Aesthetic cosmetology is a field of cosmetology that deals with the removal of signs of aging without surgery.
Cosmetic procedures include a whole range of techniques: hardware technologies, injection techniques, thread lifting, rejuvenation at one's own expense (plasma therapy, cell rejuvenation), body shaping methods. And every year the choice of procedures becomes bigger.
Injection techniques
As early as the 19th century, some innovative doctors tried to correct appearance defects, such as prematurely withered skin, insufficient volume of lips and cheeks, with the help of "beauty injections. " Patients' own ointment was used for this. However, it quickly disappeared.
In the nineties 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 into the face and other parts of the body, which unsurpassedly moisturizes the skin. It is this acid that the body perceives best without causing rejection and allergic reactions.
In general, all injection techniques are based on the introduction of microdoses of individual drugs (or their cocktails) into the surface layers of the skin to a depth of 1. 5 to 6 mm. Short and thin needles with a syringe or a special device - a mesoscooter - are used for injections. 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 thick 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 initiates the process of formation of new collagen fibers. The latter takes over the function of a natural filler and a supporting frame. In other words, thanks to the filler, it is possible not only to fill in wrinkles and creases, but also to tighten the oval of the face, and give the skin an unsurpassed velvety and silky.
Calcium hydroxyapatite-based filler is also suitable for non-surgical correction of the shape of the nose (smoothing the hump, modeling the tip). It is 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, remove wrinkles, correct the appearance. For example, one dermal filler consists of cross-linked molecules of hyaluronic acid, which increases its ability to retain more moisture and initiates skin renewal processes many times faster. The unique feature of 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, eliminating gravitational ptosis, or omission. facial tissues and smooth out wrinkles on the neck. .
Mesotherapy
Complex application 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 restrictions, discomfort is minimized, the effect lasts a long time.
The active substances, coming to the problem area, stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, normalize slow metabolism, improve blood circulation. The choice of drugs is made 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. Recommended for use on any part of the body. The positive result is visible after the first visit to the cosmetologist, but after the treatment the skin tightens, gets a healthy look and a natural glow.
Popular botulinum toxin therapy is performed with drugs based on botulinum toxin class A. This low-potency toxin blocks neuromuscular impulses, preventing muscle movement in the upper face. Professional wrinkle correction with botulinum toxin allows you to smooth the skin while maintaining a natural facial expression. The dosage is chosen individually, taking into account the initial data of the patient. The agent is injected with a thin needle in places with moving wrinkles - forehead, eyebrow. The duration of the achieved effect can reach up to a year, and then 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 visible after the first 1-2 procedures. The standard course is 8-10 sessions.
Injection techniques enable correction of the shape of the cheekbones, cheeks, chin, removal of nasolabial folds, smoothing of the skin relief and removal of crow's feet around the eyes.
The return of youth at the expense of the body's own resources
Plasmolifting
A procedure based on introducing a person's own plasma under the skin. Plasma is a liquid part of the blood that plays a role in the process of tissue regeneration (repair). The procedure takes place in 2 phases. In the first phase, the blood is taken and purified in a special centrifuge separator. The device separates blood into plasma and erythrocyte mass. Platelets are concentrated in plasma during repeated purification. In the second stage, the patient is injected with purified plasma into problem areas in order to stimulate regenerative function.
Thanks to injections of platelet-rich plasma, the body receives a strong stimulus to start the natural processes of rejuvenation. The patient's metabolic processes are normalized, blood circulation improves. New molecules of hyaluronic acid begin to form in the dermis, and a strong process of production of young collagen and elastin is started. This helps to smooth and reduce wrinkles. In addition, the new collagen gives the face a radiant, healthy tone.
Swiss plasma lifting
Advanced plasma lifting technology. Its name speaks to the principle of operation of this technique. Regen is an abbreviation for regeneration, and ACR is an abbreviation for Autologous Cell Rejuvenation (ACR).
