Effective and correct facial skin rejuvenation

The currently available anti-age drugs and methods allow us to speak about the successful correction of age-related changes. But for correct, that is, effective and safe rejuvenation, it is necessary to choose the right strategy. It is important to understand that the quality of the skin determines the quality of life, since superficial wrinkles and reduced skin hydration often give away age. In the practice of an esthetician, there are often patients with excellent facial contours who do not have deep wrinkles, folds, but at the same time their age is easily read due to reduced skin turgor and tone, as well as other possible disorders associated with its structural changes and insufficient hydration. epidermis. In this article, estet-portal.com will consider the most advantageous approaches to the correction of mimic wrinkles with Belotero Soft and Belotero Balance preparations.

Features of preparations for the correction of superficial wrinkles

The special properties of Belotero Soft and Balance preparations are explained by the specifics of their production technology. Like many fillers, Belotero is based on hyaluronic acid. But in addition to the classic "stitching" hyaluronic acid in their production was used innovative method KPM (Cohesive Polydensified Matrix — cohesive polydensified matrix). The KPM method provides for a partial rarefaction of the "cross-linked" hyaluronic acid and its repolymerization in complex with native hyaluronic acid.

The CPM method makes it possible to obtain a homogeneous gel with areas of different density, a high degree of stability and the ability to progradient distribution in tissues.

Progradient distribution means the formation of the main volume (zone of high density) along the injection line, and then the distribution of low density zones around it. At the same time, high-density gel areas fill the soft tissue defect along the tunnel created by the needle.

The formation of zones of different density causes the most uniform distribution of the gel in the dermis, without the "tow effect". Zones of low density are formed in all directions, which also contributes to the revitalization provided by partially reticulated hyaluronic acid.

Thanks to a combination of classic "stitching" hyaluronic acid BDDE (1,4 butane dioldiglydyl ether) and the CPM method, the use of Belotero allows you to:

correct volume defects in wrinkles of any class;
Achieve a combination of the effects of contouring and revitalization with partially stabilized hyaluronic acid.

Optimal methods of application of stimulants for facial rejuvenation

The main task of the beautician when introducing fillers is to achieve a natural look in areas that are usually very mobile both at rest and during facial movements. An ideal filler for the correction of mimic wrinkles should behave like skin: move like skin, stretch, and withstand dynamic loads. However, it should not cause edema due to water absorption after implantation. Stimulation of collagen production will be an added benefit. An important quality of a good filler is its cohesiveness of the filler and its integration with tissues. All of the listed properties are inherent in Belotero fillers:

Belotero Balance ‑ is used for the contour correction of those wrinkles of various types that disappear when the skin is stretched with fingers, including wrinkles in areas with thin skin and mild fatty tissue;
Belotero Soft is intended for the correction of superficial wrinkles that do not disappear when spreading with fingers, and for short-chain skin revitalization when contouring is not necessary.

The important point is "softness"; performed with

Belotero products from Merz Aesthetics correction.

Belotero Soft and Balance have low viscosity and high cohesiveness. This allows them to easily spread through the dermis or superficial subcutaneous layers, integrate with tissues, maintain elasticity under muscular effort, and provide smooth contours.

Belotero fillers provide three-dimensional tissue expansion with a pronounced horizontal vector, thanks to which they effectively affect expression lines and skin laxity. Product selection is based on rheological properties combined with patient and target tissue characteristics.

Using the injection technique «Blanching» for facial rejuvenation

The high cohesiveness and low viscosity of the Belotero Soft and Balance fillers made it possible to use them in the surface injection technique "Blanching", which means "whitening". With intradermal filler placement, the skin at the injection site transiently turns white. The needle for intradermal injection is perpendicular to the surface of the skin. Injections are carried out in the form of retrograde serial injections. Histological and ultrasound studies have confirmed the reliability and safety of the method of intradermal filler implantation.

When injecting Belotero fillers, stretching the skin with the fingers of the non-dominant hand in a direction perpendicular to the facial wrinkles facilitates intradermal placement of the drug.

Injection technique «Blanching» if necessary, can be combined. For example, in the perioral region, where there is insufficient support from the superficial subcutaneous tissue, intradermal filler placement is carried out as a layer using a linear and fan technique. Then, using the technique of a series of injections directly into the wrinkles, the structure can be effectively restored.

Intradermal filler implantation allows the introduction of smaller volumes of products than with subcutaneous implantation for the purpose of contouring. Clinical resistance to post-injection edema is less pronounced.

Thus, the introduction of

Belotero fillers allows you to effectively correct mimic wrinkles and reduce skin sagging. Clinical evidence suggests that Belotero Soft and Balance are stable fillers, well tolerated by intradermal implantation. With their use, a natural appearance of the face is ensured, volumes are successfully replenished and the results of correction are stored for a long time.
