Reinforcement of the face with threads and hyaluronic acid: what is the difference

Bioreinforcement is a way to model the oval of the face.

Using special needles - cannulas (4-6 cm long and with a blunt end), during the bioreinforcement process, the drug is injected intradermally in the form of a network (threads) throughout the entire treated area (usually the cheeks, neck), creating a “framework”. The procedure for bioreinforcement of the face and neck is performed only with fillers based on hyaluronic acid; the optimal composition of the filler will be selected by a cosmetologist.

Hyaluronic acid attracts water, as a result of which the bioreinforcement zone becomes more voluminous, skin turgor and hydration increase, skin renewal processes, collagen and elastin production are launched. The lifting effect of the bioreinforcement procedure for the face and neck lasts for more than a year.

Bioreinforcement: what is it?

The latest cosmetological rejuvenation technology, the essence of which is to create a subcutaneous framework using hyaluronic acid-containing biogels. The punctures are performed taking into account the anatomy of the face; the pattern creates a supporting mesh under the skin that forms an oval and tightens the contours. Despite the fact that hyaluronic acid dissolves over time, its formula at the molecular level continues to retain moisture. As a result, the production of your own elastin and collagen is stimulated by stimulating fibroblasts.

In each case, the cosmetologist assesses the patient’s skin condition, its characteristics, type of aging, age, prescribes an individual injection regimen and determines their frequency. Bioreinforcement is a virtually painless procedure that does not require any special preparation and has a small list of contraindications. The technique involves performing vector lifting using liquid threads, fillers, using a non-injection method.

Procedure technique

Like any other cosmetic or plastic procedure, facial reinforcement is carried out according to a strictly defined scheme. It is performed step by step and consists of the following steps:

1. Anesthesia. Local anesthesia is given. Most often, a cream is used as an anesthetic, which is applied half an hour before the intervention.
2. Vector markup. Using a special marker, the doctor outlines diamond shapes, moving from the central part of the face to its peripheral zones.
3. Disinfection. The part of the skin that will be tightened is treated with an antiseptic solution.
4. Reinforcement. Subcutaneous injections are performed with gel filler. It is introduced strictly along pre-designated lines - along each side of the diamond. An alternative option involves the use of threads from various modern materials to create a natural frame.

Reinforcement of the face with Radiesse volumizer, hyaluronic acid and other biogels is carried out using a flexible cannula. This is a long needle with a blunt end and a round hole for administering the drug.

The result becomes obvious almost instantly. But to achieve the highest efficiency, it is recommended to repeat the procedure 3 or 4 times. The break between sessions should be 3 to 4 weeks.

If you do everything correctly and do not limit yourself to just one time, you will get a very strong frame. It is able to delay the signs of age-related changes for a long time.

pros

Bioreinforcement is called the golden mean between plastic surgery and techniques that are usually offered by cosmetology clinics. Indeed, vector lifting has absorbed the best of two extremes - safety, quick results, high efficiency and naturalness.

Advantages:

1. long cumulative effect (up to 2 years);
2. injection of drugs under the skin is almost painless;
3. the result is noticeable after the first session;
4. stimulation of own regeneration processes;
5. the ability to combine lifting with other procedures from a cosmetologist.

After bioreinforcement, there is no need for recovery time; provided that the doctor’s recommendations are followed, negative consequences in the form of hematomas, redness and local swelling are unlikely.

Side effects

Complications arise due to the incompetent actions of the cosmetologist, non-compliance with the installation protocol, violation of the rules of asepsis and antisepsis, and can lead to serious problems. Incorrect injection of fillers is fraught with the following consequences:

• insufficient or excessive effect, asymmetric correction - the result of incorrect dosage and distribution of the filler;
• purulent-inflammatory processes - failure to comply with sanitary standards during the procedure, recommendations after manipulation;
• puffiness of the face - occurs if the material has sagged;
• circulatory disorder, embolism, tissue necrosis - the drug is injected into the vessel.

