At Christmas, people always think about gifts for others, hardly ever about themselves. But why not? now is the time to treat yourself to something special, now is the time to shine and feel younger at Christmas parties and festivities. Aesthetic medicine offers more and more cutting-edge treatments for skin care and to combat the appearance of wrinkles. Here then is a list of the best possible treatments, each with its own characteristics.

Biorevitalisation

Bio-revititalisation is a facial treatment that prevents and counteracts the natural ageing of the skin by stimulating the production of fibroblasts and thus giving the skin deep hydration. The result is a firmer, healthier and more hydrated skin.

The treatable areas are the face, neck and décolleté. The treatment takes only a few minutes and the result is noticeable after 4 to 6 applications, depending on the skin type.

Botulinum toxin

sometimes facial expressions take over and result in deep, unsightly wrinkles on the face, sometimes giving an angry or sad appearance. In these cases, botulinum toxin, the treatment par excellence for expression lines, can come to our aid. The toxin, injected into the muscles, interacts with acetylcholine release, causing a transient flaccid paralysis. It thus becomes particularly useful for blocking those mimic muscles that lead to the appearance of unsightly expression lines.

The most commonly treated areas are: frontal wrinkles, interciliary, around the eyes, wrinkles and furrows between the eyebrows, expression lines. The treatment lasts only a few days and the result is appreciable after a few days. It lasts about 4-5 months, after which there is a slow resumption of muscle activity and consequently the reappearance of wrinkles.

Filler with hyaluronic acid

For wrinkles that are not related to facial expressions, the standard treatment is a hyaluronicacid filler. Hyaluronic acid is normally present in connective tissue and the purpose of the treatment is to replenish the missing portion in facial wrinkles. In addition to being a formidable filler, the injected hyaluronic acid binds with the water molecules present in the connective tissue, creating a pleasant moisturising effect on the tissues with a consequent improvement in their quality. The treatment is absolutely safe as hyaluronic acid is compatible and reabsorbable by the body.

The most commonly treated areas are: localised cheek wrinkles, perioral wrinkles, lachrymal grooves, nasojugal grooves, poorly pronounced cheekbones, lip augmentation. The treatment lasts only a few minutes and the result can be appreciated immediately after the infiltration. The effect is temporary but long-lasting (6-9 months).

Non-surgical lifting with wires

The non-surgical lifting with threads is a technological innovation that offers women a simple treatment that can give the face a redefined appearance, with increased volume and reduced wrinkles thanks to a minimally invasive outpatient procedure lasting only 30 minutes. The SILHOUETTE SOFT® used for the treatment are threads made of polylactic material, a synthetic polymer that is biocompatible, immunologically inert and completely resorbable. The treatment allows two combined actions: an immediate lifting effect thanks to the threads that allow the treated area to be redesigned, and a gradual natural regenerating effect thanks to the natural stimulation of the dermis with collagen production.

The recommended areas are: facial contour, jaw, cheeks and cheekbones, eyebrows. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. The insertion of the threads does not require any skin incisions. The result is immediate, although the definitive result will be appreciable after about 1-2 weeks.

Med visage

Med visage is an innovative system that uses the action of ultrasound to stimulate the growth of new collagen, producing a natural lifting effect. The treatment immediately improves skin texture, tone and radiance by stimulating the cellular mechanism responsible for the skin's reparative and regenerative process.

The treatment is absolutely painless and pleasant with a duration of about 1 hour. The result is noticeable after 2 to 4 applications, depending on the skin type.
