Facial contouring
Facial contouring is a minimally invasive method of correcting the shape of the face, cheekbones and lips, as well as eliminating wrinkles by injecting drugs based on hyaluronic acid (fillers). Hyaluronic acid is an inorganic component of human connective tissue. Since this substance is natural, it is absolutely safe, does not cause allergies, is compatible with the skin, and over time it is completely removed from the human body. In addition, facial contouring with fillers stimulates the growth of new skin cells and its regeneration.
Unfortunately, the skin loses its elasticity with age, folds and wrinkles appear on it, which become deeper and deeper every year. If 15-20 years ago, it seemed possible to fight age-related changes in the face only with the help of plastic surgeons, then today face contouring with hyaluronic acid is gaining more and more popularity.
According to reviews, facial contouring helps to effectively eliminate wrinkles between the eyes and eyebrows, wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, deep nasolabial folds, wrinkles on the forehead. In addition, the technology helps to get rid of post-operative or post-traumatic scars, acne scars and raise the corners of the mouth.
Advantages and disadvantages of hyaluronic acid face contouring
According to reviews, facial contouring has several important advantages at once, in contrast to plastic surgery. The most important advantage of the method is its almost instant effect. The procedure itself takes very little time and does not require a person to abandon everyday activities.
In addition, contour plastic does not require a rehabilitation period. Immediately after the procedure, a person can return to their usual rhythm of life.
One major disadvantage of facial contouring is fragility. Unfortunately, fillers completely dissolve over time and all the imperfections come back again. On average, the effect of one procedure lasts from 8 months to one year.
The essence of face contouring with fillers
Actually, the method itself is extremely simple and does not take much time. It consists in the introduction of a special gel into various layers of the skin. The drug is administered using thin needles or cannulas. This is a low-traumatic method, and the duration of such a procedure takes an average of half an hour.
For contouring, anesthesia is usually not required, since most modern drugs already contain an anesthetic. During one such procedure, you can get rid of several problems at once if you apply a combined correction. It consists in combining the correction of the face, lips and the elimination of deep or fine wrinkles.
The effect after the procedure is noticeable immediately, but after the edema and redness subsides, it becomes more pronounced. In the first few days after the face contouring, the patient is not recommended to express his emotions too much, but to maintain maximum mimic calm. A week after the procedure, you should not visit the gym or the pool, and for two weeks - the solarium, sauna or bath.
Contraindications to face contouring
This procedure has a number of contraindications. So, for example, it is not recommended to do it during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in the presence of fungal, viral and bactericidal diseases, infectious and immune diseases, type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus, hemophilia on the skin.
You should also not carry out face contouring during the rehabilitation period (several weeks) after laser resurfacing or chemical peeling.
