Hyaluronic acid fillers are a type of temporary dermal fillers designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike other anti-aging injections, Hyaluronic acid naturally exists in the skin and is a key component in the skin’s ability to retain water for a plump, hydrated complexion. When hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the skin, the filler attracts more water. In fact, it can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water—which ultimately leads to the appearance of naturally plump skin. For this reason, HA fillers are commonly used all over the face. HA fillers can be used in the temples, tear troughs, cheekbones, smile lines, lips, chin and jawline.
Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
- Stimulates collagen production
- Adds volume
- Smoothes texture
- Decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- HA exists naturally in the body
- Lasts up to a year
If your goal is to cater to areas of volume loss or prevent the appearance of volume loss in the most natural-looking way possible, hyaluronic acid fillers are a great option to help achieve your goals.
Since HA is a natural component of the human body, adverse effects are unlikely and the overall process is fairly painless and safe (just be sure to have this treatment done by a certified doctor).
Profhilo treatment is a novelty in the world of aesthetic medicine. It is a hyaluronic collagen stimulator with the effect of bio-remodeling collagen and subcutaneous fat tissue. It is currently the most sought-after product for skin rejuvenation.
With age, the skin loses its quality, which is mainly due to the reduction of hyaluronic acid and collagen fibers, which results in a decrease in tone and elasticity of the skin. Unlike usual dermal fillers, Profhilo does not create additional volume in the skin, but deep in the tissue encourages fibroblasts to produce more collagen by themselves and “plump” the skin. In this way, the skin of the face, neck and hands is tightened and gets a completely natural look.
How does Profhilo work?
The Profhilo preparation contains hyaluronic acid of low molecular mass, which penetrates deep into the skin and hydrates it from the inside, improving the elasticity and texture of the skin, while hyaluronic acid of high molecular mass creates a “network” in the surface layer of the skin, providing support and firmness.
Profhilo is applied at precisely determined points on the face and neck, using a special injection technique that is painless and minimally invasive.
After the treatment, the hyaluronic acid slowly breaks down in the skin, providing a gradual and natural improvement in the appearance of the skin over a period of 2 to 6 months. All this together leads to the reduction of wrinkles, improvement of the firmness and elasticity of the skin, and restoration of natural volume, freshness and radiance to the face and neck.
Patients may feel an immediate improvement thanks to the hydrating effect, but it can take a few weeks before the real results of treatment start to be noticed – as Profhilo encourages the body to produce its own anti-aging collagen and elastin.
After a month, the skin feels smoother, softer, tighter and plumper. At this point, a second treatment is needed to fully stimulate the collagen and elastin production for optimal results.
Botox is a drug doctors have been using for years to treat wrinkles and facial creases. Botox is a brand name of a toxin made by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Although there are other brands, such as Dysport and Xeomin, Botox is the term you hear most often because it was the first injectable botulinum toxin.
The most common reason for using Botox is to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles.
Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can’t contract. That makes wrinkles relax and soften. Botox is most often used on forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eye) and frown lines. Botox won’t help with wrinkles caused by sun damage or gravity.
Getting Botox takes only a few minutes. You won’t need anesthesia. The provider uses a small needle to inject Botox into specific muscles with only minor discomfort.
It generally takes 7 to 14 days for the treatment to take full effect.
The effects from Botox will last 3 to 6 months. As muscle action slowly returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles are shrinking.
Exosomes
Exosomes are nanoparticles released by nearly all cells in the human body, and skin cells have their very own kind of exosomes. They contain various lipids, proteins, amino acids, growth factors, and genetic material.
Exsome therapy involves the application of topical exosomes (in the form of what looks and feels like a serum or gel) after treatments like resurfacing lasers or microneedling.
As we get older, our skin cells start to atrophy, and our bodies produce fewer exosomes — similar to how we experience a decrease in collagen production. This leads to sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles. Exosome therapy allows new exosomes to swoop in to help wake up inactive skin cells and older exosomes so they can get back to work to repair, strengthen, and rejuvenate skin.
In the process, exosome therapy increases collagen and elastin production, improves wound healing, and decreases pigment production. As a result, skin becomes plumper, firmer, brighter, and smoother.
The important part is exosomes “are continually active over a period of six to eight months post-treatment, so the results last longer than Botox. You can also get them as often as you get your laser and microneedling treatments done.