Two active substances are obtained from the patient's blood. Autogel fills in wrinkles and begins to regenerate tissues from within. At the same time, the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid is activated and a tight skin frame is formed. Autoplasma erases all traces of fatigue, saturates with oxygen, perfectly moisturizes the skin, gives a healthy pink shade.
As a result, the skin becomes elastic, thick, taut, radiant as it was in youth. Wrinkles, creases, traces of acne, 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 rather limited number of medical institutions work with cells. Because these are very complex, subtle techniques that do not forgive mistakes and require the highest level of doctor training. Interest in this therapy in the world is growing from year to 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 treatment, the consequences of which are still poorly understood in science. This process consists of several steps:
- SPRS-skin diagnostics and production of "Patient's skin passport";
- SPRS-programs for correction of changes and prevention of skin aging;
- creation of SPRS preparation - a product that contains the patient's own fibroblasts;
- conducting a therapeutic course;
- storage of skin fibroblasts in a cryobank.
In the preliminary phase, the skin is examined at the level of microtexture by modern laboratory methods. The readiness of fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin is assessed. Based on the results of the diagnosis, the patient received 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 the microscopic area of the patient's skin, which are then injected into the skin.
The effect of cell therapy is visible immediately! In patients aged 45-50 years, at least 10-15 years "go away"!
A very important feature of cell therapy is that the drug obtained once will servelifelong rejuvenation!Part of the cultured fibroblasts is placed in a cryobank, where they can be stored in liquid nitrogen indefinitely. The cells stored in this way are used for the production of the cell preparation during the entire life of the patient.
Thread technologies
Reinforcement
The main task of thread strengthening (3D mesonite) is the internal rejuvenation of skin structures. The reinforcement threads are small and smooth, made of PDO (polydioxanone) medical suture material biocompatible with the human body. Polydioxanone causes fibroblasts to go from a passive to an active state and synthesize type 1 collagen (similar to what we produce at the age of 15-16). By a certain way of implanting mesonite, polydioxanone enhances the microcirculation of the blood, which gives a lipolytic effect, ie the removal of excess fluid from the body. This, in turn, leads to a reduction in tissue volume, smoothing of the skin, elimination of the effect of "orange peel" (cellulite). Therefore, in addition to facelifting, 3D mesonites can be used in any area where fast and safe tightening is required. It can be the skin of the abdomen, relaxed after pregnancy or a strict diet, décolleté, thighs, buttocks, inner surface of the shoulders or thighs.
lifting
Lifting sutures are used for non-surgical facelift. They used to be made of 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 of self-absorbing materials, they are safe and give a long-lasting tightening effect. Thus, Italian threads are made from the surgical material caprolactone, which is completely absorbed into the body and excreted from it naturally. During production, double transverse polymerization of caprolactone is carried out by a special technology. Thanks to him, the skin is completely renewed due to the creation of new collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid.
The effect of non-surgical plastic is achieved thanks to a special design. Designed in the shape of a fish bone with very small, almost invisible notches ("teeth"), these threads, when inserted under the skin, are attached with the help of "teeth" to soft tissues. Thus they form a supporting frame that tightens the contours of the face. Notches prevent the fabric and threads from moving to other areas. The special structure allows you to achieve the current lifting effect and keep it for a long time - from 3 to 5 years.
Maintaining tone and increasing the duration of active life
The unique highly purified placental 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 of the placenta stimulate stagnant, slowed down vital processes. An exceptional feature of the drug is that it is a drug of high precision, targeted action. Unlike many chemical medical compounds, the placental drug, while treating, does not cause any side effects in the body. Such preparations are called intelligent or "smart", because they themselves reveal points of imbalance in the body, functional disorders and have a targeted therapeutic effect.
In Japan, where almost all residents take placental medications, 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 efficiency and mental concentration increase. With regular intake of the placenta, a person looks and feels 10 years younger.
