Aesthetic cosmetology is a field of cosmetology that deals with eliminating the signs of aging without surgery.
Cosmetic procedures include a whole range of techniques: hardware technologies, injection techniques, thread lifting, rejuvenation at the expense of the body's own resources (plasma therapy, cell 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 doctors tried to correct appearance defects, such as prematurely withered skin, insufficient volume of the lips and cheeks, using "beauty injections". For this, the patients' own fat was used. However, it quickly dissipated.
In the 90s of the last century, a new favorite appeared - preparations based on hyaluronic acid. The name of this substance was given in 1934 by scientists 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 in the face and other parts of the body, which hydrates the skin in an unparalleled way. It is this acid that is best perceived by the body, without causing rejection or allergic reactions.
In general, all injection techniques are based on the introduction of microdoses of individual drugs (or cocktails thereof) into the superficial layers of the skin to a depth of 1. 5-6 mm. For injections, short, thin needles with a syringe or a special device - a mesoscooter are used. In addition to hyaluronic acid, vitamins and amino acids, botulinum toxin and enzymes are used as medicines.
With the help of preparations based on hyaluronic acid, such a popular procedure 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 main part of an excellent medicine.
Calcium hydroxyapatite initiates the formation of its own connective tissue - it starts the process of forming new collagen fibers. The latter assumes the function of natural filling and supporting frame. In other words, thanks to the filler, it is possible not only to fill in the folds and wrinkles, but also to tighten the oval of the face, and to give the skin an unequaled velvety and silky feel.
A filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite is also suitable for the non-surgical correction of the shape of the nose (smoothing of the bump, modeling of the tip). Used to harmonize the chin, rejuvenate the earlobes. Effective for cardinal rejuvenation of the back surface of the hands.
Modern hyaluronic preparations solve several problems at once: moisturize, eliminate wrinkles, correct appearance. For example, a dermal filler consists of cross-linked hyaluronic acid molecules, which increases its ability to retain more moisture and start skin renewal processes many times faster. The unique feature of these fillers is that, thanks to their dense structure, they are able to shape the contours of the face (cheeks, chin, areas around the eyes or forehead), neck, removing gravitational ptosis, cie the omission of tissue paper and smooth neck 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 season restrictions, discomfort is minimized, the effect persists for a long time.
Active substances, reaching the problem area, stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, normalize sluggish metabolism, improve blood circulation. The selection of drugs is carried out 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 any part of the body. A positive result is visible after the first visit to a cosmetologist, but after a series of procedures, the skin tightens, acquires a healthy look and natural glow.
Popular botulinum toxin therapy is performed with botulinum toxin class A drugs. This low-potency toxin blocks neuromuscular impulses, preventing the muscles of the upper face from moving. Professional botulinum toxin wrinkle correction works to smooth skin, while maintaining natural facial expressions. The dosage is selected individually, taking into account the initial data of the patient. The agent is injected with a thin needle into places with moving wrinkles - the forehead, the brow bone. The duration of the achieved effect can reach up to a year, then the correction is repeated.
Injection techniques are effective for rejuvenation of all parts of the body - face, décolletage and neck, arms, hips, general body shaping. The result is noticeable after the first 1-2 procedures. The standard course is 8 to 10 sessions.
Injection techniques make it possible to correct the shape of the cheekbones, cheeks, chin, to remove nasolabial folds, to smooth the skin relief and to remove crow's feet around the eyes.
The return of youth to the detriment of the body's own resources
Plasmolifting
A procedure based on the introduction of a person's own plasma under the skin. Plasma is the liquid part of blood that plays a role in the process of tissue regeneration (repair). The procedure takes place in 2 stages. At the first stage, blood is collected and purified in a special centrifugal separator. The device separates blood in bulk from plasma and erythrocytes. Platelets are concentrated in plasma during repeated purifications. In the second stage, the patient is injected with purified plasma into problem areas to stimulate regenerative function.
Through injections of platelet-rich plasma, the body receives a powerful stimulus to initiate natural rejuvenation processes. The patient's metabolic processes are normalized, blood circulation improves. In the dermis, new molecules of hyaluronic acid begin to form, and a powerful process of producing young collagen and elastin is also initiated. This helps smooth and reduce wrinkles. In addition, the new collagen gives the face a radiant and healthy tone.
