Everyone dreams of having firm, flawless, glowing skin and a radiant complexion free from wrinkles, lines and other flaws such as broken vessels or pigmentary changes. But real life is different. Our skin is prone to irregularities, stubborn breakouts and imperfections. It often has a dull yet shiny appearance, an uneven texture, dilated pores and blemishes.
The need for interventions in the aesthetic medical field is therefore significant. By combining aesthetic procedures intelligently, we can turn back the clock to re-build younger-looking healthy skin.
When evaluating current trends in treatment concepts, there is a clear tendency towards a “retro” approach that takes us back to easy-to-perform, non-invasive, low-investment procedures. Over time, these treatments have been well defined to become more targeted, safer and more effective. Moreover, we now have access to more clinical data that is vital in the aesthetic field, which relies on evidence-based clinical studies. The key to these more mature concepts is without doubt combination.
The treatment concept the author uses for facial skin regeneration is based on an indication-specific approach: The Indication-Specific Face Concept. The fundamental rule for any treatment is firstly to identify and then define the indication. Typical indications are dull skin and pigmentary changes. Therapeutic options to regenerate the skin and regulate skin pigmentation are based on easy-to-perform, non- or minimally-invasive procedures and include topicals such as cosmeceuticals, topical prescription drugs, mesotherapy and microneedling, which is very effective in the transdermal delivery of specific actives. All these treatment are administered according to the patient’s needs using combinations of individually adapted protocols.
The Indication-Specific Face Concept seems to be ideal for rejuvenating skin in an effective and targeted way. Common indications such as dull skin can be regenerated and pigmentary changes can be regulated. This indication-specific approach is based on combining easy-to-perform, non-invasiveness treatments.
