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, wire lifts, 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 defects in appearance, such as prematurely withered skin, insufficient volume of the lips and cheeks, with the help of "beauty injections". For this the fat of the patients 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 the 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 hydrates the skin unsurpassed. 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 cocktail of them) into the superficial layers of the skin to a depth of between 1, 5 and 6 mm. For injections, short, thin needles are used 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 medicines.
With the help of hyaluronic acid preparations, 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 drug.
Calcium hydroxyapatite initiates the formation of one's own connective tissue - initiates the process of forming new collagen fibers. The latter takes on the function of natural filling and load-bearing structure. In other words, thanks to the filler, it is possible not only to fill folds and wrinkles, but also to tighten the oval of the face, and to give the skin an unsurpassed velvety and silkiness.
A calcium hydroxyapatite-based filler is also suitable for non-surgical correction of the shape of the nose (smoothing the hump, shaping the tip). Used to harmonize the chin, rejuvenate the earlobes. Effective for cardinal rejuvenation of the posterior surface of the hands.
Modern hyaluronic preparations solve several problems at once: moisturize, remove wrinkles, correct appearance. For example, a dermal filler consists of cross-linked hyaluronic acid molecules, which increases its ability to retain more moisture and initiate 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), of the neck, removing gravitational ptosis, or the omission of facial tissues and smooth neck wrinkles. .
Mesotherapy
Complex introduction of active substances under the skin: effectively fights hair loss, skin dryness and dehydration, swelling, cellulite, pigmentation. The technique has no age and seasonality limits, the discomfort is reduced to a minimum, the effect persists for a long time.
Active substances, reaching the problem area, stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, normalize slow metabolism, improve blood circulation. The selection of drugs is carried out individually for each patient, 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 course of procedures, the skin tightens, acquires a healthy appearance and natural radiance.
The popular botulinum toxin therapy is performed with drugs based on class A botulinum toxin. This low-potency toxin blocks neuromuscular impulses, preventing movement of the muscles in the upper face. Professional wrinkle correction with botulinum toxin smoothes the skin while maintaining natural facial expressions. Dosage is selected individually, taking into account the patient's initial data. The agent is injected with a fine needle into places with mobile wrinkles: the forehead, the browbone. The duration of the effect obtained can be up to a year, then the correction is repeated.
Injection techniques are effective for rejuvenating any part of the body: face, décolleté and neck, arms, hips, general body shaping. The result is evident 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 institution's own resources
Plasmolifting
A procedure based on introducing a person's plasma under the skin. Plasma is the liquid part of the blood that plays a role in the tissue regeneration (repair) process. The procedure takes place in 2 stages. In the first stage, the blood is drawn and purified in a special centrifuge separator. The device separates the blood into plasma and erythrocyte mass. Platelets are concentrated in the plasma during repeated purification. In the second stage, the patient is injected with purified plasma into problem areas to stimulate regenerative function.
Thanks to the 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. New hyaluronic acid molecules begin to form in the dermis and a powerful process of producing young collagen and elastin is also initiated. This helps smooth out and reduce wrinkles. In addition, the new collagen gives the face a radiant and healthy tone.
Swiss plasma lifting
Most advanced plasma lifting technology. Its name speaks of the principle of operation of this technique. Regen stands for regeneration and ACR stands for Autologous Cellular Rejuvenation (ACR).
Two active ingredients are obtained from the patient's blood. Autogel fills wrinkles and starts regenerating tissues from the inside. At the same time, the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid is activated and a toning skin frame is formed. Autoplasm eliminates all traces of fatigue, saturates with oxygen, perfectly hydrates the skin, gives a healthy pink tint.
As a result, the skin becomes supple, dense, toned, radiant as it was in youth. Wrinkles, creases, acne marks, age spots and other cosmetic defects disappear.
SPRS therapy
This is a rejuvenation method with your own fibroblasts, the main skin cells responsible for producing young collagen and elastin.
Today, a rather limited number of medical institutions work with cells. Because these are very complex and subtle techniques that do not forgive mistakes, requiring the highest level of training from 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 consists of several steps:
- SPRS-diagnosis of the skin and creation of a "patient's skin passport";
- SPRS programs for the correction of changes and the prevention of skin aging;
- create a SPRS preparation - a product containing the patient's fibroblasts;
- conduct a therapeutic course;
- storage of skin fibroblasts in a cryobank.
In the preliminary stage, the skin is examined at the microtexture level using modern laboratory methods. The readiness of fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin is evaluated. Based on the results of the diagnostics, 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 between the ages of 45 and 50, at least 10-15 years "go out"!
