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 technology, injection techniques, thread lifting, rejuvenation at the expense of the body's own resources (plasma therapy, cell rejuvenation), methods of body shaping. And every year the choice of procedures is growing.
Injection techniques
As early as the 19th century, some innovative physicians tried to correct appearance defects, such as prematurely dry skin, insufficient lip and cheek volume, with the help of "beauty injections. " This used patients' own fat. distraction.
In the 90s of the last century a new favorite appeared - preparations based on hyaluronic acid. The name of this substance was given in the distant 1934 by scientists K. Mayer 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 is best absorbed 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 of them) 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.
Along with moisturizing the skin, there are also those that fill deep wrinkles. Then under the skin are injected special preparations - 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 - starts the process of formation of new collagen fibers. The latter assumes the function of a natural filler and supporting frame. In other words, thanks to the filler it is possible not only to fill the folds and wrinkles, but also to tighten the oval of the face and give the skin an unsurpassed velvety and silky.
Filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite is also suitable for non-surgical correction of the shape of the nose (smoothing the hump, modeling 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, remove wrinkles, correct the 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 can model the contours of the face (cheeks, chin, areas around the eyes or forehead), neck, eliminating gravitational ptosis, ie the leakage of facial tissues and smooths 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 seasonal restrictions, the discomfort is minimized, the effect lasts a long time.
The active substances, reaching the problem area, stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, normalize the 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. A positive result is seen after the first visit to a cosmetologist, but after a course of procedures the skin tightens, acquires a healthy look and natural glow.
Popular botulinum toxin therapy is performed with drugs that are based on botulinum toxin class A. This low-potency toxin blocks neuromuscular impulses, preventing the movement of muscles in the upper part of the face. Professional correction of wrinkles with botulinum toxin allows you to smooth the skin while maintaining the natural expression of the face. The dosage is chosen individually, taking into account the initial data of the patient. The product is injected with a thin needle in places with removable wrinkles - forehead, eyebrow bone. The duration of the effect obtained can be 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 allow you to correct the shape of the cheekbones, cheeks, chin, remove nasolabial folds, smooth the relief of the skin and get rid 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 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. The procedure takes place in 2 stages. In the first stage, blood is taken and purified in a special centrifugal separator. The device divides 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 in the problem areas to stimulate regenerative function.
Thanks to injections of platelet-rich plasma, the body receives a powerful stimulus to start natural rejuvenation processes. The patient's metabolic processes are normalized, blood circulation is improved. New hyaluronic acid molecules begin to form in the dermis and a powerful process of producing young collagen and elastin is also started. This helps to smooth and reduce wrinkles. In addition, the new collagen gives the face a radiant, healthy tone.
Swiss plasma lifting
More modern technology for plasma lifting. Its name speaks of the principle of operation of this technique. Regen means regeneration and ACR means autologous cell rejuvenation (ACR).
Two active substances are obtained from the patient's blood. Autogel fills in wrinkles and begins to regenerate the tissues inside. At the same time, the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid is activated and a tightening frame of the skin is formed. Autoplasma erases all traces of fatigue, saturates with oxygen, perfectly moisturizes the skin, gives a healthy pink hue.
As a result, the skin becomes as elastic, dense, toned, radiant as it was in his 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 very limited number of hospitals operate with cells. Because these are very complex, subtle techniques that do not forgive mistakes, requiring the highest level of training of doctors. Interest in this therapy in the world is growing from year to year.
Cell therapy
Self-healing technique. It is especially effective in 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-skin diagnostics and creation of "Patient's skin passport";
- SPRS-programs for correction of changes and prevention of skin aging;
- creation of SPRS preparation - a product containing the patient's own fibroblasts;
- conducting a therapeutic course;
- storage of skin fibroblasts in the cryobank.
At the preliminary stage, the skin is examined at the level of microtexture with the help of 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", which records all the individual characteristics, 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 visible immediately! In patients aged 45-50 years at least 10-15 years "relax"!
A very important feature of cell therapy is that the drug, once received, will serve forrejuvenation for life!Some of the grown fibroblasts are 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 a cell preparation throughout the patient's life.
