vary by age What are the features of beautification depending on the age of the patient
Byutification of different generations largely depends on the perception of beauty. For example, my grandmother's ideas about beauty are more conservative than those of my mother, whose youth fell on the 70s, and my sister – typical millennial.
Comparing their concepts of beauty, it is easy to understand that beauty – purely individual concept. That is why
Restylane fillers were created to correct in the most personalized way, not a standardized approach.
Beyond this, there is also the anatomy of beauty: the various proportions and angles that we are so eager to measure and recreate, and how they change over time.
By combining these features, we get
true individual beauty. Is it correct to talk about the beautification of patients 40+, or only anti-aging procedures are performed at this age
The first signs of aging become noticeable around the age of 30, but they become a cause for concern towards the age of 40. The fact is also that during this period, many patients whose children have grown up have more free time and wish to devote it to self-care.

As it is now known, it is after 40 years that the processes of aging of bone tissue accelerate. Therefore, when working with patients of this age category, it is advisable to talk about rejuvenation, restoration – after all, we turn back time a bit, replenishing the lost volumes and pulling up
structures that have been shifted down. When working with patients 40+, the first thing to do is to restore the volume or quality of the skin
I always recommend restoring the volume first and then moving on to work on the quality of the skin. As a rule, procedures aimed at improving the quality of the skin (chemical peels, lasers, skin boosters, etc.) take time to show the maximum result.

I find this
approach to be very effective. Which product do you prefer or use most often in your practice
Since 1998 we have been successfully working with all Galderma – toxins, fillers, skin boosters (official distributor – company
On top of that, I'm convinced that we still haven't unlocked the full potential of facial fillers. By improving our understanding of the changes that come with the face, we increase our ability to
use existing products more effectively. Do patients' expectations vary with age
Vary, and very much. Patients 50+ are more self-confident, successful, grateful to their families and friends. What they don't like are facial features that accentuate the negative – wrinkles of anger, wrinkles around the mouth, loss of volume and thinning of the lips. It is these imperfections that make them come to my clinic. However, very few of them expect to look young forever.
I turn down a patient when I feel that their expectations are unrealistic or the procedure will not be beneficial.
Young patients others – they have a lot of events going on in their lives, they are looking for themselves in this world, they ask themselves the questions “Who am I?”, “How do I look?” etc. Here the influence of the environment is traced. Nowadays, it is, of course, social networks and the concept of beauty that they broadcast.
