Fillers with hyaluronic acid are injected subcutaneously with the thinnest needles at intervals of 1-1.5 cm. The entire face or separately selected areas are exposed to the impact. To eliminate deep creases and wrinkles, the drug is injected directly into the fold, filling and pushing it out. In the area of ​​the lips or the oval of the face, the drug is administered along the contour.

Contour plastic is a low-traumatic technique that does not cause excessive pain. Some patients experience discomfort when large volumes of biphasic fillers are injected under the skin. In this case, local anesthesia is performed.

Contouring is a modern method of eliminating natural age-related changes in the skin with the help of special preparations called fillers (or dermal fillers). The basis of almost all fillers is hyaluronic acid. In terms of consistency, dermal fillers are closest to gels.

Contouring is carried out with fillers using precise injections to smooth out wrinkles, restore the skin of the face and neck to its former elasticity, get rid of the so-called bags under the eyes and model the shape of the lips.

In the centers of laser and aesthetic medicine "Laser Doctor" only original certified preparations approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation are used. And all specialists have the necessary experience and qualifications. In addition, clinic doctors are certified by Juvederm and Surgiderm.

In what cases will contour plastic help?

Facial contouring with fillers will be shown in the following cases:

• Downturned corners of the lips.
• Fuzzy oval face.
• Interbrow or horizontal wrinkles.
• The need to adjust the volume and contours of the lips or cheekbones.
• Deep nasolabial or nasolabial grooves.
• The so-called crow's feet and other changes around the eyes associated with age.

It is also worth noting that contour plastic surgery can be indicated if there are noticeable wrinkles on the neck.

Hyaluronic acid is considered absolutely safe for humans, since this substance is synthesized by the cells of our body. Therefore, preparations based on it practically do not cause allergic reactions.

The introduction of fillers allows you to achieve the desired result in just one procedure. In this case, the result will be noticeable immediately after the session of contouring.

What to consider when choosing a filler for facial contouring

The doctor selects the most optimal filler during the preliminary consultation. The choice will depend not only on the patient's skin type, but also on the injection site and the problem being treated. At the same time, fillers practically do not differ in composition, having only a different consistency:

• To get rid of "crow's feet" and other small wrinkles in the eye area, soft fillers are perfect;
• To correct the volume and contour of the lips, preparations of medium consistency are used;
• To restore the contour of the chin, get rid of deep wrinkles, increase the volume of the cheekbones, cheeks and temples, the most dense fillers are used.

The effectiveness of contouring depends not only on the drug chosen, but also on the qualifications and experience of the doctor performing the procedure. To achieve the maximum effect from contouring, the specialist must inject the drug to a certain depth. After all, if the doctor injects the filler incorrectly, the drug will quickly dissolve, and the result will last a very short time. In addition, if the filler is injected incorrectly, it can lie in ugly tubercles. That is why the introduction of dermal fillers should only be handled by professionals.

Unlike plastic surgery, contouring does not radically change the appearance, only improving facial features. After a certain time, the fillers will dissolve and be removed from the body naturally. After that, the procedure can be repeated.

The network of laser and aesthetic medicine centers "Laser Doctor" uses only original drugs that have permission from the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation: Surgiderm and Juvederm of various types and volumes. Therefore, at a consultation with a doctor, you can easily choose a drug to solve your particular problem.

In the clinic "Laser Doctor" you can sign up for a preliminary consultation with a doctor and learn all the details about the procedure. You can make an appointment both by phone and through the online form on the clinic's website. Here you can also get acquainted with all ongoing promotions and see before and after photos to see the effect that can be achieved by the procedure. Also on the site there are many reviews from patients who have chosen contour plastic surgery and were very pleased with the result. In addition, on the site you can find prices for preparations for contouring.

Contour plastic- a relatively new technique that allows you to eliminate wrinkles without surgical operations, tighten the skin, improve the relief of the face, in a word, restore youth and beauty. The method of this procedure consists in the use of specially designed intradermal preparations that instantly remove defects, making the skin supple and elastic.

Pros and cons of contour plastics

The advantage of this technique over other correction methods is as follows:

Most often, contour correction is used in various areas of the face:

Preparations for injection

In modern clinics, there are more than a dozen drugs - fillers for contouring. According to the composition of the material used, we can distinguish:

• synthetic (carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene oxide, polypropylene);
• collagen, created on the basis of the main component of the skin;
• fillers based on hyaluronic acid, both of animal origin and with the use of biological technologies;
• combined from various substances in combination with hyaluronic acid or collagen, as well as created from two synthetic materials with different properties.