Thread technologies
Reinforcement
The main task of the reinforcing fibers (3D meso-threads) is the internal rejuvenation of the skin structures. The reinforcing 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 to synthesize type 1 collagen (a similar one we produce at the age of 15-16). With a certain method of installing mezzanines, polydioxanone improves blood microcirculation, 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 mesofilaments can be used in any area where it is needed quickly and safelyThis may be the skin of the abdomen, relaxed after pregnancy or a strict diet, décolleté, thighs, buttocks, inner surfaces of the shoulders or thighs.
lifting
Lifting sutures are used for non-surgical facelift. They were once 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-unfolding materials, are safe and give a long-lasting tightening effect. Thus, Italian sutures are made from the surgical material caprolactone, which is completely absorbed into the body and excreted naturally. During the production, double transverse polymerization of caprolactone is performed by 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 plastics is achieved thanks to a special design. Designed in the shape of a herringbone with very small, almost invisible slits ("teeth"), these threads, when inserted under the skin, are attached with the help of "teeth" to the soft tissues. Thus, they form a supporting frame that tightens the contours of the face. The slits prevent the tissues and sutures from moving 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 increasing the duration of active life
A unique highly purified placental preparation from Japan cures 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, slow life processes. An exceptional feature of the drug is that it is a drug with high precision, targeted action. Unlike many chemical compounds, the placental drug, while healing, does not cause any side effects to the body. Such preparations are called intelligent or "smart" because they themselves detect points of imbalance in the body, functional disorders and have a targeted therapeutic effect.
In Japan, where almost all people take medication for the placenta, 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, there are hundreds of hardware techniques in the world and their variants used to correct age-related changes. They are no worse than a surgeon's scalpel, remove wrinkles and tighten tissues that have sagged over the years.
Some of the most effective are laser and ultrasonic. 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 in the following: a thin laser beam acts not on a large area, but on a microcut of the skin, comparable in diameter to the diameter of human hair. During exposure in the microslice, old and damaged collagen and elastin are destroyed. In response, the body begins to repair the destroyed area - new skin appears, without defects. Because the diameter of the microdamage 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, therefore after the procedure there is no need for clinical or home rehabilitation. With the help of the Fraxel laser you can remove wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, acne scars, 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 ultrasound skin lifting procedure in the world that works at the level of SMAS (muscular-aponeurotic system) without damaging the skin surface. It is at the SMAS level that plastic surgeons work when performing surgical skin tightening.
The deep SMAS-lifting with an ultrasound device includes tightening of the skin, subcutaneous adipose tissue, facial 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 effectiveness and high safety of Altera therapy have been scientifically proven. More than 1, 000, 000 procedures have already been performed worldwide.
Age is not an obstacle to 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.
The unique Israeli hardware system allows you to get rid of deep fat deposits, which are covered with a dense layer of internal organs - liver, heart, stomach, kidneys, creating a significant load on these organs and leading to disease.
High-frequency ultrasound waves penetrate freely to a depth of 8-9 cm and dissolve belly fat. It is then excreted from the body by 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 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 cope with the difficult task of getting rid of internal fat deposits. Diet, fitness or other exercises and workouts, even the most intense, cannot do this. Meanwhile, removing 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 body weight by 5-7 kg!
And once and for all an elite Italian device will help you 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 removes congestion. The device adapts to the patient's body, is safe and leaves no traces. Gives excellent results by affecting fat deposits on the back, hips, buttocks, inner surface of the arms and legs, and it is in these places that the "orange peel" is most often formed.
The skin becomes smoother, firmer even after one procedure. And after exposure to the course, cellulite will disappear, and body volume will decrease immediately 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 into the process of life. After all, our hair is under constant stress - or winter cold or summer heat, absorbs toxic emissions. The clinics perform complex computer photo and video diagnostics with the help of 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 scalp examinations are used in clinics. Before prescribing 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 certain cases, spectral analysis is performed. Shows which components in the hair are in excess and which are clearly not enough. Based on the diagnosis, therapy is prescribed - from injection to laser. Modern technologies activate the body's hidden resources by awakening dormant hair follicles and stimulating the growth of new hair without surgical transplantation.
At what age should aesthetic procedures be performed?
If we talk about teenage acne and its consequences, then the procedures can be done as early as 15-16 years of age.
But on average, prevention must be done after 25 years. In 30 years you will need fillers that correct wrinkles. After 40 years - threads and hardware lifting. But best of all, your beautician knows how to stay young and beautiful. Therefore, the first thing you need to do is findyour cosmetologist and your clinic!
