Face

Botox
Botox is the trade name for botulinum toxin type A, a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is mainly known for its use in aesthetic medicine to reduce wrinkles, but it also has many other medical applications.

Here are some key facts about Botox:

Aesthetic Medicine: Botox is used to temporarily inhibit muscle spasms that cause wrinkles, primarily on the face. During its application, small amounts of the toxin are injected into the muscles, causing temporary paralysis.
Duration of Action: The effects of Botox treatment can last from 3 to 6 months, depending on age, skin type, and frequency of use.
Safety: At the correct doses and when used properly, Botox is considered safe. However, it must be administered by trained professionals.

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a natural polysaccharide found in the human body, mainly in the skin, eyes, and joints. It has the ability to bind large amounts of water, making it particularly useful in many applications. Here are some key facts about hyaluronic acid:

Aesthetic Medicine: Hyaluronic acid is widely used in aesthetic medicine to increase skin volume, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin firmness.

Procedure:
The process involves injecting hyaluronic acid with a fine needle or microcannula into the desired areas. Depending on the area and type of product used, the procedure can last from a few minutes to an hour.

Applications:
Commonly applied to areas such as the lips, wrinkles around the eyes, nasolabial folds, cheekbones, facial contour, chin, temples, and other areas where there is volume loss but can be used all over the body.

Duration:
Depending on the type of hyaluronic acid and the application area, results can last from 1 to 2 years. Hyaluronic acid is biodegradable, so the body absorbs it over time.

Threads
Skin threads are an aesthetic procedure aimed at lifting and tightening the skin. They are mainly used to reduce skin laxity, especially on the face and neck. Here are some basic facts about skin threads:

Types of Threads:
Various types of threads include PDO (Polydioxanone), PCL (Polycaprolactone), PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid), and lifting COG threads. The type of thread used depends on the patient’s needs and the doctor’s advice.

Procedure:
Threads are inserted into the skin using fine needles or cannulas. As the threads enter the skin, they create a fiber mesh in the surrounding area, which causes skin tightening and rejuvenation. The procedure lasts 30-40 minutes.

Results:
The tightening caused by the threads can be immediate, with further improvement over the next few months as the skin responds by creating new collagen.

Duration:
Depending on the type of thread and technique used, results can last from 6 months to 1 year.

Tips:
It is especially important to choose a trained and experienced doctor for the procedure, as technique and experience are critical to achieving the best results.
Skin threads offer a minimally invasive option for skin tightening, making them popular among those who do not want or are not ready for more surgical procedures.

Mesotherapy
Facial mesotherapy is a non-surgical procedure where small amounts of pharmaceutical, vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients are injected directly into the dermis (the middle layer of the skin). Its purpose is to improve the texture, glow, and firmness of the skin.

Applications:
Mesotherapy can be used to address many skin problems, such as wrinkles, hyperpigmented spots, dryness, acne, and more.

Procedure:
A fine needle is used to inject the nutrient mixture into the skin, or the dermapen is used. The procedure is usually slightly uncomfortable.

Results:
The skin may look brighter, healthier, and refreshed after treatment. Improvement is usually progressive, with results more pronounced after multiple sessions.
Duration and Frequency:
Multiple sessions are usually recommended at intervals of weeks or months for optimal results. The duration of results may vary depending on the type of treatment and the patient’s skin characteristics.

Side Effects:
Side effects are usually mild and short-lived. They may include redness, swelling, bruising, or a slight burning sensation.
It is important to consult a specialist dermatologist or aesthetic doctor before proceeding with any treatment to ensure it is suitable for your needs and expectations.

Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is a popular aesthetic procedure used for skin renewal, focusing on removing the surface layers of dead cells. There are various types of dermabrasion, but the two most popular are diamond dermabrasion and microcrystal dermabrasion.

Diamond Dermabrasion: In this technique, a pen-like tool with a diamond tip is used. As the tool passes over the skin’s surface, the diamond “scrapes” the surface layers, removing dead cells. Simultaneously, a suction system removes the dead cells.