According to the duration of action, injections are divided into three groups:

• temporary, the duration of which is from two months to a year;
• prolonged, with a period of validity up to two years;
• long-term or permanent, lasting five years or more.

It is believed that the use of long-acting fillers is necessary only for patients with traumatic skin lesions. Substances for injection in this case are made on the basis of hyaluronic acid. It is able to rejuvenate the skin for up to one and a half years. The drug is gradually eliminated during this period and the injection must be repeated.

The main part of hyaluronic acid, which is in the human body, is dispersed precisely in the skin, fills it with moisture, tones, and gives elasticity. Therefore, the composition of such injections is closest to the natural components of the skin. Fillers made on the basis of hyaluronic acid are non-toxic, have almost zero allergenicity, easily come into contact with body tissues, contain the natural hormone of youth and are absolutely safe.

As a rule, in the basket of a specialist engaged in contouring, there are a number of preparations of different directions. This is determined by the fact that the cosmetologist is faced with the solution of many tasks that require, respectively, different fillers. The choice of a specific type of injection is made by a cosmetologist, depending on the desired result of the correction.

Carrying out the procedure

1. Before the operation for contour plastic surgery, a consultation with a doctor is required. The cosmetologist determines the type of skin, the condition of the vessels, the presence of contraindications. The patient is obliged to tell the doctor about the existing diseases and previous plastic surgeries. When choosing the composition of the injection, the doctor takes into account the wishes of the patient, the severity and location of skin defects, the age and gender characteristics of the client, determines the depth and volume of the injection. Based on the data obtained, the patient is offered the most suitable method and composition for injection, all its advantages and imperfections are explained. For any intervention by a doctor, written permission from the patient must be obtained. In the patient's card, the places for punctures are indicated without fail, the name, series, doses and expiration date of the administered drug are prescribed. When anesthesia is used, the name of the anesthetic is also written on the card.
2. The operation begins with an antiseptic treatment of the skin, then anesthesia is used, which is most often carried out with the use of skin cooling at the puncture site or the application of an anesthetic cream. Different fillers have their own options for administration, as a rule, either intradermal or subcutaneous injections are made. Most often, transdermal access is used, that is, the introduction of a needle occurs through the skin in the defect zone or near it. Transoral access through the oral cavity helps to avoid trauma to the skin with a needle, but is rarely used. In contouring, syringes with pointed miniature needles are most often used, sometimes cannulas with blunt ends. The syringe with filler must be sterile packed and used in one session. For the procedure, depending on the required volume, the desired packaging is selected.
3. The procedure is the introduction of a needle with a therapeutic composition strictly under each wrinkle. The depth of injection of the substance under the skin depends on the severity of the defect and usually ranges from 1.6 to 2.8 mm.
4. After the injection, the area to be corrected is disinfected, then slightly kneaded to match the line of the surrounding tissues. If there are signs of excess corrective material, the massage may be more vigorous. To avoid swelling and bruising, it is possible to apply cooling to the area where the plastic was performed.

The total duration of a contouring session is from forty minutes to two hours. The duration depends on the problems being solved.

Pain during the operation is minimized, after two hours the client can return to his usual way of life. There may be slight redness on the face, which disappear very quickly. The absence of a rehabilitation period plays a big role in the dynamic life of a modern person.

The result of the plasty appears instantly: the metabolic processes at the cell level are restored, the skin becomes smooth and toned.

As with any surgical intervention, the preparation of a contour plastic surgery must be taken seriously:

1. First, for several weeks, you need to stop using anticoagulants.
2. Secondly, in the presence of allergic reactions, it is necessary to conduct test samples for the filler planned for injection.
3. Thirdly, if, according to the doctor's prescription, for preventive purposes, it is necessary to take antiviral and other medicines.
4. And, finally, on the eve of the operation, a strict rejection of alcohol, sports and any other physical activity is necessary.

After the corrective procedure, the following rules must be observed within a month.

On the first day:

• do not touch the correction zones with your hands;
• do not perform any cosmetic procedures;
• do not apply decorative cosmetics to plastic areas;
• protect from exposure to water;
• avoid excessive activity of facial expressions;
• when correcting the face, it is desirable to sleep on the back for the first time;

Over the next four days:

• continue not to take blood-thinning substances;
• sports and physical activity remain under the restriction;
• massage is prohibited in the area of ​​\u200b\u200badministration of drugs;
• do not remove the crusts formed at the puncture sites;

In two weeks:

• a ban on visiting the bath, taking hot baths;

Within one month:

• a ban on visiting the solarium, treatment areas unprotected by clothing before leaving the house with products with an SPF of 20 units and above;
• use the medicines prescribed by the doctor.

