What cosmetic techniques do you prefer to apply in your daily practice?

In my daily practice, I mainly use injection and thread techniques. I try to combine them, combine them, and come up with something new, individual for each patient.

Can non-surgical procedures be used to rejuvenate patients over 60?

My report today is dedicated to correction, rejuvenation, and work with patients over 60 years old.

Patients over 60 – this is a very difficult category of patients, because they have excessive requirements.

As a rule, this is a very difficult category of patients, because they have excessive requirements, and it is a bit problematic for specialists to find the right treatment algorithm in this case.

What methods do you usually use with patients over 60 years of age?

I love the golden combination - the combination of threads, fillers and botulinum toxins. This is what I like the most and what I think is the most efficient and effective. Of course, at first it is a little difficult for patients to come to the conclusion that it is necessary to use botulinum toxins, fillers, and threads right away, but when we go through all these stages and they see the result, as a rule, they are satisfied. And the patients are especially pleased that the correction was performed without incisions, without anesthesia, and, most importantly, gradually and naturally.

What is the main advantage of an integrated approach to the correction of patients over 60 years of age?

The main advantage of an integrated approach to the correction of patients over 60 years of age is that we still treat our patients sparingly, we try not to solve the problem in a radical way, but approach it more individually and carefully.

The main advantage of a comprehensive approach to the correction of patients over 60 years of age is that we are gentle in solving the problem.

We can constantly monitor the development of the effect in our patients, that is, we control them all the time, always with them, and we can vary: add a little more somewhere, replace somewhere, skip a step somewhere , or maybe limit yourself to the bare minimum.
