In 2013, 23 million people worldwide underwent cosmetic treatments. With growth of over 10% per year forecast for the next ten years, today’s cosmetics market provides a real alternative to surgery.
In 2016, you do not need to go under the knife in order to touch up your face. Injection techniques developed by aesthetics specialists such as Dr Essayagh and Dr Carré enable us to rebalance the face’s profile from the forehead down to the chin, including the nose and the lips. This is a crucial topic, as profiloplasty deals with the middle part of the face (the profile) which is the cognitive part of the face, the part that interacts with others. It determines the posture and silhouette of the face.
FROM ANALYSIS TO MANUAL MORPHING
“After carefully analysing the different contours and angles – in particular those formed between the forehead and the nose, the nose and the upper lip, and the position of the chin with regard to the vertical root of the nose -, the face is meticulously scrutinised using ¾-view and profile photos, both static and in movement, to assess how the face looks as it performs the various expressions. This enables the doctor to carry out a manual morphing using “c” clay in order to simulate the new shape of the area that will be injected with hyaluronic acid to recreate the missing volumes.
It is only after we have the patient’s authorisation that the volumetric treatment can be carried out using various different hyaluronic acids, depending on the lifting effect desired and the tissue distribution, such as Restylane Defyne, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Kyss, Restylane Refyne, and Restylane Skinboosters. Very little product is needed to considerably alter the patient’s profile. Furthermore, the cost of the treatment is very reasonable compared with a surgical procedure. And the results can last from 12 to 16 months, according to the areas injected.” Dr Eric Essayagh.
