Recent advances in aesthetic treatments for the body and face offer very effective results for the late spring and summer, in addition to procedures that can be performed safely all year around.
Before discussing these procedures, let’s look at the impact age has on the appearance of the skin. As we get older, the natural layer of collagen gradually breaks down making our skin start to sag. As a result, wrinkles and spots appear, and the skin loses its shine, glow and elasticity. The good news is that there are now treatments to counter these problems for a more youthful look.
Treatments that can be performed all year, including summer:
– Dermal and volumizing fillers: Pluryal® fillers for facial rejuvenation contain biodegradable hyaluronic acid, which not only mitigate lines, wrinkles and furrows, but also restore volume to the cheeks, nose and chin. The procedure can be done at ANY time of the year for people of ANY age. Injecting 2-3 cc of Pluryal® Volume at specific points creates a more youthful look by restoring the lost volume and smoothing out wrinkles and lines. The results are immediate and the simple procedure usually only takes half an hour.
– Skin boosters: the next step is to moisturize the skin, especially dry areas such as around the lips. For this, the practitioner uses Pluryal® Booster to deeply hydrate the skin affected by sun exposure, seawater and chlorine. The protocol involves repeating the procedure 3 times at 3-week intervals to restore the skin’s glow, elasticity and plumpness. You can also top up the results by adding 3-4 sessions of Pluryal® meso – Revitalizing or Tightening depending on the age of the patient – to provide a total skin repair program based on BIOFACT technology combining hyaluronic acid and amino acids. Studies have proven that amino acids stimulate the synthesis of collagen, which is very useful in restoring the skin’s youthful appearance.
Treatments that can be performed before or at the end of summer:
– Lightening mesotherapy: Exposure to the sun can provoke the appearance of pigmented spots. To treat uneven color, Mesoline® Shine lightens and homogenizes the skin using ascorbic acid for cellular renewal and tyrosinase inhibitors.
– Cellulite and fat dissolution treatments: Although many greet swimsuit season with a smile, others feel very insecure about their body, particularly localized fat and cellulite. But, now, it is possible to fight them. Mesoline® Slim, which contains phosphatidylcholine 5% and deoxycholic acid 2.4% in a 2:1 formula, is the most effective way to eliminate local fat. This pain-free treatment offers patients visible results within just a few weeks. It is also important to combat cellulite, refine body contours and tighten skin to restore patient confidence. This can be achieved with Mesoline® Bodyfirm, which uses a lipolytic complex, a draining complex and silicium organica to reduce cellulite and sagging. This kind of mesotherapy treatment also improves blood circulation to further reduce the problem.
Finally, potent home-use cosmetics are ideal for optimizing and maintaining the results of aesthetic medical procedures. For example, Pluryal® skincare is designed to purify, correct, hydrate, stimulate, protect and cover the skin through a full range of day and night products.
