The first signs of age appear on the face after the age of 25. This happens because the skin no longer receives the necessary amounts of moisture to maintain elasticity. Hyaluronic acid, independently produced by cells, becomes insufficient, leading to skin laxity and wrinkles. The modern beauty industry has found several ways to fight aging. One of them is facial contouring.
Facial contouring is a non-surgical method to rejuvenate facial skin via injections. Its main task is to remove expression lines, age wrinkles, and restore definition to the facial oval.
The cosmetologist chooses the sites of future injections and products depending on the goals of correction. Gels based on natural or synthetic components are used as fillers in facial contouring. The basis of most fillers is hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, or polylactic acid. Once under the skin, they contribute to moisturization and oxygenation. They also activate processes in the subcutaneous tissue, spurring the production of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. With the help of these fillers, the specialist also fills the empty spaces under the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and folds. The most highly effective means to date are fillers based on hyaluronic acid, such as:
– Belotero;
– Teosyal;
– Juvederm;
– Pluryal and others.
