Double action is much better than a single hit.To make your skin transformation and rejuvenation program twice as effective, experts have selected 5 pairs of the best hardware, injections and plastic procedures that, in a duet, create a real wow effect.
1. Phototherapy + fractional laser
The technique invented by doctors is called Photofractional and combines two consecutive effects on the skin: IPL light (phototherapy) and fractional laser.Thanks to the influence of IPL light, it is possible to remove pigment spots (they often appear after exposure to the sun), and the fractional laser triggers the synthesis of collagen - so it is possible to restore skin fibers that are destroyed under the influence of UV rays.
The photofractional procedure is quite aggressive: it creates the effect of a slightly sunburned face (redness, peeling).Slight swelling lasts 1-2 days.After a week, the peeling disappears, the skin becomes smoother, more even and reflects light well.
The combination of two different effects leads to an impressive result after just one procedure.First, the skin is exposed to IPL light, but with parameters that are more gentle than an independent phototherapy procedure (removal of age spots) and are selected individually.Anesthesia is then performed and the skin is treated with a fractional laser.Phototherapy removes pigments and vascular networks, brightens the skin and gently stimulates collagen synthesis.The laser penetrates very deeply and “drives” the synthesis of new skin fibers.The final effect will be noticeable in 1-2 months.On average, 1-3 procedures (the frequency varies from person to person) need to be performed at an interval of one month.After the procedures, you should definitely protect your face with SPF creams.
2. Facial massage + botulinum toxin injections
Facial massage - manual or with hardware - is one of the procedures that can be used at a relatively young age to prevent age-related changes.It also shows a good effect in correcting age-related changes that have already occurred (pronounced nasolabial folds, “pride wrinkles” and longitudinal wrinkles in the forehead, “crow's feet” in the eye area, loss of facial contours, double chin).Massage allows you to train and strengthen relaxed muscles or, conversely, relax tense muscles.This reduces the severity of wrinkles and improves the oval of the face.The massage is carried out in one course (on average 10 procedures, two per week), after which you can correct facial wrinkles using botulinum toxin injections.In this case, it is possible to get by with a smaller amount of the drug and achieve a more pronounced result.
3. Fractional laser + PRP therapy
Fractional laser is one of the most popular and effective anti-aging procedures.This is a gentle but profound laser skin resurfacing procedure that allows you to reduce the depth of wrinkles, restore the skin's even color, smoothness and density, and initiate the natural process of forming fresh collagen and elastin.The principle of operation of the device allows you to achieve this effect: a thin laser beam penetrates the skin to a certain depth and forms therapeutic microdamages with a diameter of no more than 0.2 mm.This effect destroys old collagen and stimulates the formation of new cells that are responsible for the rapid recovery of damaged areas.This tightens the skin and improves its texture.The fractional rejuvenation procedure can be helpful if you notice sagging skin and fine wrinkles, you don't like uneven complexion and enlarged pores, or if you have age spots or post-acne scars.
Despite the short rehabilitation period after laser irradiation, the full and final effect occurs after 3-5 sessions.At the same time, the rejuvenation mechanisms are activated (and continue to strengthen) just a week after the first procedure, and the effect lasts up to 1.5 years.
It is best to combine fractional laser procedures with PRP therapy - injections of your own blood plasma.Plasma contains platelets, which accelerate skin recovery after laser irradiation.In addition, it contains growth factors that additionally stimulate fibroblasts - cells that produce new collagen and elastin fibers.By combining these two procedures, you can achieve a more pronounced anti-aging effect.
4. Facial skin tightening + filler or car fat injection
With the help of plastic surgery you can achieve a lifting effect, but unfortunately it cannot completely eliminate wrinkles.After plastic surgery, for example, wrinkles around the mouth and “marionette lines” (the so-called “sad lines”) remain.To make them less noticeable, filler injections are used in the area of the nasolabial folds, lips and cheekbones.An alternative to filler injections is the lipofilling procedure, which uses your own fat cells to replenish volume.They are taken with a syringe from certain areas of the body (stomach, inner thighs, knees) and injected in small quantities into the desired area.This must be done very carefully, because the main task is to ensure that the fat cells adapt to the right place and take root.The advantage of lipofilling over filler injections is obvious: fillers have to be replaced every year, while fat cells remain in the injection area for years.With lipofilling, a possible allergic reaction to the injected fillers is also ruled out.
5. Blepharoplasty + laser procedures
To a greater extent, this combination is suitable for operations on the lower eyelid, where the muscles are “soldered” to the skin and it is impossible to remove all the excess.Therefore, laser treatment of this area is indicated three weeks after surgery.The laser has a stimulating effect on the skin, reducing it and activating the synthesis of new collagen and elastin - after which the skin becomes thicker and more elastic.One session may be enough for a pronounced effect.
Often this technique is used in cases where it is necessary to remove hernial sacs (by the way, this problem can worry even quite young people).The operation to remove such hernias is carried out transconjunctivally (through a small incision on the side of the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid), and after the removal of the fatty bags, excess skin remains that needs to be tightened - a laser is required for these purposes.