A very important feature of cell therapy is that the drug once obtained will serverejuvenation for life!Part of the grown fibroblasts is placed in a cryobank, where they can be stored in liquid nitrogen for an unlimited time. Cells stored in this way are used for the production of a cell preparation throughout the patient's life.
Wire technologies
Strengthening
The main task of the reinforcing threads (3D mesothread) is the internal rejuvenation of the skin structures. The reinforcing threads are small and smooth, they are made of medical suture material PDO (polydioxanone) biocompatible with the human body. Polydioxanone makes fibroblasts pass from a passive to an active state and synthesizes type 1 collagen (we produce a similar one at the age of 15-16). With a certain method of installing mesothreads, polydioxanone improves blood microcirculation, which gives it 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 the facelift, 3D mesothreads can be used in any area where quick and safe tightening is required. This can be the skin of the abdomen, sagging after pregnancy or a strict diet, décolleté, thighs, buttocks, inner surfaces of the shoulders or thighs.
lift
Lifting threads 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-absorbing materials, are safe and give a lasting tightening effect. Hence, the Italian threads are made with the surgical material of caprolactone, which is completely absorbed by the body and naturally excreted from it. During production, a double transverse polymerization of caprolactone is carried out using a 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 plastic is achieved thanks to a special design. Designed in the shape of a herringbone with very small, almost invisible notches ("teeth"), these threads, once inserted under the skin, are fixed with the help of "teeth" to the soft tissues. Thus, they form a support frame that tightens the contours of the face. The notches prevent the displacement of fabrics and threads to other areas. The special structure allows to obtain an instant lifting effect and to keep it for a long time - from 3 to 5 years.
Maintain tone and increase active lifespan
A 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 ingredients of the placenta stimulate stagnant and sluggish life 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 does not cause any lateral damage to the body during healing. Such preparations are called intelligent or "intelligent", since they themselves detect points of imbalance in the body, functional disorders and have a targeted therapeutic effect.
In Japan, where nearly all residents take placental drugs, the average life expectancy is 87 years and menopause in Japanese women occurs at 65. Men, with regular drug use, feel a constant surge of sexual energy, their mental efficiency and focus increase. With regular placenta intake, 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, removing wrinkles and tightening tissues that have sag over the years.
Some of the most effective are lasers and ultrasounds. 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 thin laser beam does not act on a large area, 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 micro section. In response, the body begins to restore the destroyed area - new skin appears, free from defects. Since the diameter of the microdam is very small and there are many healthy cells around, the recovery is very fast and the procedure is safe.
The top layer of the skin - the epidermis - is not damaged, 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 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 device. This is the only microfocused ultrasound skin-lifting treatment in the world that works at the level of the SMAS (musculo-aponeurotic system) without damaging the skin surface. It is at the SMAS level that plastic surgeons work when performing surgical skin tightening.
Deep SMAS lifting with an ultrasound device includes strengthening the skin, subcutaneous fat, mimic muscles, collagen and elastin fibers. Such tightening gives a pronounced and long-term rejuvenating effect.
With the help of Altera therapy, it is possible to achieve lifting and firming 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. Over 1, 000, 000 procedures have already been performed worldwide.
Age for aesthetics is not an obstacle. It is never too late to start the process. But everything is extremely individual.
Body shaping
Many techniques have also been developed for body harmony: from traditional massages and 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 diseases.
High-frequency ultrasound waves freely penetrate to a depth of 8-9cm and dissolve abdominal fat. Subsequently, 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 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. In the meantime, getting rid of belly fat isn't just about losing weight. This improvement and improvement in the work of internal organs is the key to the health and youth of the whole organism!
The body shaping is so effective that in just 3-4 sessions you can reduce the waistline by 4-8cm and the 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 "expels" 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 leaves no marks. Gives excellent results by acting on the fatty accumulations of the back, hips, buttocks, the inner surface of the arms and legs. It is in these places that the "orange peel" is most often formed.
The skin becomes smoother, firmer even after a procedure. And after exposure to the course, cellulite will disappear and the volumes of the body will immediately decrease by 2 sizes.
Trichology
Well-groomed hair is the key to success. But, unfortunately, for some they are not naturally too thick, while for others they start to fade and fall off in the process of life. After all, our hair is subjected to constant stress: winter cold or summer heat absorb toxic emissions. The clinics perform complex photo and video diagnostics on the computer 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 analyzes, 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 state of the thyroid gland and the level of sex hormones in the patient. In some cases, 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 a surgical transplant.
At what age should aesthetic procedures be performed?
If we are talking about teenage acne and its consequences, then the procedures can be carried out 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 - wire lifting and hardware. Most importantly, your beautician knows how to always stay young and beautiful. Therefore, the first thing to do is to findyour cosmetologist and your clinic!
