What are safe and effective anti-aging programs?

We have been aging since we were born. This is an irresistible natural law, and the most intuitive manifestation of aging is facial aging. Generally speaking, the most intuitively visible signs of facial aging are changes in skin texture and sagging. But in fact, aging occurs at all levels of the facial structure. It’s just that the time and process of aging at each level are different, and each level has different degrees. Aging factors all contribute to the aging appearance of an individual's face.

Today, let me tell you what anti-aging programs are currently available that can “fight” against time and help us retain our external beauty.

What are the facial anti-aging programs?

①Facial facelift

There are many methods of anti-aging on the face, starting with the oldest facelift. At present, everyone is relatively familiar with this surgery. It can significantly improve facial aging, and the effect is more obvious for older people with more severe facial aging.

But in fact, no one is doing this surgery anymore because it involves a large surgical trauma, a long postoperative recovery period, and a short maintenance time. In addition, in terms of postoperative effects, although the face lift has a lifting effect, it has a greater impact on facial expressions. Some people also jokingly call it "facial tightening". In addition, there is another side effect. The skin after a major facelift is stretched very thin, and the skin will lose its original elasticity, making future skin care more difficult.

② Minimally invasive small incision facelift and endoscopic facelift

Compared with major facelift, the surgical trauma is much smaller, the postoperative recovery is faster, and the postoperative effect is better Naturally, it lasts longer. However, surgery always requires incisions, scars are permanent, and the effects are temporary. This is also the reason why many beauty seekers hesitate. Therefore, this anti-aging program is far less popular than minimally invasive or non-invasive anti-aging methods.

③ Thread carving

Thread carving, as a minimally invasive anti-aging technology, is currently widely used because it can not only meet the public’s desire to reverse aging and improve appearance, but also has the advantages of surgery. It has the advantages of less trauma, fast recovery, natural effect, and good surgical experience. In addition, there are many types of wires used in thread engraving, and different wires can meet different anti-aging needs, from the improvement of fine lines on the face to the improvement of facial sagging, and even rhinoplasty, brow bone augmentation, eye bag removal, etc. Therefore, it can suit the needs of different beauty seekers.

④Injection of botulinum toxin

Botulinum toxin, referred to as botulinum toxin, is a toxin that blocks nerves. When injected locally, it blocks the release of acetylneurocholine. This blocks the conduction of nerves to muscles. Injection into expression lines can paralyze the muscles, causing the nerves to lose ganglia, thereby achieving a good wrinkle removal effect.

Botulinum toxin injection for wrinkle removal is suitable for people aged 20-50 who have good skin elasticity and have obvious wrinkles but not very severe skin sagging. This method is effective in removing forehead lines, Sichuan-shaped lines, glabella lines, crow's feet lines at the corners of the eyes, and dorsum of the nose lines, with quick and immediate results. No pain, no swelling, no impact on work and study, just do it and leave. The effects of botulinum toxin last for 6-12 months and require additional injections to maintain.

⑤Hyaluronic acid injection

Hyaluronic acid is an internationally certified injection filling material. It has the characteristics of filling and shaping, repairing wrinkles, and stimulating autologous collagen regeneration. It is combined with facial aesthetic standards and is comprehensive. It can create three-dimensional and personalized exquisite facial features and facial contours. While injecting and shaping, it can not only effectively remove various facial wrinkles, making them invisible on the face, but also effectively improve the skin texture.

Hyaluronic acid can repair skin tissue depressions, soft tissue defects, etc., and restore beauty-seeking skin to a plump and smooth state. Filling areas include temporal augmentation, cheek augmentation, cheekbone depression filling, etc. The maintenance time of hyaluronic acid is also limited and requires regular supplementary injections.

⑥Autologous fat filling

Autologous fat filling for the whole face is to purify and process the excess fat in parts of the body into fine fat particles and then fill it into the dry and flat parts of the face. Make your face refined and plump.

Autologous fat filling is to extract plasma rich in high concentrations of platelets and various self-growth factors from the blood, and re-inject it into the dermal tissue, which can increase the content of collagen and elastic fibers in the skin, and can Improve wrinkles, skin gloss, shrink pores, and achieve anti-aging effects.

⑦Mesotherapy

"Water-light acupuncture" is what we often call mesotherapy (mesotherapy). Human skin is differentiated from ectoderm and mesoderm. Skin is divided into epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is differentiated from ectoderm, and the dermis is differentiated from mesoderm. The water-light needle acts on the dermis, so it is called mesoderm. therapy.

The principle of mesotherapy is to use ultra-micro-penetration technology to position, layer and quantitatively transport a variety of high-concentration skin nutrients directly through the epidermis to the deep subcutaneous tissue, which is equivalent to directly Give "nourishment".

⑧Laser radio frequency type

Such as Thermage, etc., the principle of action is to stimulate the damaged collagen layer to produce new collagen, thereby filling in the wrinkles of the skin caused by the reduction of collagen. . Another function is to heat the dermal tissue or fascia tissue, use the body's own repair function to stimulate tissue regeneration and reconstruction, shrink the deep layers of the skin, further tighten facial muscles and fat, and achieve the effect of removing or reducing wrinkles and lifting to a certain extent.

①Botulinum toxin + hyaluronic acid

Botulinum toxin targets dynamic wrinkles, and hyaluronic acid supplements static wrinkles. Botulinum toxin can reduce muscle activity, which slows the absorption of fillers.

Combined application can be combined in different parts of the whole face. At this time, the two drugs are injected in different parts, so they can be injected at the same time. There is also a method of joint use in the same part of the face (such as joint injection to correct deep glabella lines and forehead lines). At this time, botulinum toxin is injected first, and the filler is injected after 7-15 days to fully take effect to avoid overcorrection or undercorrection. ; Particularly experienced doctors can also inject at the same time, filling first and then botulinum toxin.

②Hyaluronic acid + laser radiofrequency

Hyaluronic acid filler can improve wrinkles and depressions, while laser radiofrequency can reduce fine lines, stains, pores, etc., and completely improve skin texture. Treatment procedure: Avoid laser treatment immediately after injecting hyaluronic acid. You can perform filler injection in the middle of the laser treatment, or inject it for a period before doing laser treatment.

③Non-surgical + surgical treatment

For patients with severe skin sagging, non-surgical and surgical treatment must be combined. Generally, surgery (rhytidectomy, eye bag surgery, blepharoptosis surgery, brow lift surgery, etc.) is performed first to improve obvious signs of aging, then fillers are used to supplement volume loss and static wrinkles, botulinum toxin dynamic wrinkles, and finally laser treatment is used to improve skin texture.

Maintenance should be done as early as possible. We have no way to prevent aging, we can only delay it as much as possible. When it comes to facial rejuvenation, individual differences should be taken into consideration and you should choose a project that suits you based on your doctor’s recommendations. Beauty can bring some conveniences, and becoming more beautiful is also the pursuit and yearning of most people. However, when we choose ways and methods to become beautiful, we must pay attention to the safety of products and projects as the top priority. After all, no external beauty can surpass the beauty of life. Remember, what is safe and suitable is the best.
