Representatives of the beautiful half of humanity dream of preserving youthful skin for a long time. To date, beauty salons offer a huge selection of skin rejuvenation procedures. The most popular and effective of them is bio-reinforcement of the face. Let us consider in more detail this type of rejuvenation, as well as the technique of its implementation.
Features
Bioarmilation or vector lifting - a procedure to restore the original contour of the face. With age or for other reasons, strong changes occur in the human body, one of which is the inability to retain a sufficient amount of water in the cells.
As a result, the skin fades and loses its natural elasticity. Modern medicine has found a way to eliminate this problem by introducing special drugs that can hold the required amount of fluid at the cellular level.
After this event, wrinkles are smoothed out on the skin of the face, the skin is tightened and rejuvenated. Due to the fact that the procedure is performed using anesthesia, pain is excluded. Special equipment is introduced according to a special scheme, that is, on certain areas of the skin.
The skin of the face is filled with hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite. As a result, there is a uniform distribution of elements and stimulation of metabolism in cells. The effect of rejuvenation lasts about 5 years. In addition to biogels, threads are also used, which are also introduced under the layers of the dermis, without causing unpleasant sensations. Polycaprolactone filaments are made or it can be 3D mesothreads.
Beauticians use 3 types of threads:
- threads that eventually absorb under the skin layers (gold, polypropylene);
- threads that do not absorb (from polylactic acid);
- combined threads.
The advantages of vector lifting by means of threads include several points.
- The reinforcement procedure lasts no more than 45 minutes.
- The effect of rejuvenation persists for a long time.
- If the result of the procedure did not please you, it is possible to re-change the tension.
The disadvantages include the fact that a feeling of tightness of the skin may appear, which can remain for a long time. If there is a need for surgery, then the threads should be removed.
If the skin has a high softness, then this procedure will not give a positive effect. In some cases, the threads do not take root under the layers of the skin, such a side effect completely depends on the characteristics of the body.
Hyaluronic acid is actively produced in the human body up to 25 years, but with age, the production of this component decreases, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles and dry skin. Thanks to the use of a helium or liquid preparation, the skin becomes elastic, and the face contour becomes clear.
With the help of the introduced special equipment, the production of elastin and collagen is increased. Experts recommend using this method of rejuvenation and tightening the skin of the face and neck at the age of 35 years, at a later age it will be much more difficult to achieve the effect.
A large number of women leave positive reviews about bio-reinforcement, due to the available advantages in using:
- non-surgical technique;
- the face takes on a refreshing shade;
- imperceptible wrinkles are smoothed out;
- prolonged rejuvenation effect;
- the risk of complications is minimized;
- it is possible to correct defects in various skin areas;
- after the procedure, the skin becomes elastic.
The disadvantages of this procedure include age restrictions. After all, applying vector lifting at a too young age, the opposite reaction occurs. To obtain the effect, it is necessary to perform about 3 sessions, a break between which should be 2-3 weeks.
However, artificial preparations introduced into the layers of the dermis are processed and removed from the body over time. The skin, with a decrease in the amount of injected drugs, regains its usual form (it fades, turns pale, and skin elasticity is lost). Therefore, bio-reinforcement must be carried out regularly to rejuvenate.
Indications
Facial bio-reinforcement is recommended for such indications:
- if there is sagging skin on the face;
- in the presence of lowered eyebrows and corners of the eyes;
- owners of deep grooves in the nasolabial folds.
The main indications for the use of bio-reinforcement are age-related modifications of the oval type of face.
Also, this event can be carried out as a preventive measure with a small indicator of wilting and sagging skin. In rare cases, bio-reinforcement is used after burns to repair damaged skin. In addition, bio-reinforcement is carried out in order to increase the cheeks, cheekbones and chin.
Contraindications
Experts categorically prohibit the use of bio-reinforcement for:
- blood disease;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- high temperature;
- oncological diseases;
- wounds and ulcers on the face;
- skin pathology;
- taking medications that can thin the blood.
If there is at least one of the above contraindications, this procedure should not be performed, it is better to consult with a cosmetologist who is able to choose another method of rejuvenation for you.
Preparations
During the event, special means are used, the basis of which is hyaluronic acid, polylactic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite.
The best option is the use of drugs based on hyaluronic acid, because this material has several advantages in use:
- does not harm the skin;
- lack of side effects;
- The result lasts about 1 year.
Vector lifting with special preparations, the basis of which is polylactic acid, is considered the newest method of appearance correction.
The actions of these components are aimed at enhancing the production of new collagen in the cells of the body. The drugs penetrate as deep as possible into the layers of the dermis, so the final result is more pronounced. After all, the depth of drug administration is very important - if it is insufficient, the facial contour can be deformed.
Consider the most popular drugs that are used in bio-reinforcement.
- Revanesse. This drug is easy to use. After applying this component, wrinkles are instantly smoothed out, and the effect is kept depending on the number of special equipment in the file (1.6-2 years).
- Repleri. This drug is made in Russia. Using this ingredient allows you to solve any problems with the skin. The duration of the effect varies from 9 months to 1 year.
- Sugriderm. An assortment of special equipment that have different injection density factors. Thanks to this feature, it becomes possible to select funds for a specific area of the body. The use of Sugriderm does not cause allergic reactions.
- Radiesse The cosmetic product is made on the basis of calcium hydroxyapatite, and the skin rejuvenation effect lasts for a long time (1-1.6 g). If we compare Radiess with hyaluronic acid, then the first drug does not attract liquid to itself, which means that people who have problems with edema can use it. Active components not only correct the oval of the face, but also improves the shape of the cheekbones and chin.