Result and effect of the procedure

The first results of the procedure are noticeable instantly, the skin immediately becomes younger for several years:

• wrinkles of the bridge of the nose and forehead are smoothed;
• cheekbones acquire a clear contour;
• the lowered corners of the mouth rise, the so-called wrinkles of sorrow disappear;
• increases the volume and improves the contour of the lips;
• the nasolabial fold becomes less noticeable;
• keloid scars disappear;
• the line of the nose is corrected;
• the chin line is modeled.

The result of the procedure lasts for several months, sometimes even years. The duration depends on the drug, the number of sessions performed, as well as on the characteristics of the patient's body and his lifestyle.

Cost of the procedure

Contour plastic is a rather complicated operation, the final cost of which depends on several factors:

• drug cost;
• required volume;
• skin condition;
• the size of the area to be adjusted.

The average price of drugs in Russia ranges from 6 to 22 thousand rubles per 0.5 ml of a substance. So, for example, the most common Restylane injection used to restore facial contours and correct wrinkles costs around 12,000 rubles, and one dose of Dysport for the treatment of hyperhidrosis will cost only 120 rubles.

Contour plastic is primarily medical preparations for filling and smoothing wrinkles. They fill the skin, increase volume. As a rule, these are drugs of synthetic origin, so such drugs do not cause allergic reactions.

They can be both biodegradable, i.e. completely dissipate after a few months. And they can be non-biodegradable, i.e. has been in the skin for many years.

The procedures do not require a lot of time, and the recovery period after them is minimal. The results are visible immediately after the procedure. The safety of drugs is one of the most important criteria today.

Preparations are based on hyaluronic acid - a natural component of the human body, do not contain any substances of animal origin. The natural result of the procedure with the use of such drugs does not distort the appearance of the patient.

Wrinkle correction is a special service performed by our professional specialists at our Absolut Med Moscow Cosmetology Clinic.

Sharon Stone has joined an initiative to increase confidence in aesthetic procedures.

March 28, 2015 In Monaco, Sharon Stone joined Galderma's global initiative to increase consumer confidence in aesthetic treatments. For the first time, a world-class celebrity participates in the promotion of aesthetic procedures.

Facial contouring with hyaluronic acid allows you to:

• Get rid of wrinkles
• Restore youth to lips
• Restore facial contour
• Restore skin elasticity and turgor
• Improve the condition of the skin on the back of the hands and décolleté

“We want to shed light on how delicate and natural the results of aesthetic procedures can be. We know it's hard for people to trust photos, and that's why we show results you can trust - in real time. We hope to debunk old stereotypes and help people make informed decisions.”

In 2013, over 23 million people in the world received experience in the use of aesthetic procedures. More people are showing interest in them.

A recent study by Galderma showed that 9 out of 10 patients (87.1% of those surveyed) opt for aesthetic procedures to feel more confident as they enter middle age. At the same time, people want results to look natural. Most of all, patients fear unnatural results.

Restylane is the undisputed leader among fillers used to eliminate wrinkles, nasolabial folds, correct the shape of the lips and facial contours. An important advantage of Restylane is its long-term effect - the effect of the procedure lasts for at least 6 months.

Restylane is a hyaluronic acid biogel. When injected into the skin tissue, the gel particles accumulate water molecules, creating volume and thereby smoothing the skin. Restylane gives the best effect when treating the forehead, the bridge of the lips and the outer edges of the eyes, as well as the nasolabial folds.

Facial contouring

Contouring is an injection cosmetic procedure, the purpose of which is to model the proportions and features of the face. It is carried out exclusively for aesthetic indications, at the request of the patient herself. Contour plastic is carried out from the age of 18, it is not necessary to wait for age-related changes, the appearance of wrinkles, etc. The effect is achieved through the introduction of hyaluronic acid preparations. This contributes to an increase in volume, an increase in turgor and the level of hydration of the treated area.

