Skin correction after childbirth: how to achieve the desired result

Z.A.: In order to get the desired result, first of all, you need to be patient and adequately explain to the patient that more than one procedure is required for a good and visible correction.

It is important to warn the patient that it is not always possible to achieve an ideal result using even the newest and most effective techniques.

After that, it is necessary to analyze the condition of the skin and the depth of local defects (such as striae or scars), and select possible correction options.

If we talk about sagging skin – in this case, microneedling shows good results. Multiple punctures cause blood flow, forcing the skin to renew itself, and the active substances stimulate neocollagenesis.
In addition, the procedure is convenient to carry out, given the large area of ​​the skin of the abdomen or buttocks.
When it comes to hypertrophic scars – here the method of choice remains hormone injections at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks.

With hypotrophic defects, including striae, it is necessary to combine different techniques. For example, you can start with subcision and injection of active substances, then apply several microneedling procedures and 2 * 3 laser resurfacing procedures with a CO2 laser.

Skin correction after childbirth: the possibilities of Institute Hyalual products

Z.A.: Hyalual Products – the only one on the market that contains hyaluronic and succinic acids.

It is succinic acid that is the basis of the vital activity of any cell, including fibroblast, which is important for the production of collagen.

Using Hyalual products, we have a unique opportunity to fight against the problems of sagging, scars and stretch marks.

Microneedling can be done with a special tool – Perfoskin Complex. His device is designed in such a way that it allows not only to stimulate the skin with blood flow, but also to inject the active substance directly into the dermis.

Thus, we activate the process of neocollagenesis, which is very important in the treatment of hypotrophic scars.
Subcision can be carried out simultaneously with the introduction of hyaluronic and succinic acids with H&S.

In my experience, the results of the H&S procedure are significantly better than those observed after subcision without additional administration of drugs.

Due to the correct combination of possible corrective methods and the use of quality products, we obtain a positive aesthetic result and satisfied patients.
