The emergence of new anti-age methods, preparations and techniques greatly facilitates the work of cosmetologists, allowing them to find an individual approach and ensure optimal results of facial correction for each patient. However, the success of rejuvenating procedures largely depends on the practitioner himself.
In particular, knowledge of the anatomical features of the face zones, the ability to determine the degree of age-related changes and evaluate the appropriateness of certain manipulations play a huge role – Dr. Alessandro Di Petrillo (Italy) is convinced of this, who in an interview for estet-portal.com spoke about the main conditions for a successful face correction.
What are the benefits of a good knowledge of facial anatomy for a beautician?
Excellent knowledge of the anatomical structures of the face certainly provides benefits for both the practitioner and the patient. Firstly, it allows you to achieve better results, and secondly, to avoid problems associated with injection face correction. In addition, the ability of a specialist to foresee the results of the procedure and have a clear idea of the structure of facial structures plays a significant role.
This allows the practitioner to better determine what can and cannot be done to achieve the most natural results and select the most appropriate treatments for the patient. Thus, excellent knowledge of the anatomical areas of the face allows you to avoid problems and complications, obtain optimal results and choose the right procedures for each patient.

Which anatomical zones do you consider the most difficult in the work of a cosmetologist?
The most difficult area for a cosmetologist, in my opinion, is the painting area, since it is this anatomical area that is subject to aging in the largest number of patients. Therefore, this area significantly betrays the age of the patient, the correction of volumes in this case is extremely important, and its results are very noticeable. At the same time, work in the painting area is associated with the risk of hypercorrection. Despite the fact that the introduction of a large amount of material in this area of the face can eliminate many wrinkles, in the case of hypercorrection, the effect will be too noticeable to others. However, I believe that the optimal result is one that is visible only to the patient.
After injecting too much filler into the macular area, the patient may be satisfied with the results due to the disappearance of wrinkles. But at the same time, he is not able to objectively assess the appearance of his face from the outside. Thus, looking at himself in the mirror, the patient enjoys the absence of wrinkles, without realizing that his face becomes unnaturally large. This kind of "aesthetic catastrophe" sometimes you can see, for example, on TV, in social networks, etc.
That is why the ability of a practitioner to objectively assess the condition of the patient's face, give him the right advice and choose the appropriate method of correction, the results of which will be noticeable to the patient, but invisible to others.

Are there any new data on the features of work in different anatomical zones of the face that you would like to share with practitioners?
There are two main directions for the development of new aesthetic procedures. On the one hand, this is the use of standard materials, which will become more biocompatible over time. Every year, the aesthetic medicine industry is growing all over the world.
As a result, deep material research is carried out in order to create easy-to-use products that allow for natural results. Therefore, the first direction of research – continuous research and use of new materials to provide the best treatments, the most natural results and possibly the best prices for patients.
Just 10–15 years ago, non-absorbable materials were used for facial correction throughout the world; over time, they were replaced by absorbable materials of animal origin, which required allergy testing; then we started using synthetic materials that do not contain animal proteins and therefore have a higher safety profile. These are examples of big breakthroughs in research. But in fact, new, safer and cheaper materials appear almost every year, if not more often.
I believe that in the future, research will be carried out in two main directions – creating materials with greater biocompatibility and studying the body's own repair mechanisms.
On the other hand, research is aimed at studying the ability of the human body to heal itself. We are talking about stem cells, platelet-rich plasma – new technologies, using which we can start the processes of natural rejuvenation of the body.