Lip contouring

This procedure is often referred to as lip augmentation. However, contour plastic surgery allows not only to increase the volume, but to correct the shape of the lips, eliminate the existing asymmetry, and achieve rejuvenation of the perioral region. During the procedure, the doctor, using an ultra-thin needle, injects the hyaluronic acid preparation along the contour of the lips, evenly distributing it with massaging movements. Previously, a local anesthetic cream is applied to the surface of the treated area under the film. Due to this, the discomfort during the administration of the drug is reduced. Modern drugs in the composition also have an anesthetic substance, which reduces pain. In order for the result to be ideal, it is important for the patient to discuss with the doctor in advance the desired shape of the lips, their size. Much depends on the aesthetic sense of the doctor. It is important that the proportions are harmonious, natural and satisfy the girl's sense of beauty. Since a large number of injections are made into the lips to form the contour and shape, the client can clearly see the changes and correct them along the way.

The effectiveness of contouring

The aesthetic effectiveness of preparations based on hyaluronic acid is explained by the unique properties of the gel:

• increases the volume of the skin, thanks to its ability to retain water,
• improves skin morphology, increasing its elasticity,
• when carrying out a supporting course of procedures, it provides a lasting result.

Restrictions

Also, botulinum toxin has a number of contraindications. Absolute contraindications include pregnancy and lactation, age less than 18 years, myasthenia gravis, movement disorders of various origins, individual intolerance to the drug, inflammatory changes at the planned injection site. Relative contraindications are acute somatic diseases in the acute stage, taking certain medications, operations performed at the planned injection site for a period of less than three months.

Important information

The effectiveness of subcutaneous injections of preparations containing botulinum toxin lasts no more than a year, then the procedure should be repeated. However, it is not worth doing it more often, there is a high probability of developing tolerance of the body to the drug, which is fraught with a lack of proper effect.

The choice of drug depends on the individual characteristics of the client, age, wrinkle depth and area of ​​application.

How long do results from contouring procedures last?

When correcting wrinkles and folds, planned procedures may be needed after 6-12 months, and for lip contouring - after 6 months. The duration of the effect depends on many factors, such as: the structure of the patient's skin, lifestyle, age, injection technique. Clinical experience shows that maintenance and re-treatments can achieve a longer effect. So, when correcting nasolabial folds, a second injection, carried out after 4.5 months, provides a result or even improvement in the condition of this area for 18 months.

Are there many side effects or unwanted reactions?

Since the drug is administered by injection, the usual reactions in this case are quite possible, such as: redness, swelling, pain, itching, bruising and soreness at the injection site. The intensity of these manifestations can vary from mild to moderate. They usually go away on their own within a few days, a maximum of one or two weeks. There are very few reported cases of inflammatory reactions.

rehabilitation period

The beautician is simply obliged to give recommendations after contouring persons who must be strictly followed. Otherwise, the procedure can turn into unpleasant consequences. Minor side effects can develop into complications, and the result lasts much less than the promised time. To prevent this from happening, follow a few unshakable rules for skin care during the recovery period.

What not to do after facial contouring:

1. 1-2 days - smile broadly, stretching the muscles of the face;
2. 4-5 days - intensive physical exercises and loads;
3. 5 days - drink alcohol, coagulants, aspirin;
4. 1 week - bathe in hot water;
5. 1 week - touch the injection sites, sleep on the stomach;
6. 1 week - use alcohol-containing lotions;
7. 1 week - apply decorative cosmetics (foundation, powder);
8. 2 weeks - visit the sauna;
9. 1 month - visit the solarium and stay in the sun for too long;
10. half a year - intensive massages and myostimulation.

If all these requirements are met, rehabilitation after facial contouring will be successful, without complications and unpleasant consequences.

Where is the mistake? Most often, the cause of bumps in the places of punctures on the face after contouring becomes ... a smile in the first days after the procedure. It stretches the muscles and shifts the threads, fillers and gels that have not yet been established under the skin.

Possible Complications

Unpleasant consequences of facial contouring may occur due to the fact that the drug was injected into a dangerous area where there are accumulations of capillaries. The facial nerve may be affected. Sometimes the filler does not take root in the body. But most often, complications are dictated by improper skin care during the rehabilitation period. They can become:

• scarring;
• inflammation;
• cones;
• yellowness or grayness of the skin;
• fibrous deformity.

If facial contouring is performed by an experienced cosmetologist in accordance with all recommendations and contraindications, it can truly work wonders with appearance. Just a few injections - and facial features are transformed beyond recognition, become more perfect and close to ideal. Inspired by the amazing results, women often abuse fillers and threads, increasingly turning to them for help. As a result, there is practically no trace of the natural beauty bestowed on them by nature itself, while it is naturalness that today remains a trend in the fashion world. So, when going to the center of aesthetic medicine for beauty injections, keep this in mind.
