Aesthetic cosmetology is a field of cosmetology that deals with the elimination of signs of aging without surgical intervention.
Cosmetic procedures include a whole range of techniques: hardware technologies, injection techniques, thread lifts, 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 doctors tried to correct appearance defects, such as prematurely withered skin, insufficient volume of lips and cheeks, with the help of "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 back 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 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 of them) into the surface layers of the skin to a depth of 1. 5 to 6 mm. For injections, short and 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.
Along with moisturizing the skin, there are also those that fill 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 one excellent drug.
Calcium hydroxyapatite initiates the formation of its own connective tissue - it starts the process of formation of new collagen fibers. The latter takes on the function of a natural filler and supporting frame. In other words, thanks to the filler, it is possible not only to fill in folds and wrinkles, but also to tighten the oval of the face, and give the skin an unsurpassed velvety and silkiness.
The calcium hydroxyapatite filler 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 appearance. For example, one 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, due to their dense structure, they are able to model the contours of the face (cheeks, chin, areas around the eyes or forehead), neck, removing gravitational ptosis, that is, the omission of facial tissues, and smooth out 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, discomfort is minimized, the effect persists for a long time.
Active substances, getting to the problem area, stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, normalize slow 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 one 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 course of procedures, the skin tightens, acquires a healthy look and natural radiance.
The popular botulinum toxin therapy is performed with drugs that are based on class A botulinum toxin. This low-potency toxin blocks neuromuscular impulses, preventing the muscles in the upper part of the face from moving. Professional wrinkle correction with botulinum toxin allows you to smooth the 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 mobile wrinkles - the forehead, the brow bone. The duration of the effect obtained can reach up to a year, then the correction is repeated.
Injection techniques are effective for rejuvenation of any 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 out 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
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 (repair). The procedure takes place in 2 stages. At the first stage, blood is taken and purified in a special centrifuge separator. The device separates blood into plasma and erythrocyte mass. Platelets are concentrated in the plasma during repeated purification. At the second stage, the patient is injected with purified plasma into problem areas to stimulate the regenerative function.
Thanks to injections of platelet-rich plasma, the body receives a powerful stimulus to launch natural rejuvenating 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 launched. This helps to smooth and reduce wrinkles. In addition, new collagen gives the face a radiant, healthy tone.
Swiss plasma lifting
More advanced plasma-lifting technology. Its name speaks about 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 tissues from the inside. At the same time, the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid is activated, and a tightening skin frame is formed. Autoplasma erases all traces of fatigue, saturates with oxygen, perfectly moisturizes the skin, gives a healthy pink tint.
As a 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 rather limited number of medical institutions work 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 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 treatment, the consequences of which are still poorly understood by science. This procedure consists of several steps:
- SPRS-diagnosis of the skin and the creation of a "Passport of the patient's skin";
- SPRS-programs for the correction of changes and prevention of skin aging;
- creating an SPRS preparation - a product containing the patient's own fibroblasts;
- conducting a therapeutic course;
- storage of skin fibroblasts in a cryobank.
At the preliminary 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 diagnostics, the patient receives a "Skin Passport", where all individual characteristics are entered, as well as detailed information on 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 "leave"!
A very important feature of cell therapy is that the drug obtained once will serve torejuvenation for life!Part of the grown fibroblasts is placed in a cryobank, where they can be stored in liquid nitrogen for an unlimited time. The cells stored in this way are used for the production of a cell preparation throughout the life of the patient.
Thread technologies
Reinforcing
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 from PDO (polydioxanone) medical suture material 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 certain method of installing mesothreads, polydioxanone enhances 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 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 quick and safe tightening is needed. This may be the skin of the abdomen, sagging after pregnancy or a strict diet, the décolleté, thighs, buttocks, inner surfaces of the shoulders or thighs.
lifting
Lifting threads are used for non-surgical facelift. Once they were 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 from self-absorbable materials, they are safe and give a long-lasting tightening effect. So, Italian threads are made from the surgical material of caprolactone, which is completely absorbed in the body and excreted from it naturally. During production, double cross-polymerization of caprolactone is carried out according to 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 due to 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 soft tissues. Thus, they form a supporting frame that tightens the contours of the face. Notches prevent the displacement of fabrics and threads to other areas. The special structure allows you to get an instant 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 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, sluggish vital processes. An exceptional feature of the drug is that it is a drug of high-precision, directional action. Unlike many chemical medicinal compounds, the placental drug, while healing, does not cause any side harm to the body. Such preparations are called intelligent or "smart", as they themselves detect imbalance points 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 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
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 ultrasonic. Fractional photothermolysis is done 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 does not act on a large area, but on a micro-section of the skin, comparable in diameter to the diameter of a human hair. During exposure, old and damaged collagen and elastin are destroyed in the microsection. As a response, the body begins to restore the destroyed area - a new skin appears, free from defects. Since 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 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, defect-free skin, the result of rejuvenation will last for many years. And scars and stretch marks will disappear forever.
The best ultrasound procedure to date is Altera therapy, carried out on an American device. This is the world's only micro-focused ultrasound skin-lifting treatment that works at the level of the SMAS (musculo-aponeurotic system) without damaging the skin surface. It is at the level of SMAS that plastic surgeons work when they perform a surgical skin tightening.
Deep SMAS-lifting with an ultrasonic device includes tightening of the skin, subcutaneous fat, mimic muscles, collagen and elastin fibers. Such a tightening gives a pronounced and long-term 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 high degree of safety of Altera therapy have been scientifically proven. Over 1, 000, 000 procedures have already been performed worldwide.
Age for aesthetics is not a hindrance. It's never too late to start the process. But everything is extremely individual.
Body shaping
Many techniques have also been developed for the harmony of the body: from traditional massages and body wraps to hardware techniques.
The unique Israeli hardware system makes it possible 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 leading to diseases.
High frequency ultrasonic waves freely penetrate to a depth of 8-9 cm 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, ultrasonic waves with a low frequency 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 ones, cannot do this. Meanwhile, eliminating belly fat is not just about losing weight. This improvement and improvement of the work of internal organs is the key to 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 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 safe and its impact does not leave marks. It gives excellent results by acting on fat deposits on the back, hips, buttocks, the inner surface of the arms, 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 volumes 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 out in the process of life. After all, our hair is subjected to constant stress - either winter cold or summer heat, absorb toxic emissions. The clinics carry out complex computer photo and video diagnostics using a camera and a 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 to alopecia (baldness).
In addition, microelement analysis, mycological and bacteriological studies of the scalp 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 done. It 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 technology activates the hidden resources of the body, awakening dormant hair follicles and stimulating the growth of new hair without a surgical transplant.
At what age should aesthetic procedures be done?
If we are talking about teenage acne and its consequences, then procedures can be done already at the age of 15-16.
But on average, prevention should be done after 25 years. After 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 always young and beautiful. Therefore, the first thing to do is to findyour cosmetologist and your clinic!
