Aesthetic cosmetology is an area of cosmetology that deals with the elimination of signs of aging without surgery.
Cosmetic procedures include a wide range of techniques: hardware technologies, injection techniques, wire lifting, rejuvenation at the expense of the body's own resources (plasma therapy, cellular rejuvenation), body shaping methods. And every year, the choice of procedures becomes more and more.
Injection techniques
As early as the 19th century, some innovative physicians tried to correct appearance defects, such as prematurely withered skin, insufficient volume of lips and cheeks, using "beauty injections". For this, the patients' own fat was used. However, it quickly disappeared.
In the 90s of the last century, a new favorite appeared - preparations based on hyaluronic acid. The name of this substance was given back in 1934 by the researchers K. Meyer and J. Palmer.
Today, hyaluronic therapy is one of the most popular and sought after cosmetic procedures. It is based on the subcutaneous injection of synthetic hyaluronic acid on the face and other parts of the body, which moisturizes the skin unsurpassed. It is this acid that is best perceived by the body, without causing rejection and allergic reactions.
In general, all injection techniques are based on the introduction of microdoses of individual drugs (or cocktails thereof) into the surface layer of the skin at a depth of 1, 5 to 6 mm. For injections, use short and thin needles with a syringe or a special device - a mesoscooter. In addition to hyaluronic acid, vitamins and amino acids, botulinum toxin and enzymes are used as medicines.
Using preparations based on hyaluronic acid, a procedure as popular as lip augmentation is performed.
In addition to moisturizing the skin, there are also those that fill in deep wrinkles. Then special preparations are injected under the skin - fillers, which are based on dense substances that dissolve over time. For example, calcium hydroxyapatite, which is the mainstay of an excellent drug.
Calcium hydroxyapatite starts the formation of its own connective tissue - it starts the process of forming new collagen fibers. The latter assumes the function of natural filler and load-bearing frame. In other words, thanks to the filler, it is possible not only to fill in wrinkles and wrinkles, but also to tighten the oval of the face and give the skin an unsurpassed velvety and silky.
A filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite is also suitable for non-surgical correction of the nasal shape (smoothing of the hump, modeling of the tip). Used to harmonize the chin, rejuvenate the earlobes. Effective for cardinal rejuvenation of the back of the hands.
Modern hyaluronic preparations solve several problems at once: moisturizing, removing wrinkles, proper appearance. For example, one dermal filler consists of cross-linked hyaluronic acid molecules, which increase its ability to retain more moisture and start skin renewal processes many times faster. The unique thing about these fillers is that due to their dense structure they are able to model the contours of the face (cheeks, chin, areas around the eyes or forehead), neck, remove gravitational ptosis, ie omitting facial tissues and smoothingneck wrinkles. .
Mesotherapy
Complex introduction of active substances under the skin - effectively fights hair loss, dryness and dehydration of the skin, swelling, cellulite, pigmentation. The technique has no age and seasonal limitations, discomfort is minimized, the effect lasts for a long time.
Active substances that reach the problem area, stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, normalize slow metabolism, improve blood circulation. The selection of drugs is performed for each patient individually, taking into account the general condition of the skin.
Biorevitalization
A similar procedure, but based on the introduction of a drug into the dermis - hyaluronic acid. It is recommended for use on all parts of the body. A positive result is visible after the first visit to a beautician, but after a course of procedures, the skin is tightened, gets a healthy appearance and natural radiance.
The popular botulinum toxin treatment is performed with drugs based on botulinum toxin class A. This low-potency toxin blocks neuromuscular impulses and prevents the muscles in the upper part of the face from moving. Professional wrinkle correction with botulinum toxin allows you to smooth the skin while preserving natural facial expressions. The dosage is selected individually taking into account the patient's initial data. The drug is injected with a thin needle in places with mobile wrinkles - forehead, brow bone. The duration of the effect obtained can reach up to one year, after which the correction is repeated.
Injection techniques are effective for rejuvenating all parts of the body - face, décolleté and neck, arms, hips, general body shaping. The result is noticeable after the first 1-2 procedures. The standard course is 8-10 sessions.
Injection techniques make it possible to correct the shape of the cheekbones, cheeks, chin, remove nasolabial folds, smooth the skin relief and get rid of crow's feet around the eyes.
The return of youth at the expense of the body's own resources
Plasma lifting
A procedure based on the introduction of a person's own plasma under the skin. Plasma is the liquid part of the blood that plays a role in the process of tissue regeneration (repair). The procedure takes place in 2 steps. In the first step, blood is taken and cleaned in a special centrifuge separator. The device separates blood in plasma and erythrocyte mass. Platelets are concentrated in the plasma during repeated purification. In the second phase, the patient is injected with purified plasma into problem areas to stimulate regenerative function.
Thanks to injections of platelet-rich plasma, the body receives a powerful stimulus to start natural rejuvenating processes. The patient's metabolic processes are normalized, blood circulation is improved. In the dermis, new molecules of hyaluronic acid begin to form, and a powerful process of producing young collagen and elastin is also launched. This helps smooth and reduce wrinkles. In addition, new collagen gives the face a radiant, healthy tone.