Swiss plasma facelift
More advanced plasma lifting technology. Its name speaks of the principle of operation of this technique. Regen stands for regeneration and ACR stands for autologous cell rejuvenation (ACR).
Two active substances are obtained from the patient's blood. Autogel fills in wrinkles and begins to regenerate tissue from within. At the same time, the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid is activated and a firming frame of the skin is formed. Autoplasma erases all traces of fatigue, saturates with oxygen, perfectly moisturizes the skin, gives a healthy pink tint.
Result, the skin becomes as elastic, dense, toned, radiant as it was in its youth. Wrinkles, folds, 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 errors, requiring the highest level of training for doctors. Interest in this therapy around the world is growing year by year.
Cell therapy
Self-healing technique. It is especially effective for patients with obvious signs of aging and other structural skin changes.
It is important to note that cell therapy has nothing to do with stem cell treatment, the consequences of which are still poorly understood by science. This procedure includes several steps:
- SPRS-skin diagnosis and creation of a "Patient Skin Passport";
- SPRS programs for the correction of changes and the prevention of skin aging;
- create an SPRS preparation - a product containing the patient's own fibroblasts;
- conduct a therapeutic course;
- storage of skin fibroblasts in a cryobank.
At the preliminary stage, the skin is examined at the microtexture level using modern laboratory methods. The ability of fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin is assessed. Based on the diagnostic results, 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 are then injected into the skin.
The effect of cell therapy is immediately visible! In patients aged 45-50, at least 10-15 years "leave"!
A very important feature of cell therapy is that the drug obtained once will serve torejuvenation for life!A portion of the cultured fibroblasts is placed in a cryobank, where they can be stored in liquid nitrogen for an unlimited time. The cells thus stored are used for the production of a cell preparation throughout the life of the patient.
Yarn technologies
Reinforcement
The main task of reinforcing threads (3D mesothreads) is the internal rejuvenation of skin structures. The reinforcement threads are small and smooth, they are made of PDO (polydioxanone) medical suture material biocompatible with the human body. Polydioxanone changes the fibroblasts from a passive state to an active state and synthesizes type 1 collagen (a similar one is produced at 15-16 years). With a certain method of installing mesothreads, polydioxanone improves blood microcirculation, which gives a lipolytic effect, that is, the removal of excess fluid from the body. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in the volume of tissues, smoothing of the skin, elimination of the "orange peel" effect (cellulite). Therefore, in addition to lifting, 3D mesothreads can be used in all areas where fast and secure tightening is required. It can be the skin of the belly, slackened after a pregnancy or a strict diet, the neckline, the thighs, the buttocks, the internal faces of the shoulders or the thighs.
lifting
Lifting wires are used for non-surgical facelift. They used to be gold, but the metal does not dissolve in the tissues, and the constant presence of a foreign body under the skin is dangerous to health. Modern threads are made from self-absorbing materials, they are safe and give a lasting tightening effect. Thus, Italian threads are made from the surgical material of caprolactone, which is completely absorbed by the body and excreted naturally. During production, a double transverse polymerization of caprolactone is carried out using special technology. Thanks to it, the skin is completely renewed thanks to the formation of new collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid.
The effect of non-surgical plastics is achieved through a special design. Designed in the shape of a herringbone with very small, almost invisible notches ("teeth"), these threads, when inserted under the skin, are attached with the help of "teeth" to the soft tissues. Thus, they form a supporting framework that tightens the contours of the face. Notches prevent movement of fabrics and threads to other areas. The special structure allows you to achieve an instant lifting effect and keep it for a long time - from 3 to 5 years.
Maintain tone and increase working life
A unique highly purified placental preparation from Japan treats more than 150 diseases, including lowering blood pressure, preventing the development of diabetes, hypertension, stomach ulcers, migraines and arthritis.
The active substances of the placenta stimulate stagnant and sluggish vital processes. An outstanding feature of the drug is that it is a high-precision directional action drug. Unlike many chemical medicinal compounds, the placental drug, while healing, does not cause any secondary damage to the body. Such preparations are called smart or "intelligent", because they themselves detect points of imbalance in the body, functional disorders and have a targeted therapeutic effect.
