If the face reflects both our emotions and our personality, it is also the mirror of age. The reason is that his cells age over the years. The skin loses its elastin as well as its collagen, two proteins necessary for its hydration and maintenance. As a result, the skin sags more and more, allowing wrinkles to appear. There are, however, a whole range of options to treat these and prevent them from making you look so tired and gloomy. Here we present some of them to help you choose the one that suits you best.
Facelift to redesign your face
Wishing to regain visibly fresher, younger and smoother skin, many people have recourse to a facelift, also called a rhytidectomy. It is a surgical procedure for aesthetic purposes which consists of lifting the loose and sagging tissues over time to correct the sagging of the skin and, therefore, redraw the face. Depending on the part of the face you wish to treat, you have the choice between several types of facelift.
We first note the cervico-facial lifting which mainly concerns the neck as well as the oval of the face. It aims more specifically to tighten the neck and lift the jowls. Surgeons frequently use liposuction when performing it. The temporo-frontal facelift is the rhytidectomy which targets all of the brows and forehead. However, this type of intervention is almost no longer practiced today.
On the other hand, the temporal lift is very common and consists of tightening the tail of the eyebrow, that is to say the area from the temple to the eyebrow. As for the malar lift, it aims to rejuvenate the central part of the face by repositioning the cheekbones, filling in dark circles and lifting the upper part of the nasolabial fold. Apart from all this, there is also the mini-facelift which is similar to the cervico-facial rhytidectomy, except that it is gentle and less invasive.
Insofar as the facelift is performed by an experienced surgeon, it allows obtaininga more realistic and durable rendering over several years. Then, due to technological advances, the post-operative consequences can be easily managed and healing speeds up. The scars left by the surgeon are also minor and fade over the course of healing.
Focus on botox injections to reduce wrinkles
To treat expression lines, an intervention for an injection of botox, also called botulinum toxin, is particularly effective. This biological filler helps reduce without surgery:
- horizontal wrinkles on the forehead,
- frown lines or glabellar lines in the area between the eyebrows,
- crow’s feet wrinkles at the outer corner of the eyes.
To know that the injection of botox is a simple aesthetic treatment to perform and is practiced directly to the surgeon’s office. It lasts regarding ten minutes and patients can resume their usual activities at the end of the session. It aims more precisely to temporarily rest the muscles of the treated part of the face. The injected botulinum toxin will block the transmission between the latter and the neurons. The targeted muscles will no longer contract and wrinkles are erased. As long as the dose of botox injected is adequate, the rendering thus obtained is as harmonious as it is natural.
This is why, if you want to treat your expression lines, you should only trust a seasoned and experienced surgeon. This first takes care of the result you are looking for. Then, he carefully analyzes the shape of your face and ensures that you have no contraindications to the injection of botulinum toxin. If you are eligible for the latter, then your surgeon can proceed by ensuring that everything goes well and that the result is as natural as possible. Be aware, however, that the results of the treatment are not immediate. In general, the first effects of botox appear from 3 days following the injection. You have to wait for regarding ten days before the results reach their maximum level.
Blepharoplasty for a youthful look on your eyes
The first signs of aging most often appear around the eyes. Fortunately, it is possible to remedy such an inconvenience thanks to blepharoplasty. It is a surgical procedure to rejuvenate the look by correcting
- drooping eyelids,
- fatty pockets under the eyes,
- sagging skin on the lower eyelids,
- the sagging of the tail of the eyebrow.
It can benefit people of all ages, especially since its effect is permanent. It should be noted that blepharoplasty does not allow the rectification of hollowed internal corners and colored/hollow rings. In these specific cases, the surgeon offers patients a deep injection of hyaluronic acid. This allows you to remove the shaded appearance of dark circles.
Eyelid surgery is performed in the majority of cases under general anesthesia. and lasts between 60 and 120 minutes. Its planning is done through two preoperative consultations. During the first, your surgeon takes your request into consideration. Then comes the clinical examination of your eyelids and the choice of actions to perform to correct them. During the second, the practitioner takes preoperative photographs and is available to answer all your questions.
Blepharoplasty is painless, but swelling and bruising may appear in the first days following the operation. As for the scars, they are in the palpebral fold (upper eyelid surgery), under the eyelashes (removal of excess skin from the lower eyelids) or inside the lower eyelids (removal of puffiness fats).
Hyaluronic acid, what is it?
The injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) makes it possible to fill in a natural way wrinkles as well as the folds of bitterness and the nasolabial folds. It is also possible to use it to redefine the lips, the perimeter tends to wrinkle and become thinner. The optimal result is only visible following 30 days for the filling of wrinkles. If one acts on the lips, the effect of the treatment is combined only following the disappearance of the oedema, that is to say 2 to 3 days following the intervention.
When we speak of AH, we are referring to a substance naturally present in the body. It acts like a sponge, capturing water and keeping it in the deep layers of the skin, which allows the intercellular spaces to be filled. Thus, it guarantees both hydration and the plumped appearance, softness and elasticity of the skin.
The body generates regarding 5 g of HA daily. However, this quantity decreases over time, thus gradually impairing the quality of the skin. The injection of HA under the skin therefore makes it possible to compensate for this drop in production. The hyaluronic acid used here is a synthetic product in the form of a gel. It comes from biotechnology processes. Once injected, it mixes with the HA already present in the body to fill in wrinkles and smooth fine lines.
It is possible to opt for the injection of hyaluronic acid as soon as the first wrinkles appear. This treatment can also be used as a preventive measure; it delays the appearance of the signs of aging. In this case, the surgeon uses a particularly fine HA and injects it using the mesotherapy method. Note that a session generally lasts between 20 and 30 minutes. As for the results, they are visible for 6 to 12 months depending on the HA gel injected and the part of the face treated. That said, it is necessary to regularly renew the treatment for a lasting effect.
