Aesthetic medicine, not to be confused with cosmetic surgery, includes all specific medical care techniques, without surgery, aimed at improving unsightly problems, whether or not related to the effects of aging, of the body or face.
Aesthetic medicine therefore aims to improve appearance. It readily employs injection techniques, exfoliation, and various physical agents such as light, lasers, electromagnetic radiation, intense cold, ultrasounds, etc...
BOTOX: BOTULINUM TOXIN INJECTION
Botox (also called Botulinum Toxin Type A) is a neurotoxin that prevents acetylcholine (a substance used by the brain to communicate with muscles) from being released and reaching the connection between nerves and muscles. Botox temporarily blocks the link between nerves and muscles, which therefore results in muscle movement. This connection will gradually be restored.
When to Prefer Botox?
Botox is primarily used to treat crow's feet (the wrinkles that appear at the outer corners of the eyes) and frown lines (vertical wrinkles that appear on the forehead, between the eyebrows).
Results
The Botox temporarily improves the appearance of wrinkles by reducing muscle movements.
The Botox targets specific muscles. You can still express your emotions, but with fewer wrinkles.
The first results are visible after 24 hours, and last for approximately 5 to 6 months. After that, it is up to you whether to continue the treatment or not.
HYALURONIC ACID: THE FILLER PRODUCT
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in our skin. With age, this molecule becomes increasingly scarce. This phenomenon increases the risk of the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face, neck, and décolleté.
In which areas should Hyaluronic Acid be prioritized?
- Dark circles
- The tenses
- The cheeks
- The nose and nasolabial fold
- Perioral wrinkles, lips, jaw, and chin
- Puppet wrinkles
The results
Unlike Botox, hyaluronic acid is a filler product. Indeed, it will have the effect of plumping up areas of the face with little volume, smoothing fine lines, folds, and wrinkles, and lifting certain areas.
The injectable product is biodegradable, so it will naturally disappear after 12 to 18 months. This period may vary from person to person.
SKINBOOSTERS: PROFHILO
Profhilo® is a liquid gel based on hyaluronic acid, which acts as a stimulating product rather than a filling product.
Not only does Profhilo® provide deep and lasting hydration, but it also remodels the skin by increasing collagen production. This collagen-stimulating process helps to firm the skin overall.
How does it work?
It is a combination of two gels with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid that has a strong ability to diffuse.
Injected very superficially, it will induce a structural remodeling of the dermis. It promotes the viability of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and adipose cells, resulting in increased elasticity and support of the skin.
The processing cost
The cost of a Profhilo injection session is approximately 300 euros.
