Presence of body fat – this is one of the most urgent problems of modern aesthetic medicine. With the help of effective methods, patients want to get rid of excess fat not only on the body, but also in the face area. The issue of age-related changes in facial fat packages, which also need to be eliminated, is also relevant. Thanks to effective injection techniques, this is possible today!
Especially for estet-portal.com dermatologist, cosmetologist, director of the Asclepius clinics and «Estimed» Inga Voloshina-Andrashko spoke about the peculiarities of using injectables to correct age-related changes in facial fat.
Tell us about the specifics of age-related changes in facial fat
If until 2000 the world was dominated by the gravitational theory, which spoke about the gravitational shift of soft tissues, and did not speak at all about volumetric changes in facial fat packages, then since 2000, scientists have paid attention to the fact that there are some standard changes, occurring with age in many people. So-called volumetric patterns appear, with the formation of hollows and hills on the face.
A serious MRI study in 2012 showed, with methylene blue staining, the specificity of deep and superficial fat pads.
It turned out that, against the background of atrophy of deep fat packs, superficial fat packs, on the contrary, hypertrophied, shifted downward, forming uneven relief. This explained the specific volumetric changes in the face that occur with age in people.
How effective are injectables for correcting age-related changes in facial fat
Injectable preparations are unambiguously effective for correcting age-related changes in facial fat pads. But not all of them can be used just for this area. The use of direct lipolytics for the correction of facial fat is contraindicated.
Those specialists who use them in this area are at great risk. In a study on fibroblast culture, it was proved that phosphatidylcholine does not cause fibroblast apoptosis, but sodium deoxycholate, as a direct lipolytic, causes the walls of all structures to dissolve in its path. That is, it does not have a selective effect, for example, on a fibroblast or an adipocyte - it dissolves everything along the way. Therefore, if we are talking today about the safety of the procedure, and do not want any side effects, necrosis, and other more serious issues, then, of course, the introduction of direct lipopolitics should be strictly limited.
What are the fundamental differences between lipopolitics and lipomodifiers
Lipolysis – is the dissolution of the adipocyte wall. It dissolves, and fat, triglycerides enter the bloodstream and are utilized, but this process is traumatic. If the drug phosphatidylcholine is used, then we know that, except for adipocyte lipolysis, fibroblast or other cell lipolysis will not occur, but sodium deoxycholate will dissolve everything. That is why the lipomodifier is a very atraumatic, tissue-specific and physiological method of influencing the superficial fat packages of the face.
The complex biological lipomodifier MESOSCULPT™ C71 (Mesoscalpt), which allows, without surgical intervention, to act on the superficial fat pads of the face.
What changes can happen in the near future in the field of injection face correction
Over the next 5 years, a boom in the development of injection technologies for the face and body is expected.
We will probably step aside a little from the constant obsession with fillers and botulinum toxin, because all this is already there.
Today, on the market for facial preparations, we have smart, innovative preparations from ABG LAB, and in relation to the correction of facial fat pads - This is an effective drug MesoScalpt. It is for such drugs that the future!
