Over time, and the influence of solar radiation, the skin becomes thinner, hollows appear under the eyes and on the cheeks, and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth deepen. We also have a loss of volume from the cheekbones and a decrease in the volume of the lips. The face “falls” downwards and the corner of the jaw is no longer “clean” but creates bulges on the sides of the mouth and a crooked face.
The classic method of treatment is the face and neck lift, but a large percentage of patients who face these very frequent problems, either for personal reasons or because of medical contraindications, cannot undergo the above operations. Also, in many cases the relaxation is not such that the patient immediately needs to undergo an operation, but he definitely needs a treatment of the problems that have started to appear.
Initially, the treatment with Botox on the forehead and the sides of the eyes as well as along the curve of the jaw and the intense bands of the platysma results in lifting the face, a rested look and a younger appearance.
It is combined with filling the wrinkles on the sides of the mouth, replenishing the lost volume of the lips, especially the upper lip, and softening the smoker’s wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid is then used to replenish the lost volume in the cheekbones and along the angle of the jaw, resulting in the face “rising”.
In the battle against relaxation, tightening treatments that enhance the production of collagen and elastin in the skin like Pelleve and hydration treatments to eliminate fine wrinkles on the face and neck come to help us, either in the form of autologous mesotherapy (Tray life) or heterologous mesotherapy using hyaluronic acid and vitamins.
These treatments have the effect of improving the quality of the skin and reversing the sagging that occurs with age and the effect of solar radiation on the skin of the face, neck and décolleté. Of course it does not replace the surgical Lift, but it is an excellent method of significant improvement of the specific problems and with the necessary repetition it has very satisfactory results.