Implantation of threads can be accompanied by a number of problems:

• Violation of the integrity of the excretory duct or capsule of the parotid salivary gland. Threatens the formation of fistulas.
• Contouring (candling), protrusion, retraction along the fiber. Problems arise due to superficial introduction of the material.
• Inflammation, abscess, phlegmon. They are observed due to improper cutting of ends, damage to the salivary gland duct, non-compliance with hygiene standards, and unsatisfactory postoperative care.
• Limitation of facial movements. Incorrect placement of the material, the tip got under the skin.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

In some cases, even compliance with all rules and regulations also leads to the development of unexplained complications. And then the bioreinforcement technique will have to be abandoned forever.

Indications

Vector lifting is indicated for girls aged 30 to 50 years. Before age 30, the procedure is not prescribed due to the fact that the body itself produces a sufficient amount of elastin and collagen, and after 50 years, biolifting may no longer provide a guaranteed result.

What are the indications for the procedure:

1. sagging skin;
2. changed facial contour;
3. wrinkles;
4. withering;
5. pronounced folds in the smile area;
6. decreased skin elasticity;
7. drooping corners of the eyelids and mouth.

The procedure is recommended for solving many aesthetic problems, helping to get rid of age-related skin changes and disruption of natural ovals.

results

Reinforcement is carried out without the use of general anesthesia. It is for this reason that the patient does not need to stay in the hospital after the procedure.

Literally on days 4-7, microhematomas, swelling and other signs of a facelift disappear. After a month, 100% results are observed.

Photos before and after non-surgical rejuvenation confirm that the effect is visible immediately. This is very important for women.

However, it is worth considering that injection lifting is not a one-time procedure. To achieve the best results, several sessions will be needed.

Application areas

Bioreinforcement is carried out for the most sensitive and delicate areas - the neck and face. The main areas that can be improved with vector lifting are:

1. facial contour (elimination of natural gravitational ptosis);
2. chin;
3. forehead;
4. thighs (inner part);
5. shoulders (lower part);
6. stomach;
7. neckline;
8. neck.

Thus, bioreinforcement is applicable in almost all areas that need correction. The procedure helps to permanently get rid of sagging, laxity and other defects that often reveal a woman’s age.

Progress of manipulation

The doctor determines the possibility of performing bioreinforcement surgery during a preliminary consultation. A conversation with a cosmetologist allows you to identify contraindications. The doctor selects a suitable remedy, calculates the required amount of the substance, and considers a plan of action during the manipulation.

The operation begins with the preparation of the integument: the skin is cleansed of cosmetics and impurities. The affected areas are treated with an antiseptic.

Anesthesia is performed at the request of the patient. Many fillers already contain lidocaine. A cosmetologist can use local anesthetics by application or injection.

The doctor performing the bioreinforcement procedure must have certain knowledge and experience. Incorrect actions by a cosmetologist can lead to various side effects.

The manipulation is carried out according to a pre-developed scheme. To choose the course of action, the doctor takes into account the individual characteristics of the patient. The directions of drug invasion are selected. The doctor marks the contour lines and puncture sites. Vector lifting is carried out along the tension of the integument.

Strictly according to a given scheme, the cosmetologist injects the gel under the skin with injections, evenly distributing the substance along the lines using limited pinpoint injection. As a result, something like a thin thread is formed in the tissues. To evenly distribute some substances, careful massaging of the puncture sites is required.

Bioreinforcement manipulation takes 30–90 minutes. The duration depends on the experience of the performer, the scale, and complexity of the impact. The administration of some substances requires areas to be treated repeatedly. At the end of the procedure, the doctor discusses further actions. Manipulation rarely results in a negative change in appearance. The patient can immediately return to normal activities.

Bioreinforcement with liquid threads

Liquid threads are an alternative method to traditional bioreinforcement with mesothreads. In fact, they are not threads, but represent a special chemical formula with hyaluronic acid and zinc. The active components of the composition act on the deep layers of the dermis at the cellular level, form a framework, restore skin elasticity and increase its density.

