“Nobody canceled the laws of gravity” – we ascertain with sadness, observing the aging of the skin and the appearance of the first wrinkles. Indeed, it is impossible to reverse age-related changes, but it is possible and necessary to deal with their external manifestations.
The main enemy of beauty is aging skin. And this is due not only to age, but also to the realities of modern megacities (air, water, lifestyle, stress, etc.). How realistic is it to resist these factors and keep the skin youthful for as long as possible?
The plastic surgeon, Doctor of Medical Sciences Mikhail Barannik spoke about non-surgical methods of combating wrinkles in the program “On the most important thing.”
“You can refresh your face, give it a healthier and more youthful look with the help of modern achievements in cosmetology: various physiotherapy and modern injection techniques,” says the doctor.
Biorevitalization. The simplest and most superficial of modern injection techniques in cosmetology, which began with mesotherapy. The drugs that are injected into the surface layers of the skin in order to give it a better appearance are made on the basis of hyaluronic acid, which is now present in almost all injection techniques. Much depends on the concentration of hyaluronic acid in the preparation and on the binders that affect how long it will remain in the skin. In addition, the additives contained in these preparations make it possible to additionally nourish the surface layers of the skin.
As a result of biorevitalization, the condition of the skin improves, its tone increases, wrinkles and folds are somewhat smoothed. But to achieve a good and stable result, one procedure is not enough, you need to undergo a course of 3-4 procedures with a break of 3-4 weeks. Then the effect will last for about a year.
Many are afraid of the negative consequences of the action of hyaluronic acid on the body. Meanwhile, it does not pose any danger and practically does not cause allergic reactions. True, immediately after the procedure, the appearance suffers somewhat: small papules (drug accumulations) appear at the injection sites. But this phenomenon is short-lived. The drug is absorbed into the surrounding tissues and allows the cells to synthesize more of the substance necessary to maintain good skin tone.
You must first consult with your doctor.
Botulinum therapy (botox). Cosmetology uses botulism toxin in minimal doses to combat extreme muscle activity. First of all, these are the muscles of the forehead (transverse and longitudinal wrinkles), mimic wrinkles in the corners of the eyes (crow’s feet) and a deep crease on the bridge of the nose.
These drugs are good, there is no need to be afraid of them: the methods have been worked out, and the doctors know them well. But to do this procedure, as, in fact, others, it is necessary only in specialized institutions, in conditions of sterility.
A prerequisite for the storage and transportation of this drug is the presence of cold: it is stored and transported only in refrigerators. Pay attention to this.
At what age can you start practicing all this? Here, the decisive factor is not age, but appearance. Some women already at 35 years old need it, and there are those who can wait even at 50.
Bulk plastic. This is a contour correction based on hyaluronic acid. In this case, its concentration and viscosity in the preparation is somewhat higher, it stays in the tissues longer and is injected deeper than in the case of biorevitalization. In contour plastics, the drug is injected into the folds in the skin, straightening them. With more voluminous plastic, the drug is injected into the cheekbones, due to which the skin is lifted, and the nasolabial folds are smoothed. In addition, by remaining deep in the tissues, the drug works for a long time and refreshes the skin for a longer time. “
There are many myths around beauty injections. Meanwhile, they can give a second youth, however, on condition that we turn to real professionals in their field – to specialized institutions with a good reputation.