Swiss plasma lift
More advanced plasma lifting technology. Its name speaks to the principle of operation of this technique. Regen stands for regeneration and ACR stands for Autologous Cellular Rejuvenation (ACR).
Two active substances are obtained from the patient's blood. Autogel fills wrinkles and begins to regenerate tissue from within. At the same time, the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid is activated, and a firming skin frame is formed. Autoplasm erases all traces of fatigue, saturates with oxygen, moisturizes the skin perfectly, gives a healthy pink hue.
As a result, the skin becomes as elastic, dense, toned, radiant as it was in its youth. Wrinkles, creases, acne marks, age spots and other aesthetic defects disappear.
SPRS therapy
This is a method of rejuvenation with its own fibroblasts - the main skin cells responsible for the production of young collagen and elastin.
Today, a fairly limited number of medical institutions work with cells. Because these are very complex, subtle techniques that do not forgive mistakes, it requires the highest level of medical training. Interest in this therapy in the world is growing year by year.
Cell therapy
Self-healing technique. It is especially effective for patients with obvious signs of age and other structural changes in the skin.
It is important to note that cell therapy has nothing to do with stem cell therapy, the consequences of which are still poorly understood by science. This procedure consists of several steps:
- SPRS diagnosis of the skin and creation of a "patient's skin passport";
- SPRS programs to correct changes and prevent skin aging;
- create an SPRS preparation - a product that contains the patient's own fibroblasts;
- holding a therapeutic course;
- storage of skin fibroblasts in a cryobank.
In the initial stage, the skin is examined at the level of microtexture using modern laboratory methods. The readiness of fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin is assessed. Based on the results of the diagnosis, the patient receives a "Skin Passport", in which all individual characteristics are entered, as well as detailed information about the rejuvenation program.
Millions of young fibroblasts are grown in the laboratory from a microscopic area of the patient's skin, which is then injected into the skin.
The effect of cell therapy is visible immediately! In patients aged 45-50 years, at least 10-15 years "leave"!
A very important feature of cell therapy is that the drug obtained once will serve torejuvenation for life!Some of the cultured fibroblasts are placed in a cryobank, where they can be stored in liquid nitrogen indefinitely. The cells stored in this way are used to make a cell preparation throughout the patient's life.
Thread technologies
Amplifying
The main task of reinforcing threads (3D mesothreads) is the internal rejuvenation of skin structures. The reinforcing threads are small and smooth, they are made of PDO (polydioxanone) medical suture material that is biocompatible with the human body. Polydioxanone causes fibroblasts to switch from a passive state to an active one and synthesize type 1 collagen (we produce a similar one at the age of 15-16). With a particular method of installing mesothreads, polydioxanone improves the microcirculation of the blood, giving a lipolytic effect, i. e. removal of excess fluid from the body. This in turn leads to a decrease in tissue volume, smoothing of the skin, elimination of the "orange peel" effect (cellulite). Therefore, in addition to facelift, 3D mesothreads can be used in any area where a fast and safe tightening is needed. This can be the skin on the abdomen, hanging after pregnancy or a strict diet, décolleté, thighs, buttocks, inner surfaces of shoulders or thighs.
lifting
Lifting wires are used for non-surgical facelift. Once they were made of gold, but the metal does not dissolve in tissues, and the constant presence of a foreign body under the skin is dangerous to health. Modern threads are made of self-absorbing materials, they are safe and provide a long-lasting firming effect. So Italian threads are made of the surgical material of caprolactone, which is completely absorbed in the body and excreted naturally from it. During production, a double transverse polymerization of caprolactone is carried out using a special technology. Thanks to it, the skin is completely renewed due to the formation of new collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid.
The effect of non-surgical plastic is achieved due to a special design. These threads, designed in the form of a herringbone with very small, almost invisible notches ("teeth"), are attached by means of "teeth" to soft tissue when inserted under the skin. Thus, they form a supportive frame that tightens the contours of the face. Notches prevent the movement of fabrics and threads to other areas. The special structure allows you to get an immediate lifting effect and keep it for a long time - from 3 to 5 years.
Maintaining tone and prolonging the duration of active life
A unique highly purified placenta preparation from Japan treats over 150 diseases, including lowering blood pressure, preventing the development of diabetes, hypertension, stomach ulcers, migraines and arthritis.
The active substances in the placenta stimulate stagnant, sluggish vital processes. An extraordinary feature of the drug is that it is a drug with high precision, directional effect. Unlike many chemical medicinal compounds, the placental drug, while healing, does not cause any side damage to the body. Such preparations are called intelligent or "smart", as they themselves detect imbalances in the body, functional disorders and have a targeted therapeutic effect.
In Japan, where almost all residents take placenta medication, the average life expectancy is 87 years, and menopause in Japanese women occurs at 65 years. Men, with regular use of the drug, feel a constant surge of sexual energy, their effectiveness and mental concentration increase. With regular intake of the placenta, a person looks and feels 10 years younger.
