Common Procedures in Non-Surgical Facial Harmonization
- Dermal Fillers:
- Hyaluronic acid: It is used to add volume to specific areas of the face, such as cheekbones, lips and expression lines. It helps to smooth wrinkles and folds, providing a more youthful and fresh appearance.
- Calcium Hydroxyapatite: Another type of filler used to improve facial structure and stimulate collagen production.
- Neuromodulators:
- Botulinum Toxin (Botox): It is injected into specific muscles to relax them, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as expression lines on the forehead and around the eyes.
- Biostimulators:
- Radiesse and Sculptra: These products not only add volume, but also stimulate collagen production, improving skin quality in the long term.
- Tensioning threads:
- PDO threads: These are inserted under the skin to lift and tighten specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks and jawline. The threads dissolve over time, stimulating collagen production.
- Chemical and Laser Peels:
- Chemical Peels: They use acids to exfoliate the superficial layers of the skin, improving its texture and tone.
- Laser Treatments: They help reduce spots, scars and wrinkles, promoting more even and rejuvenated skin.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Facial Harmonization
- Immediate and Natural Results: Most procedures offer visible results immediately or within a few days, with a natural appearance.
- Shorter Recovery Time: Unlike surgery, these treatments have minimal recovery time, allowing patients to return to their daily activities quickly.
- Personalization.: Treatments can be tailored to the specific needs and desires of each patient, achieving personalized results.
- Less Risks: Being less invasive procedures, the risks and complications are significantly lower compared to surgery.
Considerations and Care
- Consult with a Specialist: It is crucial to see a qualified professional to assess your specific needs and determine the best treatment plan.
- Post-Treatment Care: Following your specialist's instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and not engaging in intense physical activities immediately after treatment, is essential to obtain the best results and minimize possible side effects.
Conclusion
Non-surgical facial harmonization is an excellent option for those looking to improve their appearance without undergoing surgery. With a variety of treatments available, it is possible to achieve a more balanced, youthful and attractive face safely and effectively.