In Japan, where almost all residents take placental drugs, the average life expectancy is 87 years, and menopause in Japanese women occurs at age 65. Men, with regular use of the drug, feel a constant surge of sexual energy, their efficiency and mental focus increase. With regular supply of the placenta, a person looks and feels 10 years younger.
Material technologies
Today in the world there are already hundreds of hardware techniques and their varieties used to correct age-related changes. They are no worse than a surgeon's scalpel, they remove wrinkles and tighten tissues that have sagged 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 was developed and patented by an American company. Fraxel lasers, despite the large number of competitors, remain the best and safest.
The fractional principle consists of the following: a fine laser beam does not act on a large surface, but on a micro-section of the skin, with a diameter comparable to the diameter of a human hair. During exposure, old and damaged collagen and elastin are destroyed in the microsection. In response, the body begins to restore the destroyed area - new skin appears, free from defects. Since the diameter of the microdamage is very small and there are many healthy cells, recovery is very fast and the procedure is safe.
The upper layer of the skin - the epidermis - is not injured, therefore, after the procedure, there is no need for a clinical or home rehabilitation process. 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 rejuvenation result will last for many years. And the scars and stretch marks will disappear forever.
The best ultrasound procedure to date is Altera Therapy, performed on an American machine. It is the only micro-focused ultrasound skin lifting treatment in the world that acts at the level of the SMAS (musculo-aponeurotic system) without damaging the surface of the skin. It is at the level of the SMAS that plastic surgeons work when performing surgical skin tightening.
Deep SMAS facelift with ultrasonic device includes tightening of skin, subcutaneous fat, mimic muscles, collagen and elastin fibers. Such tightening gives a pronounced and long-lasting rejuvenating effect.
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 efficacy and high degree of safety of Altera therapy have been scientifically proven. More than one million operations have already been performed worldwide.
Age for aesthetics is not an obstacle. It's never too late to start the process. But everything is extremely individual.
Body sculpting
Many techniques have also been developed for the harmony of the body: from traditional massages and body wraps to material techniques.
The unique Israeli hardware system allows you to get rid of deep fat deposits, which are covered with a dense layer of internal organs - the liver, heart, stomach, kidneys, creating a significant load on these organs and causingdiseases.
High frequency ultrasonic waves freely penetrate to a depth of 8-9cm and dissolve abdominal fat. After that, it is excreted from the body through the lymphatic system. This process is called visceral lipolysis. At the same time, low frequency ultrasonic waves are used in the system. They penetrate the superficial 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 cope with the difficult task of getting rid of internal fat deposits. Diet, fitness or other exercises and workouts, even the most intense ones, cannot do this. Meanwhile, getting rid of belly fat isn't just about losing weight. This improvement and enhancement of the work of 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 height by 4-8 cm and your body weight by 5-7 kilograms!
And once and for all, an elite Italian device will help get rid of cellulite.
The device works on the principle of deep vibration and compression. It "flushes" excess fluid from the tissues, activates blood circulation, lymphatic flow, accelerates metabolic processes and eliminates congestion. The device adapts to the patient's body, is safe and its impact does not leave traces. It gives excellent results by acting on the fatty deposits of the back, hips, buttocks, internal face of the arms and legs. It is in these places that "orange peel" most often forms.
The skin becomes smoother, firmer even after just one procedure. And after exposure to the course, cellulite will disappear and body volumes will immediately decrease 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 under constant stress - whether it's winter cold or summer heat, it absorbs toxic emissions. Clinics perform complex computer photo and video diagnostics using a camera and 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 studies of the scalp are used in clinics. Before prescribing treatment, the doctor studies in detail how the body is saturated with iron, what is the state of the thyroid gland and the level of sex hormones in the patient. In some cases, a spectral analysis is performed. It shows which components in the hair are in excess and which are clearly not enough. Based on the diagnosis, therapy is prescribed - from laser injection. Modern technology activates the body's hidden resources, awakening dormant hair follicles and stimulating new hair growth without surgical grafting.
At what age should cosmetic procedures be performed?
If we talk about teenage acne and its consequences, procedures can be performed from the age of 15-16.
But on average, prevention should be done after 25 years. After 30, you will need fillers that correct wrinkles. After 40 years - wire and hardware lifting. But above all, your beautician knows how to always stay young and beautiful. Therefore, the first thing to do is to findyour beautician and your clinic!
