. And this is one of the main advantages of Aptos threads, since polylactic acid is the most powerful stimulator of collagen production. That's why I love Excellence Elegance yarns so much.

Aptos has many different types of threads, why do you choose Excellence Elegance for yourself?

I really like them because I am good at using them, and I think that every doctor chooses his favorite method. The second reason is a little bit dependent on my patients, as Excellence Elegance threads are very well priced. That is, their cost for the doctor is quite low, so any patient can  afford to do this procedure without a special blow to the wallet. Right now the economy in Italy where I work is in crisis and these threads are very popular. They help me to introduce the patient to the

Aptos technique, and then, later, maybe they can also make him some other, more expensive techniques.

Can you share your personal secret of successful thread correction?

It is no secret that it is very important to choose the right patient and explain to him what we can do with this method, and also to convey that this is not surgery after all. But it is important to emphasize the biostimulating effect of these threads.

Even though most of the time I use the Excellence Elegance method, which in theory doesn't have a fix point, I still try to fix them.

And how do I do it – I usually show in my courses. Come, I will be glad to share my techniques and little secrets.