Hardware technologies
There are already hundreds of hardware techniques and their variants in the world today that are used to correct age-related changes. They are no worse than a surgeon’s scalpel, they remove wrinkles and tighten tissues that have been relaxed for 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 a large number of competitors, remain the best and safest.
The partial principle consists in the following: a thin laser beam does not act on a large area, but on a micro part of the skin, in a diameter comparable to the diameter of a human hair. During exposure, old and damaged collagen and elastin are destroyed in the micro section. In response, the body begins to rebuild the destroyed area - new skin appears without blemishes. As the diameter of the micro-damage is very small, and there are many healthy cells around, recovery is very fast, and the procedure is safe.
The upper layer of the skin - the epidermis - is not injured, so there is no need for clinical or home rehabilitation after the procedure. Fraxel laser can remove wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, acne, pigmentation.
Because Fraxel is a procedure that stimulates the formation of new skin without defects, the result of rejuvenation will last for many years. And the scars and stretch marks will disappear forever.
The best ultrasound procedure so far is Altera therapy, performed on an American device. This is the only microfocused ultrasonic skin lifting treatment in the world that works at the level of SMAS (musculo-aponeurotic system) without damaging the skin surface. At the SMAS level, plastic surgeons work when performing surgical skin tightening.
Deep SMAS-lifting with an ultrasound device includes tightening of the skin, subcutaneous fat, mimic muscles, collagen and elastin fibers. This 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 the correction of wrinkles. The efficacy and high level of safety of Altera therapy have been scientifically proven. Over 1, 000, 000 procedures have already been performed worldwide.
Age is not an obstacle for aesthetics. It is never too late to start the process. But everything is extremely individual.
Body shaping
Many techniques for body harmony have also been developed: from traditional massages and body wraps to hardware techniques.
Israel's unique hardware system allows you to get rid of deep fat deposits, which are covered with a thick layer of internal organs - liver, heart, stomach, kidneys, creating a significant load on these organs and leading to disease.
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 ultrasonic waves are used in the system. They penetrate into the surface layer to a depth of 3 cm and dissolve subcutaneous fat deposits. In this case, the hardware system functions like a classic ultrasonic liposuction.
No other system can cope with the difficult task of removing internal fat deposits. Diet, fitness or other exercises and workouts, even the most intense ones, cannot do that. Meanwhile, removing belly fat is not just about losing weight. This improvement and improvement 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 waist 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 "squeezes" excess fluid from the tissues, activates blood circulation, lymph flow, speeds up metabolic processes and eliminates congestion. The device adapts to the patient's body, is safe and its impact leaves no traces. It gives excellent results by acting on fatty deposits on the back, hips, buttocks, inner surface of the arms and legs. "Orange peel" is most often formed in these places.
The skin becomes smoother, firmer even after one procedure. And after a course of exposure, cellulite will disappear and body volume will immediately decrease by 2 sizes.
Trichology
Groomed hair is the key to success. But, unfortunately, for some they are not naturally too dense, while for others they begin to fade and fall out in the process of life. After all, our hair is subjected to constant stress - whether it is winter cold or summer heat, they absorb toxic emissions. Clinics perform complex computer photo and video diagnostics using a camera and software package. This is necessary in order to assess the condition of the hair and scalp, the degree of activity of the sebaceous glands, the genetic predisposition for alopecia (baldness).
In addition, micronutrient analyzes, mycological and bacteriological studies of the scalp are used in clinics. Before prescribing the 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 certain cases, spectral analysis is performed. It shows which components in the hair are in excess, and which are obviously 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 surgical transplantation.
At what age should aesthetic procedures be performed?
If we are talking about teenage acne and their consequences, then the procedures can be done as early as the age of 15-16.
But on average, prevention should work after 25 years. After 30 years, you will need fillers that correct wrinkles. After 40 years - lifting threads and hardware. But best of all, your beautician knows how to stay always young and beautiful. Therefore, the first thing to do is to findyour cosmetologist and your clinic!
