It is impossible to get rid of folds and creases in the skin on your own. Facial muscles are difficult to train through physical exercise, and cosmetics are only good as a preventive measure. Crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes, wrinkles on the forehead and around the lips can appear after 25 years. You can get rid of wrinkles guaranteed only in the office of a dermatocosmetologist. Today, the best method of natural and safe rejuvenation is injections with hyaluronic acid fillers.
Correction of facial wrinkles is the main reason for patients’ initial visits to a cosmetologist. Increased tone and activity of the facial muscles primarily affects the forehead and area around the eyes. To restore skin elasticity, it is necessary to restore its water balance. Sodium hyaluronate is found in a certain amount in the skin of every person, so filler injections are absolutely safe. Correction of facial wrinkles with hyaluronic acid has two significant advantages: an immediate effect and the absence of complications.
How is Botox different from filler?
Botulinum therapy
The procedure is an injection of botulinum toxin type A into areas requiring correction.
As a result, the nerve impulse in this area is blocked and the muscles relax, which achieves the effect of smoothing out wrinkles or modeling facial contours. Those. botulinum therapy eliminates those wrinkles that appear as a result of muscle activity. In addition, botulinum therapy is actively used for hyperhidrosis, as well as for medical purposes (recovery from injuries, cerebral palsy, etc.).
Botulinum therapy has no analogues and is still a completely unique technique.
Important! The most common misconception is that Botox is injected into the lips. Actually this is not true! Botulinum therapy can cope with cassette wrinkles that are located around the lips, but neither Botox nor its analogues (Xeomin, Dysport, Phytolax, Relatox) are injected directly into the lips and are not used to correct the shape, size and volume of the lips!
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid fills wrinkles, promotes the production of collagen and elastin, and retains moisture in tissues. Also, injections of preparations based on hyaluronic acid are used to correct the shape and volume of the lips, modeling the cheekbones, facial contours, replenishing lost volume, etc.
Fillers not only visually eliminate signs of skin aging, but also improve the overall condition of the skin, and also activate internal rejuvenation processes.
Hyaluronic acid is the main component in various cosmetic procedures - biorevitalization, mesotherapy, contouring.
On the similarities between Botox and hyaluronic acid
It can only be attributed to the average period of preservation of the effect (6-12 months) and the general direction towards rejuvenating the appearance.
Why do facial wrinkles occur?
A person’s face is an indicator of his emotions and mood. The facial muscles are tightly woven into the dermis. Wrinkles appear across the location of muscle fibers. For example, when you laugh, the muscles around the eyes contract, which causes wrinkles to form in the corners of the eyes.
Causes of facial defects: • Active expression of emotions; • Frequent stressful situations; • Excessive solar radiation; • Metabolic disorders in the body; • Hormonal imbalance; • Sharp decrease in body weight; • Smoking, alcohol.
Indications and contraindications for biorevitalization
Indications for biorevitalization are deterioration of the skin condition due to age-related changes, bad habits, negative environmental influences, stress, lack of sleep, etc. Biorevitalization does not help eliminate deep wrinkles, but it copes well with minor problems. Also, the biorevitalization procedure is usually recommended as a preparation for the introduction of fillers, installation of mesothreads or Aptos threads, or after a vacation at sea as a restorative agent and prevention of skin photoaging.
Contraindications to biorevitalization:
- pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- bleeding disorders or taking anticoagulants (you must stop taking such drugs a week before the procedure and do not take them for a week after it);
- systemic blood diseases, acute infectious or general diseases, exacerbation of chronic diseases, febrile conditions, high temperature;
- skin diseases in the injection area;
- mental illness;
- tendency to form keloid scars;
- other contraindications (determined after consultation with a doctor).
Correction of facial wrinkles around the eyes
Imperfections in the area around the eyes often appear after 25 years. Although the skin is still quite firm and elastic, wrinkles leave an increasingly obvious mark every year. Numerous manufacturers produce creams, gels, masks and serums with a smoothing effect. Unfortunately, all of them are ineffective in the fight against wrinkles and only help to moisturize the skin. Much more effective results can be achieved by correcting facial wrinkles around the eyes with hyaluronic acid-containing preparations.
Biorevitalization results: before and after
After the first procedure, the result of biorevitalization can only be noticeable in the “before” and “after” photos - the difference, as a rule, is not yet visible to the naked eye. However, after 2-3 procedures, the condition of the skin noticeably improves - wrinkles and folds become less pronounced, the color and texture of the face becomes better, and the oval is tightened.
Immediately after the procedure, papules may persist for 1-3 days (less often – up to 5 days, depending on the individual sensitivity of the skin). In the most delicate places - for example, in the area under the eyes, sometimes on the chin or cheekbones - small bruises and bruises remain after injections. During the first day, it is not recommended to use any absorbable ointments, but from the second day you can use them. Also, during the first two days, slight swelling may persist on the face - a skin reaction to the injections.