Microcrystal Dermabrasion: In this technique, a special tool blasts fine microcrystals onto the skin at high speed. These microcrystals “polish” the surface layers of the skin, while a suction system removes the microcrystals and dead skin cells.

Effectiveness: Both types of dermabrasion are effective in renewing the skin’s surface, but the choice between them depends on the skin type, needs, and preferences of the patient.

Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a dermatological procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, or hands. During this procedure, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off the upper layers. This leaves smoother skin underneath that is usually less wrinkled.

Types of Chemical Peels:
i. Superficial Peel: Uses mild acids, such as lactic, glycolic, or salicylic acid, to lightly exfoliate the epidermis. It is suitable for mild discolorations and wrinkles.
ii. Medium Peel: Uses a stronger acid (like trichloroacetic) that reaches the middle layer of the skin. It is suitable for more severe discolorations, wrinkles, and some scars.
iii. Deep Peel: Uses phenol or another strong chemical that penetrates deeply into the skin. It offers dramatic results for severe discolorations, deep wrinkles, and scars.

Procedure:
Before the peel, you may need to prepare your skin using creams or lotions.
During the procedure, the chemical solution is applied to the skin and left on for a specific time.
After application, the solution is rinsed off, and soothing creams are applied.
Sun exposure should be avoided after the procedure, as the skin will be more sensitive to UV radiation.
Tips for Selection:
It is important to choose an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon to perform the peel. Discuss your expectations and any medical issues that may affect the procedure openly.
It is always recommended to consult a specialist before proceeding with any dermatological treatment to ensure the safety and success of the procedure.

Deep Cleansing

Deep facial cleansing is one of the basic treatments for proper skincare.

Procedure: During deep cleansing, a special device called a vaporizer is used for about 20 minutes. Then, sebum and dead cells are removed from the skin, and clogged pores and cysts, as well as blackheads or whiteheads, are opened with special care, always following all hygiene rules. Sterilization follows using a high-frequency current, which ensures the prevention of infections caused by bacteria and microbes.

Ultrasonic Spatula Cleansing

Ultrasonic spatula cleansing is a non-invasive treatment for skin rejuvenation and renewal. It effectively helps to extract trapped sebum and dead cells that clog the skin’s pores, leaving it clean and glowing. High-frequency vibrations penetrate the skin to a depth of about 3-5 mm to effectively cleanse pores, improve blood circulation, and boost skin metabolism, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial skin elasticity.

Ultrasound

Cosmetic ultrasound is a technique used in aesthetic dermatology and cosmetology to improve the appearance of the skin and reduce issues such as wrinkles, sagging, spots, and more.

The main applications of cosmetic ultrasound include:

• Skin Tightening Ultrasound: Used for tightening and improving skin elasticity. The heat generated by ultrasound stimulates collagen production, causing skin tightening and renewal.
• Lipolysis Ultrasound: Used to destroy fat cells in specific facial areas (double chin), helping to reduce localized fat.
• Improvement of Scars and Spots: By enhancing cell renewal, ultrasound can help improve the appearance of scars and spots.
• Product Penetration Enhancement: In some aesthetic treatments, ultrasound can be used to aid better product penetration into the skin, such as vitamins and moisturizers.
• Eye Treatment: Ultrasound can be used to treat dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles around the sensitive eye area.

Chromotherapy

According to practitioners of chromotherapy, this method is capable of detoxifying, increasing circulation, and soothing irritations. For the face, green light rays support treatments targeting the removal of pigment spots or sebum, red light improves circulation, yellow light aids in the detoxification of acne-prone skin, blue light enhances lymphatic drainage, while violet light has a tonic effect on the skin. Similar beneficial effects are achieved with chromotherapy on the body.

Fruit Acid Whitening (AHA)

Facial whitening is ideal for all facial areas exposed to sunlight as well as areas with visible marks, such as freckles and acne scars. AHAs promote skin exfoliation, aiming for a deep cleanse of the epidermis. Ideal for oily, acne-prone skin and anti-aging, as they reduce the intensity of wrinkles. At the same time, fruit acids have the property of penetrating deep into the skin, reaching pigmentation and discolorations at any depth and promoting depigmentation. In this way, they enhance the skin’s response and regeneration process.
