Aesthetic cosmetology is a field of cosmetology that deals with the elimination of the signs of aging without surgery.
Cosmetic procedures include a whole range of techniques: hardware technologies, injection techniques, lifting of threads, rejuvenation at the expense of the body's own resources (plasma therapy, cell rejuvenation), toning methods. And year after year, there is more and more choice of procedures.
Injection techniques
As early as the 19th century, some innovative physicians tried to correct appearance defects with "beauty injections, " such as insufficient volume of premature dehydrated skin, lips, and faces. For this, the patients used their own fat. However, this quickly dissipated.
In the 90s of the last century, a new favorite appeared - hyaluronic acid-based preparations. This material was named 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 provides unsurpassed hydration to the skin. This acid is best perceived by the body without causing rejection and allergic reactions.
In general, all injection techniques are based on the delivery of microdoses of individual drugs (or their cocktails) to the surface layers of the skin to a depth of 1. 5 to 6 mm. Short and thin needles are used for injections 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 drugs.
Hyaluronic acid-based formulations are used to perform a popular procedure such as lip augmentation.
In addition to hydrating the skin, there are also those that fill in deep wrinkles. Special formulations are then injected under the skin - fillers based on dense substances that dissolve over time. For example, calcium hydroxyapatite, which is a major component of an excellent drug.
Calcium hydroxyapatite initiates the formation of its own connective tissue - it initiates the formation of new collagen fibers. The latter has the function of a natural filler and a support 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 give the skin unsurpassed velvetiness and silkiness.
The 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 and rejuvenate the earlobe. Effective for cardinal rejuvenation of the back surface of the hands.
Modern hyaluronic preparations solve several problems at once: they hydrate, wrinkle and correct the appearance. For example, one of the dermal fillers consists of crosslinked hyaluronic acid molecules, which increases the ability to retain more moisture and start skin regeneration processes many times faster. The unique property of these fillers is that due to their dense structure they are able to model the contours of the face (face, chin, areas around the eyes or forehead), neck, eliminating gravitational ptosis, i. e. the omission of the face. facial tissues and smoothes neck wrinkles.
Mesotherapy
Complex delivery of the active ingredients under the skin - effectively fights hair loss, dehydration and dehydration of the skin, swelling, cellulite, pigment spots. The technique has no age or seasonal restrictions, inconvenience is minimal, and the effect lasts a long time.
By reaching the problem area, the active ingredients stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, normalize the slow metabolism and improve blood circulation. The selection of drugs is made individually for each patient, taking into account the general condition of the skin.
Biorevitalization
It is a similar procedure, but it is based on the delivery of a drug called hyaluronic acid. It is recommended for use on any part of the body. The positive result is already visible after the first visit to the beautician, but after one procedure the skin becomes firmer, gets a healthy look and a natural glow.
Popular botulinum toxin therapy is performed with class A botulinum toxin-based drugs, a low-acting toxin that blocks neuromuscular impulses, preventing movement of the muscles of the upper face. Professional wrinkle correction with botulinum toxin allows the skin to be smoothed while maintaining natural facial expressions. The dose is selected individually based on the patient's initial data. The drug is injected with a thin needle into a place where there are motile wrinkles - on the forehead, eyebrows. The duration of the effect can be up to one year, after which the correction is repeated.
Injection techniques are effective for rejuvenating any part of the body - face, décolleté and neck, arms, hips, general shaping. The result is noticeable after the first 1-2 procedures. The standard course is 8-10 times.
Injection techniques allow the shape of the cheekbones, cheeks, chin to be corrected, the nasolabial folds to be removed, the bulging of the skin to be smoothed out, and the crow's feet around the eyes to be removed.
The return of youth at the expense of the organization’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. In the first stage, blood is taken and purified in a special centrifuge separator. The device separates blood into plasma and erythrocyte mass. During repeated purification, platelets are concentrated in the plasma. In the second stage, the patient is injected with purified plasma to the problem areas to stimulate regenerative function.
Thanks to the injections of platelet-rich plasma, the body receives a strong stimulus to start natural rejuvenation processes. The patient's metabolic processes normalize and blood circulation improves. New hyaluronic acid molecules begin to form in the dermis, and a strong process of young collagen and elastin production also begins. This helps smooth out 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 stands for Regeneration and ACR stands for Autologous Cellular Rejuvenation (ACR).