Correction of facial wrinkles with hyaluronate
Gels containing sodium hyaluronate help effectively smooth out wrinkles and creases in the skin around the eyes, forehead and mouth. Fillers are safe for human health, but have a temporary effect and are completely eliminated from the body after a few months. In the Epilike network of clinics, dermatocosmetologists use both botulinum toxins and hyaluronic preparations to eliminate wrinkles: Radiesse, Surgiderm, Juvederm and Belotero. Thanks to the variety of drugs, the specialist selects suitable fillers for each patient based on the severity and localization of wrinkles. Don’t hide your emotions, and hyaluronic injections will cope with facial wrinkles!
Biorevitalization procedure
Before the biorevitalization procedure at the clinic on Komarova, you will be seen by a cosmetologist who will assess the condition of your skin, select the optimal hyaluronic acid preparation for you, and also draw up an injection regimen and determine the duration of the course. As a rule, the course consists of 3-7 procedures, which are carried out once every 3-4 weeks. It is recommended to repeat the biorevitalization course every 8-12 months to consolidate the results and prolong the youth and beauty of the skin.
During the consultation, the cosmetologist talks in detail about the procedure, warns about possible contraindications, and also explains how to properly care for the skin after biorevitalization.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and takes no more than 30 minutes. First, an anesthetic ointment is applied to the skin. After about 15 minutes, the face becomes numb - and you can start injections.
The biorevitalization procedure is carried out under sterile conditions, the patient’s face is treated with an aseptic solution, the hair is tucked under a cap, and the doctor wears gloves. He opens the ampoule with hyaluronic acid in the presence of the patient, letting him read the name and expiration date of the drug. Then, using a syringe with a very thin needle, he makes several dozen subcutaneous injections - the patient practically does not feel them due to the anesthetic. After this, the face is treated with an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory cream, and the patient can go home.
It is not advisable to start work after the procedure - marks from injections (papules) are clearly visible on the face in the first few hours. The next day or the day after, the papules are no longer noticeable.
The most common hyaluronic acid preparations are products from the brands Restylane, Juvederm, Ial-System, etc. These are modern, high-quality, safe preparations that differ from each other in the concentration of hyaluronic acid and, accordingly, are intended for different skin types. Some of them contain anesthetics and antioxidants, vitamins, nucleic acids, and peptides.
How to care for your skin after hyaluronic acid injections
On the day of the procedure, do not touch your face with your hands, do not use cosmetics, and wash your face with mild products without soap. To remove swelling and reduce possible discomfort, you can apply ice. The skin can be treated with a chlorhexidine solution and anti-inflammatory cream.
You should not drink alcohol for 3 days before or after the procedure.
From the second day, you can use your usual skincare products - face creams, cleansers (without soap), milk, and also use absorbable ointments.
After the biorevitalization procedure, sports, visiting saunas and baths, hot baths, as well as facial massage, cleansing, peeling, facial steam saunas and visiting the solarium are prohibited for 2 weeks.
HOW DO 3D HYALURONIC FILLERS WORK?
The key active ingredient of Libriderm 3D hyaluronic fillers is high-quality hyaluronic acid of different molecular weights, produced in Switzerland.
- High molecular weight (100+ kDa) remains on the surface of the stratum corneum of the skin and increases its hydration.
- Medium molecular weight (30-100 kDa) accelerates skin regeneration by stimulating the division of epidermal cells.
- Low molecular weight (<30 kDa) penetrates from the surface of the skin into the deep layers of the dermis and helps fill wrinkles.
The composition of 3D hyaluronic fillers is supplemented with extract of crushed leaves of Stevia honey, which has local anticholinergic activity - relaxes facial muscles*, preventing the formation of new wrinkles.
What are the contraindications for treating wrinkles?
Absolute contraindications to the wrinkle filling procedure include inflammation at the site of application of the drug or a general infection of the body. We will not perform the procedure while the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding.
Most medications contain lidocaine, to which some patients are allergic. Therefore, in case of allergic reactions to the drug, the procedure is not performed.
It is believed that wrinkle treatment is not available for people with Hashimoto's disease. This is not an absolute contraindication. Such a patient receives a referral for an antibody level test. After assessing the results, injections can be given, but the patient should be aware that there is a higher risk of certain side effects after the procedure or in the future. This is a special situation and requires a special approach.
How long does the wrinkle filling procedure take?
Exactly how long the procedure will take depends entirely on what we are going to do and in what area. The filling of wrinkles itself is relatively quick, since it comes down to the injection of the drug. What takes the most time is a thorough analysis of the patient's face and the appropriate planning of the procedure, which can be more or less labor-intensive. Much depends, of course, on the doctor’s experience.
Typically, together with a consultation, interview, drawing up a plan of action and explaining to the patient what he can expect, the procedure takes from 30 minutes to an hour.