Hardware technologies
Today in the world, there are already hundreds of hardware techniques and their variants used to correct age-related changes. They are no worse than a surgeon's scalpel, they remove wrinkles and tighten tissues that have fallen down over the years.
Some of the most effective are laser and ultrasound. Fractional photothermolysis is performed with a Fraxel laser device. This unique technology appeared in 2004. It is developed and patented by an American company. Fraxel lasers, despite the large number of competitors, remain the best and safest.
The principle of fractionation consists in the following: a thin laser beam does not act on a large area, but on a micro-section of the skin that can be compared in diameter to the diameter of a human hair. During exposure, old and damaged collagen and elastin in the micro-section are destroyed. As a reaction, the body begins to restore the damaged area - a new skin appears, free of defects. Since the diameter of the microdamage is very small and there are many healthy cells around, the recovery is very fast and the procedure is safe.
The upper layer of the skin - the epidermis - is not damaged, therefore there is no need for a clinical or home rehabilitation process after the procedure. Using the Fraxel laser, you can remove wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, acne marks, pigmentation.
Since Fraxel is a procedure that stimulates the formation of new, flawless skin, the result of the rejuvenation will last for many years. And scars and stretch marks will disappear forever.
The best ultrasound procedure to date is Altera therapy, performed on a US device. This is the world's only microfocused ultrasound skin lifting treatment that works on a par with SMAS (musculo-aponeurotic system) without damaging the skin surface. It is at the SMAS level that plastic surgeons work when performing a surgical skin tightening.
Deep SMAS lifting with an ultrasound device includes tightening of the skin, subcutaneous fat, mimicking muscles, collagen and elastin fibers. Such a tightening provides a pronounced and long-lasting effect of rejuvenation.
With the help of Altera therapy, it is possible to achieve lifting and tightening of the skin of the face, neck and décolleté as well as to correct wrinkles. The effectiveness and the high degree of safety of Altera therapy have been scientifically proven. Over 1, 000, 000 procedures have already been performed worldwide.
Age of aesthetics is not an obstacle. It is never too late to start the process. But everything is very individual.
Body shaping
Many techniques for body harmony have also been developed: from traditional massage and body wrapping to hardware techniques.
The unique Israeli hardware system makes it possible to get rid of deep fat deposits, which are covered by a dense layer of internal organs - the liver, heart, stomach, kidneys, which creates a significant load on these organs and leads to diseases.
High-frequency ultrasonic waves penetrate freely to a depth of 8-9 cm and dissolve abdominal fat. It is then excreted from the body through the lymphatic system. This process is called visceral lipolysis. At the same time, low-frequency ultrasound waves are used in the system. They penetrate the surface layer to a depth of 3 cm and dissolve subcutaneous fat deposits. In this case, the hardware system works like a classic ultrasonic liposuction.
No other system can handle the difficult task of getting rid of internal fat deposits. Diet, fitness or other exercises and workouts, even the most intense, can not do this. Meanwhile, eliminating belly fat is not just about losing weight. This improvement and improvement of the work of the internal organs is the key to the health and youth of the whole organism!
Body shaping is so effective that in just 3-4 sessions you can reduce your waist by 4-8 cm, and your body weight by 5-7 kilos!
And once and for all, an elite Italian entity will help get rid of cellulite.
The device operates on the principle of deep vibration and compression. It "squeezes out" excess fluid from tissues, activates blood circulation, lymph flow, accelerates metabolic processes and eliminates congestion. The device adapts to the patient's body, is secure and its impact leaves no marks. It gives excellent results by acting on fat deposits on the back, hips, buttocks, the inner surface of the arms and legs. It is in these places that the "orange peel" is most often formed.
The skin becomes smoother, firmer even after one procedure. And after the course exposure, cellulite will disappear and body volume immediately decreases by 2 sizes.
Trichology
Well-groomed hair is the key to success. But unfortunately, for some they are naturally not too thick, while for others they begin to fade and fall out over the course of life. After all, our hair is exposed to constant stress - either winter cold or summer heat absorbs toxic emissions. The clinics perform complex computer photo and video diagnostics using a camera and a software package. This is necessary to assess the condition of the hair and scalp, the degree of activity of the sebaceous glands, the genetic predisposition to alopecia (baldness).
In addition, microelement analysis, mycological and bacteriological examinations of the scalp are used in clinics. Before the doctor prescribes a course of treatment, the doctor studies in detail how the body is saturated with iron, what is the condition of the thyroid gland and the level of sex hormones in the patient. In some cases, spectral analysis is performed. It shows which components of the hair are in excess and which are clearly not enough. Based on the diagnosis, therapy is prescribed - from injection to laser. Modern technology activates the body's hidden resources, awakens dormant hair follicles and stimulates the growth of new hair without a surgical transplant.
At what age should aesthetic procedures be performed?
If we talk about teenage acne and its consequences, then procedures can be performed as early as 15-16 years of age.
But on average, prevention should happen after 25 years. After 30 years, you need fillers that correct wrinkles. After 40 years - thread and hardware lift. But best of all, your beautician knows how to always stay young and beautiful. Therefore, the first thing to do is to findyour beautician and your clinic!
