There are several non-invasive methods available that can combat skin aging and dehydration, repair the collapse of certain parts of the face and erase wrinkles. We take a closer look at these techniques with Dr Véronique Emmenegger, Medical Director of the Clinic Lémanic (Lausanne) and specialist in Preventative, Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Medicine.
Erase wrinkles and regenerate the skin
In order to achieve optimum results, it is important to adopt an approach that respects and enhances not only the patient’s physique but also their personality: facial expressions, smile and eyes. The injection of new generation substances is an effective solution, providing personalised treatment and a natural-looking result. This is particularly the case for hyaluronic acid, which is ideal for filling the nasolabial folds (around the nostrils) and marionette lines, which stretch down from the corner of the mouth towards the chin. Similarly, botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, is perfect for relaxing the facial muscles and reducing wrinkles such as forehead lines and crow’s feet.
Improving the skin quality
The use of light has proven effective in facial rejuvenation. The innovative photobiomodulation technique (low level light therapy) uses the light emitted from LED technology to treat fine lines, wrinkles, a dull complexion, skin flaws and dehydration. This natural method, which is pain-free and UV-free, significantly improves the skin quality in just a few sessions.
Redefining volumes
Certain areas of the face tend to hollow out or become more marked with age. In order to restore the volumes in these areas in a balanced way, it is important to carefully position the entry point for injecting the filler product.
The reinjection of autologous fat, harvested from the patient (for example, during liposuction), can be used to restore volumes in the cheeks and cheekbones, to correct deep hollows in the facial volumes, and to plump the lips. It can also be used to restructure a severely aged face with sagging skin, or to reshape the back of thinning hands.
Redefining the oval of the face
The HAUTE COUTURE concept offers a veritable lift without surgery, thanks to its regenerative threads with a firming and rejuvenating effect that smooth the contours of the face and décolletage. This technique is recommended for fine skin and has excellent potential for reshaping and refining the lower part of the face, particularly if the skin has superficial textural flaws (irregularities) or pigmentation issues (dyschromia).
Associating techniques such as autologous plasma and photobiomodulation enables us to homogenise the biological rejuvenation and tissue bio-stimulation processes by stimulating the skin’s natural synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
Result: redefined contours and skin that looks lifted, firmed and plumped immediately after treatment.
