Dr. George Sulamanidze for AMARTA

Dr. George Sulamanidze's approach to aesthetic medicine is rooted in the belief that beauty should enhance, not alter, one's natural features. This philosophy is reflected in the results of Aptos procedures, where the aim is to achieve a youthful, refreshed appearance that remains true to the individual's unique characteristics.

Aptos thread lifting is more than a cosmetic procedure; it is an art form that requires precision and a deep understanding of natural beauty. The threads, akin to the delicate veins of a leaf, are designed to integrate seamlessly with the skin, providing support and promoting natural regeneration. The result is a rejuvenation that is not forced but organic, much like the growth of a plant nurtured by the earth.

Can you tell us about the origins of Aptos and its evolution?

Aptos began in 1996 with my father, Dr. Marlen Sulamanidze, who developed the Aptos thread lifting technique. Originally known as Aptos Feather Lift, the method utilized special threads to gently lift and rejuvenate the skin. The feather in our logo symbolized lightness and natural beauty, reflecting our commitment to achieving results that harmonize with our patients’ natural features. The essence of the Aptos threads lies in their design: smooth threads with barbs resembling the feathers of birds. These feather-like barbs enable the threads to secure themselves firmly within the tissues, creating an effective lifting effect and a natural framework beneath the skin. Essentially, this mimics the way natural collagen in youthful skin holds it in a lifted position. As we age and lose this collagen, the threads help restore these natural connections in the tissues, effortlessly and naturally rejuvenating the face's structure and form, bringing back its youthful state. Over the years, we have innovated continuously, expanding our techniques and products to enhance the natural beauty of our clients while minimizing invasiveness and recovery time.

Your work with Aptos beautifully complements the theme of the project shot in the Dendrology Park, illustrating the profound connection between human innovation and the timeless beauty of nature.

It has been a pleasure to support the project. Projects like these remind us of the importance of harmony between human creativity and the natural world. We are proud to be part of this narrative. This editorial is more than a showcase of fashion and beauty innovations; it is a celebration of the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. As David Koma's collection brings the vibrancy of flowers to life and Amarta’s project integrates the avian splendor of nature, Aptos threads weave a narrative of natural beauty and rejuvenation. In this convergence of art, fashion, and medical innovation, we find a powerful testament to the enduring allure of nature and our intrinsic connection to it.

The incorporation of the bird element into the project is not merely aesthetic; it is symbolic of the delicate and intricate balance that exists in nature. Birds, with their freedom and grace, represent the ultimate return to nature - a theme that resonates deeply with the ethos of Aptos. The feather, a recurring motif in Aptos' history, signifies lightness and natural beauty, aligning perfectly with the project's vision.

How does the feather lift concept integrate with the theme of humans returning to nature?

The feather lift concept is inherently connected to nature, both in its symbolism and its practical application. Feathers are light, natural, and intricate, much like the results we aim to achieve with our thread lifts. By using techniques that stimulate the body's natural processes, such as collagen and elastin production, we ensure that the rejuvenation appears seamless and natural. This mirrors the broader theme of the project - returning to a state of natural balance and beauty, much like the sylphs harmonizing with the flora and fauna in the photo project.

Can you describe the patient experience with Aptos thread lifting and how it embodies this natural philosophy?

Aptos thread lifting is designed to be a gentle, minimally invasive procedure. The threads provide an immediate lifting effect and continue to rejuvenate the skin over time by stimulating natural collagen production. This process results in subtle, natural-looking enhancements that align with the patient’s own beauty. The experience is akin to nurturing a garden - patiently allowing nature to take its course while providing the right conditions for growth and renewal.

In what ways does Aptos continue to innovate and stay connected to its roots in natural beauty?

Innovation at Aptos is driven by our dedication to enhancing natural beauty through advanced technology. We constantly develop new thread types and techniques to improve efficacy and patient comfort. Our methods are designed to work in harmony with the body’s natural processes, ensuring long-lasting and natural-looking results. Looking forward, we are also exploring sustainable practices and eco-friendly materials, further aligning our work with the principles of natural harmony and respect for the environment.

While Aptos is at the forefront of technological advancements in aesthetic medicine, it remains deeply connected to its origins. The continuous development of new threads and techniques is driven by a commitment to improving patient outcomes while respecting the natural processes of the body. This balance of innovation and tradition is what sets Aptos apart in the field of aesthetic enhancements.

Looking ahead, Aptos is dedicated to integrating more sustainable and eco-friendly practices into its operations. This commitment to environmental stewardship is not only a reflection of its respect for nature but also an acknowledgment of the interconnectedness of human health and the environment.