As the reviews show, the latter drug is more popular when carrying out bio-reinforcement, due to the available advantages in using:
- one hundred percent resorption of the drug;
- does not cause allergies;
- minimum side effects;
- painless sensations, because with the introduction of this drug, local anesthesia is simultaneously administered under the skin;
- large scope of use;
- The short time it takes for the skin to recover.
Technique
Before carrying out bio-reinforcement, it is necessary to consult a cosmetologist. He initially clarifies the presence of contraindications, and if any, the beautician should advise you on another method of rejuvenation.
Vector lifting requires some preparation. First of all, the patient should refuse to take anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as medicines that can thin the blood (aspirin, vitamin E) 1-2 weeks before the session.
It is forbidden to carry out bio-reinforcement during the period of menstruation, as well as 5-7 days before it. Indeed, during this period, significant changes in the body occur in the woman’s body. If vector lifting will be performed with anesthesia, then it is necessary to visit the anesthetist to order an examination of the sensitivity of the body to anesthetics. After all, some people do not tolerate anesthesia well, then you will have to choose a different method of skin rejuvenation.
So that after the procedure there is no strong pigmentation, cosmetologists advise to refuse to take alcoholic beverages and additional physical exertion a day before the bio-reinforcement.
To date, cosmetologists for vector lifting use not only biogels, but also threads. Each of these drugs differs in its composition and technique.
To begin with, let us consider in more detail the technique of bio-reinforcement through a biological gel.
- The first step is to treat the skin area with an anesthetic using lidocaine.Anesthesia is performed half an hour before the vector lifting.
- After that, this area must be covered with a film (for 30 minutes). Next, an injection is carried out according to a previously drawn pattern.
- The drug is injected into the layers of the skin using a syringe with a thin needle. The injected drug forms the skeleton of the area of the skin where it was introduced. As a result, sagging skin areas are tightened, as well as the processes of renewal in the cells are activated.
- Specialized drugs are introduced into the middle layers of the dermis.
- At the end of the procedure, the treated areas are lubricated with special agents that have a calming effect.
The use of filaments, when compared with biogels, provides a more effective effect, which lasts a long time (from 5 years). The thread is selected depending on the type of skin and purpose of the procedure.
But not all salons offer this technique, since for this it is necessary to have a certain classification. Therefore, many prefer injection reinforcement.
The technique of bio-reinforcing by means of threads is carried out in several stages.
- A cosmetologist cleanses the skin of various types of contaminants with antiseptic agents.
- As an anesthetic, local or general anesthesia is used, it all depends on the characteristics of the body.
- To introduce suture into the layers of the skin, a syringe with a flexible needle is used in which the threads are preliminarily placed. The introduction is carried out in the form of a grid in the layers of the dermis. Penetrating under the skin, the special material does not harm the dermis, but glides smoothly under it.
- At the end of the procedure, the puncture sites are sealed with a medical plaster, which is treated with an antiseptic. The duration of the session varies from 30 to 45 minutes.
Recovery
Before signing up for a bio-reinforcement session, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with possible side effects that may occur completely unexpectedly.
- In areas prone to injections, redness and swelling may appear. Such places need to be carefully treated with antiseptic agents to prevent the inflammatory process in the body.
- Wrong face contour. Such an effect may occur due to insufficient qualifications of the master, therefore, it is worthwhile to choose a worthy salon and specialist first, it is desirable that there be positive feedback from previous patients. Otherwise, irreversible processes in the body can occur that will affect the skin areas located next to the injections.
- The appearance of age spots on the skin. This is due to improper skin care during the recovery period.
During the rehabilitation period, the patient must comply with some requirements of cosmetologists who will help restore the skin in a fairly short time, as well as prevent side effects.
- The first 24 hours it is forbidden to wet the skin with water, touch it with your hands, as well as lubricate areas with creams and other means.
- Injection areas must be wiped with special means (antiseptics), and anti-inflammatory cream must be applied to these areas. If the pain does not go away for a long time, you should seek help from a specialist who will prescribe painkillers.
- Skin can be taken care of in the usual way only after 3-4 days from the date of the procedure. But it is strictly forbidden to perform peeling and massage, and you can not use scrubs and alcohol-containing products. It is forbidden to knead areas of punctures independently. If compared with mesotherapy, where massage leads to a uniform distribution of the introduced components in the layers of the dermis, then with vector lifting, it is necessary that the biogel is independently distributed in certain areas in the skin layers.
- During the week, it is not recommended to visit the bathhouse, sauna, and it is also necessary to avoid direct exposure to sunlight on areas subjected to bio-reinforcement.
- In order for recovery to take place in a shorter period, it is necessary to take dicinone for 3 days, which can be administered either intravenously or intramuscularly.
Recommendations
Specialists recommend that patients adhere to certain rules, which will help restore immunity after the procedure in a short time.
- The diet should include fruits and vegetables with a high content of vitamin C (orange, lemon, blackcurrant, rosehip, herbs, bell peppers, onions, garlic).
- Areas of skin that were prone to injections must be kept sterile. For cleansing, you can use cosmetic special products that are made on the basis of plant components.
- Beauticians are advised to constantly take vitamin-mineral preparations.
- You should lead a healthy lifestyle. It is not recommended to abuse alcohol, smoking, drugs.
