Aging is a natural process, which continuously
leaves deeper and more obvious traces on the human body. The signs of aging on
the face are usually the most noticeable, so wrinkles and furrows on the face
and neck bother us the most. Therefore, modern medicine, and especially
cosmetic surgery, has developed special methods and techniques with the aim of
erasing or alleviating the signs of aging.
How old is the face?
There are three main components of facial aging,
and an experienced cosmetic surgeon can offer a solution to correct all
components.
Relaxed, drooping skin
The first component is facial
aging caused by sagging, sagging skin and other tissues resulting in excess
skin on the neck and lower face. These are structural changes, and the only
solution for correction is surgery such as a facelift - tightening the skin of
the face and neck. This procedure achieves a younger, fresher look that lasts
for years and leaves no visible traces of surgery, provided it is performed by
an experienced cosmetic surgeon.
Other cosmetic surgeries that address structural
changes in the face are: mini facelift, forehead lift and eyelid correction.
The advantages of these procedures are the longevity of the results, a younger
and healthier appearance of the person.
Occurrence of voids, depressions and furrows
Another component of aging is volume loss. It is
the loss of adipose tissue from the face, which causes the appearance of gaps,
dents and furrows. Gaps appear around the eyes, lips, cheeks and under the
cheeks. These areas are corrected by using dermal fillers - skin fillers based
on hyaluronic acid and the application of the patient's own adipose tissue or
implant placement. For wrinkles and furrows that appear in people with
pronounced facial expressions and facial expressions around the eyes, treatment
with botox or botulinum toxin is recommended, the results of which last 4-6
months. The durability of dermal fillers is from 6 to 12 months, adipose tissue
remains at the site of application for up to several years, while implants are
permanent.
Treatment of streaks and wrinkles
all over the face
The third component of aging, which is also the
most difficult in the facial area, involves changes in skin texture. These
changes cut into the skin and cause thinning of the skin due to collagen loss,
micro-scars due to repeated muscle movements and due to sun exposure.
For the treatment of facial
texture, ie the removal of wrinkles all over the face, wrinkles around the eyes
and for the correction of hyperpigmentation and age spots, the most effective
medical treatment is chemical peeling. The goal of this procedure is to correct
the texture of the face - which cannot be surgically removed. Deep chemical
peeling is a procedure of removing the surface layer of the skin with chemical
agents, and it is also the only procedure in which chemical compounds, in
addition to removing wrinkles, stimulate the production of collagen in the
skin. Therefore, the effect of facial rejuvenation is significant and lasting,
and a look up to 10 years younger is achieved. Damaged, aged skin disappears
and patients get new, smoother shiny and healthier skin.