Two active substances are obtained from the patient's blood. The autogel fills in wrinkles and begins to regenerate tissues from the inside. At the same time, the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid is activated and a firming skin frame is formed. Autoplasma eliminates all traces of fatigue, saturates with oxygen, perfectly hydrates the skin, gives a healthy pink hue.
As a result, the skin will be as supple, dense, toned, radiant as it was in its youth. Wrinkles, creases, pimples, age spots and other aesthetic flaws disappear.
SPRS therapy
It is a rejuvenating method with its own fibroblasts - the main skin cells responsible for producing young collagen and elastin.
Today, a fairly limited number of healthcare institutions work with cells. Because these are very complex, subtle techniques that do not forgive mistakes and require the highest level of training from doctors. The interest in this therapy in the world is growing year by year.
Cell therapy
Self-healing technique. It is especially effective in patients with obvious signs of aging 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 little known in science. This procedure consists of several steps:
- Diagnosis of skin SPRS and preparation of a "patient skin passport";
- SPRS programs to correct changes and prevent skin aging;
- Creating an SPRS formulation - a product containing the patient's own fibroblasts;
- conducting a therapeutic course;
- storage of skin fibroblasts in cryobank.
In the preliminary stage, the skin is examined at the level of microtexture by modern laboratory methods. The ability of fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin is assessed. Based on the results of the diagnosis, the patient will receive a "Skin Passport" in which all individual characteristics will be 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 is then injected into the skin.
The effect of cell therapy is immediately visible! Patients aged 45-50 will "go" for at least 10-15 years!
A very important feature of cell therapy is that the drug once received serves itrejuvenation for life!Some of the adult fibroblasts are placed in a cryobank where they can be stored in liquid nitrogen indefinitely. The cells thus stored are used during the life of the patient to produce a cell preparation.
Fiber technologies
Confirmatory
The main function of reinforcing fibers (3D meso fibers) is to rejuvenate the internal structures of the skin. The reinforcing fibers are small and smooth, made of OEM (polydioxanone) medical suture, and are biocompatible with the human body. Under the influence of polydioxanone, fibroblasts switch from the passive state to the active state and synthesize type 1 collagen (we also produce a similar one at the age of 15–16 years). In some methods of installing meso fibers, polydioxanone increases the microcirculation of the blood, which has a lipolytic effect, which is to remove excess fluid from the body. This leads to a decrease in tissue volume, a smoothing of the skin, and the elimination of the "cellulite" effect. Therefore, in addition to facelift, 3D mesos can be used in all areas where fast and safe tightening is required. or sagging after a strict diet, the inner surface of the décolleté, thighs, buttocks, shoulders, or thighs.
lifting
Lifting threads are used in non-surgical facelifts. They were once 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 fibers are made of self-absorbing materials, are safe and provide a long-lasting tightening effect. So the Italian fibers are made from the surgical material of caprolactone, which is completely absorbed by the body and naturally excreted from it. During production, double cross-polymerization of caprolactone is carried out using special technology. As a result, the skin is completely renewed due to the formation of new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
The effect of non-surgical plastic surgery is due to the special design. Designed to form a herringbone with very small, almost invisible incisions ("teeth"), these fibers are placed under the skin and attached to the soft tissues using the "teeth". This creates a support frame that tightens the contours of the face. The cuts prevent fabrics and threads from moving to other areas. The special structure allows it to achieve an immediate lifting effect and last for a long time - 3-5 years.
Maintain tone and increase active life
A unique, high-purity Japanese placenta formulation for the treatment of more than 150 diseases, including the reduction of blood pressure, the prevention of diabetes, hypertension, gastric ulcer, migraine and arthritis.
The active ingredients in the placenta stimulate stagnant, sluggish life processes. An exceptional feature of the drug is that it is a high-precision, controlled-acting drug. Unlike many chemical medicinal compounds, the placenta drug, while curing, does not cause any side effects in the body. Such formulations are called intelligent or "smart" because they themselves detect imbalances in the body, dysfunctions, and exert a targeted therapeutic effect.
In Japan, where almost all residents take placenta medication, the average life expectancy is 87 years, and menopause occurs in Japanese women at the age of 65 years. Men feel constant sexual energy with regular use of the drug, and their effectiveness and mental concentration increase. With regular placenta intake, a person will look and feel 10 years younger.
