Over time, as we age, we see sagging skin, wrinkles, and a decrease in the brightness of the skin due to inevitable factors such as changes in the amount of fat and collagen in the skin tissue, the negative effects of sunlight, and gravity. If there are external factors such as stress, insomnia, fatigue and poor nutrition, the deterioration of the skin structure inevitably accelerates.
Is non-surgical skin rejuvenation possible?
With the help of medical aesthetic techniques, medication, It has become completely possible, especially with the rapid development of products and technology in recent years and the ease of applicability.
So what are these methods?
Spider web, filler, botox, grp (growth factor rich plasma), mesotherapy-mesolifting, carbon dioxide Fractional Laser, focused ultrasound, ozone therapy are among the main treatments that are reliable and do not affect the daily life of the patient. The duration of effect of these methods and the reasons for their use vary, and are decided according to their suitability for the person, the expected response and the season. These methods can be used regardless of gender, and the priority preference and dosage may vary depending on age group and gender.
Can you talk about these methods in some detail?
Spider web- Thread tightening is the placement of threads produced in flat or hairy structures called PDO, similar to surgical threads placed in very thin needles or cannulas, by calculating the threads according to the sagging condition on the person's face, the appropriate locations of the threads in the skin layers and the appearance we aim for. You can already feel the face tightening and tightening during the procedure. This process is followed by the threads settling in place and collecting collagen around them, resulting in fibrosis (adhesion, adhesion to surrounding tissues), which is the main reason for the permanence of this process. It is a method that allows you to return to daily life quickly, with local anesthesia in just 30 minutes, without the risk of allergies, with the precautions to be taken, and has a lifespan of 2 years. Thanks to this method, which minimizes discomfort and pain, without general anesthesia and without being exposed to possible surgical complications, you can have a tighter, younger appearance quickly and easily. Pain, redness, swelling or bruising that may occur will be resolved on the same day as the supported treatment. or it regresses within 2-3 days. Precautions such as not rubbing the face of the patient, not lying face down for 3 weeks, avoiding environments such as hot water and sauna, and protecting the face from the sun will result in the treatment in the best way without encountering any negativities.
Filling, It is a method of filling the areas of skin that have lost volume for various reasons, such as between the lips and nose, between the eyebrows, above and below the lips, and the chin, which we call nasolabial, which we see on our face not only with aging but also with the use of repetitive facial expressions, and their hollowing. The point to be considered here is to choose the product with the appropriate molecular weight according to the skin area to be worked on and to know the correct layer of skin layers to place the product on. It is one of the most requested methods. We most frequently apply it to the outer edges of the eyes, which are described as sagging between the eyebrows, forehead, and crow's feet lines, as a result of the decrease in skin tension with aging, wrinkles, and weakening of muscle strength due to the repetitive use of facial muscles. We also benefit from other uses of Botox, such as relieving and thinning the asymmetry that we want to beautify the smile, such as the upper teeth being more forward and visible when smiling, and the growing muscle in the jaw, which we call hypertrophy, in those who sleep with their jaw clenched.
Grp, It is a method that provides more effective treatment for all age groups, without some blood-related diseases (hemophilia, clotting problems, cancer, etc.), with the help of plasma (PRP) activators obtained by centrifuging 10 cc of blood taken from the person. We prefer GRP for many reasons such as areas with sagging wrinkles, acne scars, skin blemishes, stretch mark treatment, and hair loss. With local anesthesia applied to the skin, only very slight pain can be felt during the needle insertion. Since there are no additives in the injection, it does not pose a risk of allergic reaction.
Mesolifting-MESOTHERAPY increases the production of collagen and diamond in the skin, renews the skin, tightens it, reduces sagging and gives the skin a brighter appearance. It has an effect. In this treatment, the MESOTHERAPY drugs needed by the person's skin are drawn into microinjectors in combinations and doses determined by the specialist physician and applied to the patient. The patient can continue daily life immediately after treatment. The frequency and repetition of sessions are decided according to the patient's needs in order to obtain satisfactory results. Facial rejuvenation with CO2 fractional laser is based on the principle of complete scanning of the skin with laser beams, thereby increasing collagen production under the skin, renewing the connective tissue and creating micro wounds and crusts on the skin, ensuring slow and healthy shedding of the skin. In this treatment, which takes 20-30 minutes, the session frequency and interval are decided according to the patient. Healing continues for 2-3 weeks after the treatment and the patient continues to see the effects of this method for 12-18 months. As with other procedures performed with laser, the sun, solarium, hot environment, hot shower should be avoided for 1 week, and one should never go out without sunscreen that is suitable and can provide adequate protection for the skin
Focused ultrasound uses the sound waves of ultrasound. It can transmit even to the lowest layer of the skin, thus allowing us to have a tighter skin by increasing the skin's collagen production. It is applied to crow's feet, sagging chin, sagging eyelids, sagging jowls, sagging on the cheeks, in short, sagging that occurs all over our face. The duration of the procedure varies depending on the work done in the area. While it is approximately 20 minutes around the eyes, it can take up to 45 minutes on the neck. After the procedure, the facial treatment process will begin immediately. As the day goes by, stretching and shining effects will be felt on the skin. The results will be clearly visible within 3-6 months, depending on the skin type, and its effect will continue for up to 2 years.
Ozone therapy uses active ozone gas to strengthen the immune system, improve blood flow to cells and tissues. It is used to accelerate circulation, increase resistance to infectious diseases and provide treatment for infection, wound healing, skin diseases and many chronic diseases. This method, known as "blood washing" as the Germans call it, is a safe, effective, multi-purpose scientific application. Major method, minor method, subcutaneous, body cavities, intra-joint administration and By using ozonated products, the body is provided with ozone. In the major method, 50-200 ml of blood taken from the patient is mixed with ozone and given back to the patient. With the minor method, 2 to 5 cc of blood is taken and ozonated and injected into the muscle. With the method called silence, ozone gas in a determined dose volume is injected under the skin by choosing a needle appropriate to the area to be used. By administering ozone subcutaneously to the face for non-surgical facial rejuvenation, we aim to increase skin ventilation, remove adhesions, and burn aged, hardened fat tissue. Ozone accelerates wound healing and its anti-infection effects enable the face to have a cleaner, renewed, softer and younger appearance.
What should be taken into consideration when choosing methods?
These methods are used regardless of gender. What is important is the patient's skin structure, skin history, skin age and the skin's needs accordingly, and it is necessary to organize the treatment protocol by paying attention to the patient's expectations. The main goal should be to improve the substructure of the patient's skin and eliminate the defects or deficiencies manifested in the upper layers. In this way, the results are aimed to be satisfactory and to prolong their permanence.
What advice would you give to patients who want to have the procedure?
They should always cooperate with medical aesthetic physicians, and the treatment is a process. They act by accepting what they are. It should be kept in mind that the treatment method will vary from person to person and the response received from the person's skin may cause some differences. There are recommendations we give to patients after the procedure regarding each method, and it is essential to follow them for their own healing process and to prevent the problem from recurring. Apart from that, let's not forget to protect ourselves from the sun, consume enough water, and pay attention to our diet for good skin in our daily lives.
