NON-SURGICAL AESTHETIC

BOTOX

Botox, also called botulinum toxin, is well known by people looking to fight wrinkles and signs of aging. In fact, the injection of botox into the muscle makes it possible to block the production of acetylcholine, thus leading to paralysis of the latter. Therefore, the result is not long in coming, expression lines are reduced. Indeed, botox is most often injected on the upper part of the face, in particular on forehead wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet wrinkles.

What are the indications for botox?

The purpose of botox is to tighten the skin. Even if its use is sometimes quite criticized, botulinum toxin has proven itself when it comes to reducing wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes or between the eyebrows. The injections do not carry any major risk, but must imperatively be carried out by a doctor. Indeed, know-how is imperative in order to obtain a natural result that preserves facial expressions. When the dosages are not controlled, the risk is to obtain a face without any expression. Also, the technique must be mastered to avoid paralysis of the muscles. In addition, botox injections on the lower part of the face are rarer than on the upper part, because there may be a moderate and transient risk of oral paralysis.

How does the botox injection work?

The botox injection takes place during a second consultation with the practitioner. The first serving to inform the patient of the expected results, the price as well as the contraindications. Botulinum toxin is injected using micro-injections. It is fairly quick and painless. The patient can therefore resume his activities as soon as he leaves the office.

How long does the effect of botox last?

Improvement in wrinkles is visible two to three days after the injection. The skin is smoother and more relaxed, the look becomes younger for several months. After three to four months, the effects are reduced, it is then that a new injection of botox against wrinkles can be decided, in agreement with the doctor.

DERMA FILLER

Filler injections are cosmetic treatments used to smooth wrinkled, scarred or furrowed skin. Sometimes they are also used to create lip filling. The products used vary in terms of longevity and chemical composition.

There are different forms of injectable fillers available. The most common forms are:

Hyaluronic acid injections are used to improve the contour of the skin and reduce sags. Visible improvements can be seen in frown lines, smile lines and crow’s feet, facial scars caused by acne, burns or wounds as well as forehead wrinkles. Because hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, this form of injection is very common.

Polylactic acid fillers are synthetic in nature and injected to stimulate the body’s production of collagen, leading to gradual results over a period of months. They are non-toxic and biodegradable. These dermal fillers are often used to create fuller lips, fill in fine lines, and treat nasolabial folds.

Hydroxylapatite, considered a sterile injectable subcutaneous latex implant, is produced without the use of animal products. It can be used to fill in moderate to severe facial wrinkles, improve filling of cheeks and other facial contours, and improve overall volume. It creates a very natural result and lasts 12 to 18 months.

The risks include infection, bleeding, bruising, allergic reactions, and lumpy skin after treatment. Before treatment, it is important to eliminate all alcohol consumption and to avoid any blood thinning medication such as aspirin. Your doctor is in the best position to determine the type and volume of filler needed to treat your problem.

PRP FACIAL

PRP is an injection product made from platelet-rich plasma to stimulate stem cells in the dermis that make collagen and elastin. This procedure has been known for over twenty years to treat osteoarthritis, tendonitis or ligament rupture and helps to rejuvenate and beautify the skin of the face, neck, décolleté and hands or to treat certain skin imperfections. Its virtues are now used more and more in anti-aging medicine.

The plasma is a serum that contains nutrients, vitamins, hormones, minerals and proteins, which are essential for cell survival. It is prepared from the patient’s own blood, containing platelets and growth factors that promote the activation of the skin’s natural regeneration mechanisms and it. It is therefore an autologous product, 100% biocompatible and without any risk of rejection or allergy.

Depending on the indication to be treated, a complete PRP treatment consists of three to six sessions. Each session is spaced four to six weeks apart.

The aftermath of injections

Erythema, edema, itching or temporary tenderness of the skin and possible bruising for a few days. The resumption of activities is instantaneous.

The results

Immediately after the session, there is already a marked improvement in the radiance and tone of the skin. After a month, the skin becomes softer, less wrinkled and wrinkled on the surface, and skin imperfections diminish.

The PRP treatment should be renewed every six months to maintain the result in a lasting way.

NON SURGICAL NOSE JOB

Developments in medical technology now offer the possibility of performing nose jobs without surgery. While saving you from the knife, the procedure promises commendable results.

Suitable for small corrections

A nose that is not harmonious with the rest of the face or with an unsightly shape causes many people to have complexes or a feeling of unease. However, there are many who dread going through the scalpel box. For small cosmetic procedures, he does not have to do so. The no-surgery method is gaining popularity. To do this, the practitioner uses hyaluronic acid, a component naturally present in our body and which is perfectly tolerated by the body.

What can be corrected with hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid makes it possible to change noses without surgery. This process is called medical rhinoplasty. The bump in the nose can thus be smoothed out without surgery. This solution can also be applied to straighten the tip of the nose, reduce a bump, fill a hollow or even refine the ridge line. Hyaluronic acid also helps to rectify the symmetry of the face and give it better harmony.

Over time, the body gradually absorbs hyaluronic acid. After a year, the corrections disappear. It is therefore often necessary to repeat the injection operation. While it is the solution for all patients who are afraid of the scalpel, nose reshaping without open surgery can also be an intermediate step before choosing a definitive solution.

How is nose surgery performed without an operation?

When deciding to have your nose done without surgery, the first step is, like a traditional cosmetic procedure, a preliminary interview that will serve to precisely determine expectations. During this appointment, the practitioner usually performs a simulation to present the patient with the end result they can expect.

The procedure is performed in the surgeon’s office. After applying an anesthetic cream, the surgeon performs multiple injections and shapes the nose at the same time to distribute the product evenly. No dressing is necessary at the end of the procedure and the result is visible immediately. A few blisters may appear, but usually go away after a few days. It is possible to go to work immediately after the hyaluronic acid injection.
