Beauty injections for age correction: techniques 

K.G.: In the process of complex care, sooner or later everyone comes to beauty injections, since topical application cannot replace injection of drugs: has other points of influence and goals. First of all, photoaging exposed areas of the skin: neck, décolleté and hands.

K.G.: To correct age-related changes in these areas, we can use botulinum toxin therapy, if there is hypertonicity of the platysma bands, we can fill the hands with fillers, but we will always start with hydration, since the skin in the areas of the neck, décolleté and hands is quite thin and has a deficiency of subcutaneous fat. I often combine plasma therapy and biorevitalization for correction if we are working with the decollete and hands, when in addition to sagging, there is hyperpigmentation. The first procedure I carry out is biorevitalization and after 2 weeks I start a course of PRP therapy once in 3-4 weeks.

How to decide on the drug for injections in complex care

KG: If we are talking about rehydration and skin improvement, I go for JUVÉDERM® ^of Allergan, namely - JUVÉDERM® Volite. Its main advantage is that only 1 injection of the drug is enough to achieve a full-fledged result.

K.G.: JUVÉDERM

Volite is different from classic biorevitalizants and by its nature the drug is closer to ^{soft filler}: it contains bound hyaluronic acid, which remains in tissues up to 9 months. In this regard, during the procedure, we should not leave papules, otherwise they will be visualized for the entire period of the drug. According to studies, the peak effect of the procedure is reached in the fourth month. The drug is administered deeply dermally: at the level where there are no large vessels and it is impossible to leave hematomas and pronounced bruises. By nature JUV& Eacute;DERM® Volite closer to soft filler. Anesthesia before beauty injections: advantages, contraindications

  The entire line VYCROSS

Allergan contains hyaluronic acid with traces of lidocaine: does not cause the characteristic burning sensation. CG:

JUVÉDERM®, I have never seen. When we talk about topical application of lidocaine, ^{contact dermatitis} can occur. There are "red flags" when the skin barrier is broken and anesthesia should be avoided: rosacea,treatment of acne, application of adapalene, benzoyl peroxide. Comprehensive skin care in summer 

KG:

normal skin. We are changing textures: we are taking away cold creams, nourishing structures that in summer will clog pores and prevent the release of sebum. Based on your phototype, for the summer you need to choose a product with SPF 50. Skin cleansing will be more intense in summer as the skin sweats and sebum production increases.   

K.G.:

dry skin, even in summer, don't forego nourishing textures: lighter textures we move to the morning, denser – for the night. Damaged dry skin under the influence of the sun is subject to pigmentation much more strongly. To prepare the skin before a holiday in warm countries, the best option would be biorevitalization. Acne and post-acne: problem solving  CG:

lipid layer

dehydrated oily skin. In order to reduce sebum production, we need to moisturize it. Overdrying the skin, we will not get acne remission and regeneration to eliminate post-acne. Thus, complex care is important: topical water-based emollients for penetration into the epidermis and the dermal component – injections.  Effectiveness of plasma therapy in the fight against acne

K.G.: To fight against

post-acne I use biorevitalization, plasma therapy and polynucleotide injections in combination. For patients with a history of acne 10 years old who have pronounced old scars, injection techniques – is not a choice of choice. Here, injection techniques are already combined with negative stimulation: exfoliation, median peels, laser resurfacing, RF-lifting. Seborrheic dermatitis and rosacea: how to keep your skin healthy  CG:

dermatologically

the right home care to maintain remission.  

keratolytic agents

softening and soothing products. In the remission phase, we can use plasma injections that fix the result, as well as botulinum therapy to normalize the work of sebaceous glands. Follow us on Facebook!

CG: There is no such thing as rosacea

rosacea, one form of which iserythematous-telangiectatic.  If we are talking about it, then the main solution will be lifestyle correction in order to minimize provoking factors: avoid ultraviolet rays, high temperatures; exclude from the diet spicy, spices, marinades, alcohol, coffee; exclude traumatic procedures on the skin. 

CG: Yes, we can remove spider veins with laser

genetic tendencies. If we are dealing with persistent erythema, I use botulinum therapy to reduce redness. Why botulinum toxin may not be effective

combination of injection techniques and complex skin care will help protect the skin from negative environmental influences, slow down the development of age-related changes and correct them in a timely manner, and also ensure the maintenance of remission of dermatological diseases
