Aging can be divided into chrono-aging (produced by the passage of time) and extrinsic aging (caused by external factors: sun, tobacco, free radicals, pollution...). This occurs due to damage and loss of collagen, elastic fibers and glycosaminoglycans (hyaluronic acid).
In our unit we carry out a holistic assessment to address aging in a global way, controlling extrinsic factors and adding substances that help us reverse it.
WHAT TREATMENTS ARE THERE?
- Topical treatments: photoprotection, retinoic acid, vitamin C.
- Oral treatment: Antioxidants.
- Infiltrated treatment:
- Infiltrated hyaluronic acid: There are different options depending on age and degree of aging. There are hyaluronics for hydration and others for filler. Hyaluronic acid is an absorbable and degradable molecule, making it very safe. The average duration of this treatment is 1 year.
- Treatment of dynamic wrinkles: What is achieved is to precisely relax the muscles that produce unsightly expression wrinkles, giving harmony to the face and a more relaxed appearance, softening expressions that harden the gesture, such as a frown. Performed by an experienced professional, a very natural and restful result is obtained, without losing natural expressiveness at any time. In addition, it is a very painless process, since a very fine needle is used. The treatment is completely individualized, since the movements of the facial muscles in each person are different and some muscles have more strength than others. Contrary to what most people think, better results are obtained if treatment is started between 30-40 years of age, because we help correct excessive expressions that eventually mark deep wrinkles on our face. The areas that are usually treated are: between the eyebrows, the periocular area (crow's feet) and the forehead. The results are observed after 48 hours, the maximum effect is obtained after 15 days and its duration is variable, depending on the patient and ranges between 4 and 6 months.
- Others: Mesotheraphy and growth factors.
- Complementary treatments: electroporation, peels, photodynamic therapy.
- Laser treatments: CO2 laser and IPL.
For all these reasons, an adequate and individualized assessment is important to achieve the best result. At Dermamedicin we have all the treatment options and specialized professionals with great experience.
