“If it would just stretch just a little bit here, I would look better”
This is something my patients commonly tell me the first time they come for an assessment, but how much is ” a little bit”? 🤔
The reality is that it can involve a series of procedures that are more complex than they may seem at first glance.
That is why today we are going to talk about effective anti-aging procedures.
But not only that, we will also talk about what happens internally and what are the factors involved in this process.
5 effective anti-aging procedures
There are many factors that intervene in the aging process (which we will talk about later) and in order to address them, the best way is to use non-invasive procedures that don’t cause a rebound effect.
These are:
✅ Facial fat removal
Fat always generates weight.
Consequently, it causes the ligaments and the rest of the facial structures to weaken. Therefore, removing this excess fat can help in the rejuvenation of the skin, causing:
- Attenuation of the famous nasolabial folds (or jawls).
This result can be obtained with liposuction of the area or with lipoenzymes, which requires several sessions.
✅ Biostimulators
This treatment helps us to form new and better quality collagen. For this, services such as smooth threads can be used, where it is recommended that a minimum of 10 to 20 threads are applied per area for optimal results.
Similarly, there are also the latest generation threads such as Ellanse and Profhilo that have more noticeable and lasting effects.
✅ Facial Lifting
This effect can be achieved through various techniques, one of which is the application of hyaluronic acid at strategic points. These points are:
- The cheekbones or jaw arch.
Thanks to this, facial angles can be restored.
To achieve this, laser technology can be used, which stimulates the cells internally to generate retraction of the skin.
✅ Botox
It is the flagship treatment that we usually call “the cherry on the cake”.
This is because we can work it in several areas and improve (by far) expression lines.
In addition, if placed in strategic points, it can benefit you with lifting effect as in the area around the eyes (a few units are always good to refresh and restore time😉).
✅ Hormone replacement therapies
Finally, we have to mention the hormonal issue, which has not been taken into account as it should be, since it is of utmost importance to have the best results.
This is addressed with hormone replacement therapies that seek to control all the hormones that are not working properly.
To do this, there are devices such as pellets that are applied to the buttock to release the hormones that the body is not producing properly.
As you can see, these treatments address the most important points of rejuvenation. Consequently, you can combine techniques for a better result.
So, knowing this, you can realize that stretching a ” little bit” can be an arduous task that involves several processes, but without a doubt: it is possible.
Now, what are the factors involved in aging?
As we have already mentioned, it is a process of internal and external factors that can delay or advance the signs of aging.
External factors are those habits that we have such as food, nutrition 🥑
Other factors such as smoking, alcohol, sedentary lifestyle and poor skin care also play a role. ❌
Many people start applying sunscreen when the signs of aging are very evident. It is never too late, but it is best to start when we are young.
Now, if we talk about internal factors, several stand out as follows:
- Bone resorption.
- Atrophy of the fat pads.
- Atrophy of the ligaments.
- Atrophy of the muscles.
- Loss of collagen and elastin.
All these processes will generate a loss of facial structure and support that will cause you to lose facial angles or what is known as “the triangle of youth”.
👉 Therefore, in order to perform a successful facial rejuvenation it is also important to have a good skin care routine and, of course, to improve the habits that deteriorate the organism and accelerate this process.
By following each of these steps, you will be able to look younger without surgery and give your face more freshness that will make you shine at all times. 😍