Hardware technologies
Today, hundreds of hardware technologies and their types are used around the world to correct age-related changes. They are no worse than surgeons, they eliminate wrinkles, 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 was released in 2004. Developed and patented by an American company. Fraxel lasers are still the best and safest despite the large number of competitors.
The fragmentary principle consists of the fact that the thin laser beam does not affect a large area, but acts on a micro-section of the skin, the diameter of which is comparable to the diameter of human hair. Upon exposure, old and damaged collagen and elastin are destroyed in the micrometry. In response, the body begins to repair the destroyed area - new, flawless skin appears. Because the microinjury is very small in diameter and has many healthy cells around it, healing is very fast and the procedure is safe.
The upper layer of the skin - the epidermis - is not damaged, so there is no need for a clinical or home rehabilitation procedure after the procedure. With the Fraxel laser you can remove wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, acne, pigment spots.
Because Fraxel is a procedure that stimulates the formation of new, flawless skin, the result of rejuvenation lasts for many years. And the scars and stretch marks disappear forever.
The best ultrasound procedure to date is Altera therapy, which is performed on an American device. It is the world's only microfocus ultrasound skin lift treatment that works at the SMAS (musculo-aponeurotic system) level without damaging the skin surface. Plastic surgeons work at the SMAS level when performing surgical skin tightening.
Deep SMAS lifting with an ultrasound device involves tightening the skin, subcutaneous adipose tissue, mimic muscles, collagen and elastin fibers. Such austerity has a pronounced and long-lasting rejuvenating effect.
With the help of Altera therapy, the skin of the face, neck and décolleté can be lifted and tightened, as well as the correction of wrinkles. The efficacy and high safety of Altera therapy have been scientifically proven. More than 1, 000, 000 procedures have already been performed worldwide.
In terms of aesthetics, age is not an obstacle. It is never too late to start the process. But everything is extremely individual.
Body shaping
A number of techniques have also been developed for body harmony: from traditional massages and body wraps to hardware techniques.
Israel’s unique hardware system allows it to get rid of deep fat deposits that are covered by a dense layer of internal organs — liver, heart, stomach, kidneys — placing a significant strain on these organs and leading to disease.
High-frequency ultrasound waves penetrate freely to a depth of 8-9 cm and dissolve abdominal fat. It is then eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. This process is called visceral lipolysis. However, low frequency ultrasound waves are used in the system. They penetrate to the surface layer to a depth of 3 cm and dissolve fat deposits under the skin. 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, can’t do that. Meanwhile, removing belly fat isn’t just about losing weight. This improvement and enhancement of the work of the internal organs is the key to the health and youth of the whole organization!
Body shaping is so effective that you can reduce your waist by 4-8 cm and your weight by 5-7 kilograms in just 3-4 times!
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 "displaces" excess fluid from the tissues, activates blood circulation, lymph flow, speeds up metabolic processes, eliminates congestion. The device adapts to the patient's body, is safe, leaves no marks on the back. , by acting on the fat deposits on the inner surface of the arms and legs.
The skin becomes smoother and firmer even after a procedure. After completing the course, the cellulite disappears and the body volume immediately decreases by 2 sizes.
Hairstyle
Well-groomed hair is the key to success. But unfortunately, for some, they’re not too thick, while for others, they start to fade and fall out during life. After all, our hair is under constant stress - whether the cold of winter or the heat of summer absorbs toxic substances. Clinics perform complex computer photo and video diagnostics using a camera and software package. This is needed to assess the condition of the hair and scalp, the level of activity of the sebaceous glands, and the genetic predisposition to alopecia (baldness).
In addition, microelement analysis and mycological and bacteriological examination of the scalp are used in the clinics. Before prescribing the cure, the doctor will examine in detail how the body is saturated with iron, 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 new hair growth without surgical transplantation.
From what age is it worth performing aesthetic procedures?
If we talk about teenage acne and its consequences, the procedures can be done as early as 15-16 years of age.
On average, however, prevention should be done after 25 years. After 30 years, you will need fillers that will correct wrinkles. After 40 years - threads and hardware lifting. But best of all, your beautician knows how to stay young and beautiful at all times. Therefore, the first thing to findyour beautician and your clinic!
