Double action is much better than a pinpoint strike.To ensure that your program for skin transformation and rejuvenation is twice as effective, experts have selected 5 pairs of the best hardware, injection and plastic procedures that produce a real wow effect when working in a duet.
1. Phototherapy + fractional laser
The technique invented by doctors is called Photofractional and combines two sequential effects on the skin: IPL light (phototherapy) and fractional laser.Thanks to the influence of IPL light, it is possible to get rid of pigmentation (it often appears after sun exposure), and the fractional laser triggers the synthesis of collagen - thus, it is possible to restore skin fibers that are destroyed under the influence of UV rays.
The Photofractional procedure is quite aggressive: it gives the effect of a slightly sunburned face (redness, peeling).Mild swelling persists for 1-2 days.After a week, the peeling goes away, the skin becomes smoother, more even and reflects light well.
The combination of two different effects gives an impressive result after just one procedure.First, the skin is exposed to IPL light, but at parameters that are more gentle than those used for an independent phototherapy procedure (getting rid of age spots) - they are selected individually.Afterwards, anesthesia is applied and the skin is treated with a fractional laser.Phototherapy removes pigment, vascular mesh, whitens and gently stimulates collagen synthesis.The laser penetrates to a great depth and “spurs” the synthesis of new skin fibers.The final effect will be noticeable in 1-2 months.On average, it is necessary to do 1-3 procedures (the frequency varies from person to person) with a month interval between them.After the procedures, you should definitely protect your face with SPF creams.
2. Facial massage + botulinum toxin injections
Facial massage ─ manual or hardware ─ is one of those procedures that is appropriate to use to prevent age-related changes even at a fairly young age.It also gives a good effect when correcting already emerging age-related changes (pronounced nasolabial folds, “proud wrinkles” and longitudinal wrinkles in the forehead, “crow’s feet” in the eye area, loss of facial contours, double chin).Massage allows you to work and tone relaxed muscles or, conversely, relax tense ones.Due to this, we get the effect of reducing the severity of wrinkles and improving the oval of the face.The massage is done in a course (an average of 10 procedures, two per week), after which you can correct facial wrinkles using botulinum toxin injections.In this case, it will be possible to get by with a smaller amount of the drug and get a more pronounced result.
3. Fractional laser + PRP therapy
Fractional laser is one of the most popular and effective anti-aging procedures.This is a gentle but deep skin renewal using a laser, which allows you to reduce the depth of wrinkles, restore the skin's even color, smoothness and density, and launch the natural process of formation of fresh collagen and elastin.The operating principle of the device allows you to achieve this effect: a thin laser beam penetrates the skin to a given depth and forms therapeutic microdamages with a diameter of no more than 0.2 mm.This effect destroys old collagen and stimulates the formation of new cells responsible for the rapid restoration of damaged areas.It is due to this that the skin is tightened and its texture is improved.The fractional rejuvenation procedure can help if you notice sagging skin and fine wrinkles, you don’t like uneven complexion and enlarged pores, or you have age spots or post-acne scars.
Despite the short rehabilitation period after laser exposure, the full and final effect will appear after 3-5 sessions.At the same time, rejuvenation mechanisms are activated just a week after the first procedure (and will continue to intensify), and the effect lasts up to 1.5 years.
It is best to combine fractional laser procedures with PRP therapy - injections of your own blood plasma.Plasma contains platelets, which accelerate skin recovery after laser exposure.Plus, it also contains growth factors that additionally stimulate fibroblasts - cells that produce new collagen and elastin fibers.By combining these two procedures, you can get a more pronounced anti-aging effect.
4. Facial skin lifting + injections of fillers or auto fat
With the help of plastic surgery, you can achieve a lifting effect, but, unfortunately, it cannot completely get rid of wrinkles.After plastic surgery, for example, wrinkles around the mouth remain, as well as “puppet lines” (the so-called “sorrow lines”).In order to make them less noticeable, filler injections are used in the area of the nasolabial folds, lips, and cheekbones.An alternative to filler injections is the lipofilling procedure, when your own fat cells are used to fill the volume.They are taken with a syringe from certain areas of the body (abdomen, inner thighs, knees) and injected in small quantities into the desired area.This must be done very carefully, because the main task is to ensure that the fat cells adapt to the right place and take root.The advantage of lipofilling over filler injections is obvious: fillers need to be renewed every year, while fat cells remain in the injected area for years.Also, in the case of lipofilling, a possible allergic reaction that may occur to the injected fillers is excluded.
5. Blepharoplasty + laser procedures
To a greater extent, this combination will be appropriate for lower eyelid surgery, where the muscles are “soldered” to the skin and it is impossible to remove all its excess.That is why laser treatment of this area is indicated three weeks after surgery.The laser has a stimulating effect on the skin, thereby reducing it and activating the synthesis of new collagen and elastin - after which the skin thickens and becomes more elastic.One session may be enough for a pronounced effect.
Often this technique is used in cases where it is necessary to get rid of hernial sacs (this problem, by the way, can also bother quite young people).The operation to remove such hernias is performed transconjunctivally (through a small incision on the side of the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid), and after removing the fat bags, excess skin remains that needs to be tightened - for these purposes a laser is needed.