Unlike classic threads, there is no mechanical tension, so the subcutaneous fibers are not injured. Biogel acts delicately, moisturizes the skin, improves quality, evens out the contour and color. The puncture sites are practically invisible, the procedure does not require pain relief, and the healing process is fast.

Rehabilitation

After you have undergone facial reinforcement, you must follow the rules of rehabilitation. Otherwise, you can ruin the result. The doctor should tell you what is allowed and what is not.

Here are some general recommendations:

1. Avoid heating areas affected by bioreinforcement. Reduce exposure to direct sunlight to a minimum. Don't forget to use protective cream (SPF 15+). Chemical peeling and laser procedures will have to be excluded.
2. It is not advisable to massage reinforced areas. Stretching of the facial muscles may distort the position of the injected drug. During the first day after the procedure, it is better not to make sudden movements with the treated area of ​​the face. But applying ice to it, on the contrary, is allowed.
3. Any physical exercise, as well as visits to the solarium and bathhouse (sauna), should be postponed for at least a day.

If facial reinforcement was done with hyaluronic acid, and you didn’t like the result, everything can be easily corrected. This substance is completely dissolved by the enzyme hyaluronidase.

Recommendations before and after

2 weeks before the procedure you should stop taking anticoagulants and anti-inflammatory therapy. During the first visit, the doctor will announce a list of contraindications:

1. pregnancy;
2. lactation;
3. acute infectious processes;
4. diseases of the hematopoietic system.

After the procedure, for the first three weeks you need to refrain from baths, solariums, do not massage your face, sleep only on your back and do not perform physical activity.

Rehabilitation period

After reinforcement, traces of injections may remain on the face for up to 48 hours. Swelling, small hematomas, and redness often occur. It is not recommended to mask traces of manipulation with cosmetics.

The reinforcement procedure does not require significant rehabilitation. You can immediately return to your usual activities. You will have to exclude for 7-14 days:

• visiting a bathhouse, sauna, swimming pool;
• playing sports, heavy physical labor;
• enhanced effects on the skin (peeling, massage, cosmetic procedures).

Be sure to keep the covers clean. The skin is washed with delicate products, excluding strong friction. A cosmetologist may recommend the use of antiseptics and regenerating agents.

After the puncture sites have healed, it is permissible to return to using cosmetics. After the recovery period is completed, the remaining restrictions are gradually lifted.

The result of reinforcement is noticeable immediately, develops, and intensifies over 2–3 months. The effect usually lasts 6–12 months.

When using long-acting drugs, the result can last up to 2-4 years. Some substances are administered in courses of 2–4 sessions, 14–30 days apart.

Important! It is recommended to carry out repeated manipulation after eliminating the previous effect, no earlier than a month after the previous effect.

Contraindications

The method has its own limitations for use. Therefore, it cannot be used if you have problems such as:

• chronic diseases of an infectious or inflammatory nature in the acute stage;
• autoimmune diseases;
• malignant lesions, regardless of their location;
• diseases ;
• pronounced ptosis.

In addition, reinforcement is prohibited during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Patient reviews

Bioreinforcement is often assessed positively. The results of the procedure are noticeable, but do not last as long as we would like. In some cases, patients' expectations from reinforcement are too high, and the level of effect does not meet the requirements.

The patient does not see the result of the procedure.

A patient with experience in performing various procedures is satisfied with bioreinforcement, but is saddened by the short duration of the effect.

The patient speaks enthusiastically about bioreinforcement.

Cosmetical tools

It is not possible to achieve pronounced skin lifting with the help of cosmetics. Surface application products will provide nutrition, hydration, and slight tightening of the skin. It is recommended to use cosmetic substances to prevent age-related changes and maintain skin condition. Surface applied preparations will satisfy the needs of the integument and will help to slightly delay the manifestations of age. Cosmetics cannot prevent the formation of wrinkles and gravitational ptosis. For comprehensive skin care and achieving a lifting effect, Libriderm Mesolux is popular.
