L-polylactic acid - natural filler

Features of the drug

The AestheFill hydrogel composition is based on polylactic acid. PLA is an active polylactide that has long been used in medicine due to its hypoallergenicity, absence of protein and artificial, non-degradable polymers. Natural biodegradation of the substance leads to its decomposition into glycogen and lactic acid, which are removed from the body with water and carbon dioxide.

After injection, the filler breaks down into many AestheFill microspheres in the skin layers. Porous polylactic acid beads fill vacant areas without over-correction. Then, over the course of 2 years, skin cells continuously synthesize their own collagen and hyaluronic acid. A filler based on PLA creates a strong collagen base, and the prolonged action of the drug allows repeated injections only after several years.

The introduction of Estefil filler allows the cosmetologist to solve several problems simultaneously:

• replenish volume in problem areas;
• activate the internal reserves of the skin - collagen synthesis, formation of new tissues;
• maintain the effect of the procedure for a long time.

Plus 3 – permanent result

The appearance of wrinkles and aging is a natural and irreversible process. But why can't we age gracefully? Why passively watch as your face develops new, unwanted lines and wrinkles?

Thanks to the currently available technologies offered by aesthetic medicine, everyone can enjoy a youthful and natural appearance for many years, eliminating the symptoms of not only skin aging, but also tissue volume loss. The effect of treatment with L-polylactic acid lasts up to two years.

L-polylactic acid is especially suitable for people who value natural treatment results. Yes, the skin recovers slowly, but precisely because of this effect, when the patient goes to work after the procedure, no one will understand that she “did something to her face.” It won't look artificial. And after some time, the result of rejuvenation will be clearly visible.

Benefits of AestheFill

The drug AestheFill based on PLA differs from other fillers in a number of positive qualities:

1. Absolute safety for the body. The natural process of breakdown of active compounds does not cause allergies or rejection processes - reactions characteristic of the introduction of foreign bodies.
2. Fixed action in the problem area. PMC is not able to migrate in tissues. Its particles remain in the injection zone and fix the specified volume.
3. The introduction of polylactic acid does not cause capillary clogging due to the correct shape of the microspheres.
4. A cosmetologist can independently prepare a suspension of any concentration for injection into different layers of the dermis - superficial or deep.
5. For a long time, the skin does not need additional complex invasive cosmetic procedures.
6. One bottle of the drug is enough to treat the face, neck, and décolleté. PLA can be injected into the skin of the hands for rejuvenation.
7. Painless administration of the product.
8. The possibility of combining the drug with other cosmetological technologies (for example, with laser rejuvenation).
9. No side effects.

Non-absorbable fillers, biodegradable

These preparations are made on the basis of liquid silicone. They do not dissolve, do not require repeated injections and are a much cheaper way to rejuvenate and correct skin imperfections. These tempting advantages force many women to risk their health and beauty, but such fillers have many more disadvantages and complications: such fillers can migrate from the injection area (for example, by adjusting the volume of your cheekbones, you can become the owner of swollen cheeks), form granulomas, with their subsequent necrosis. There is a high risk of developing allergic reactions. In case of complications, it is necessary to perform an operation to remove the fillers.

Indications for use of AestheFill

Contour plastic surgery with polylactic acid is indicated in the following cases:

• sagging skin of the face, neck, décolleté, hands, caused by degeneration of adipose tissue in the subcutaneous tissue;
• correction of areas with lost volume, sagging, reduced density;
• sunken areas of the temples, cheeks, pronounced nasolabial, premaxillary folds;
• scars of various origins on the skin - post-surgical, atrophic;
• change in facial contour (asymmetry, lost volume);
• changing the shape of the chin, enlarging the cheekbones and lips.

What is the procedure for administering AestheFill?

First of all, a cosmetologist examines the patient’s skin and identifies areas that require correction. Then the scheme according to which the specialist will perform the injections is determined. The skin of the face, neck, décolleté or hands is cleansed with a delicate cosmetic product and treated with an anesthetic.

While the anesthetic begins to act, the cosmetologist prepares a suspension of PLA granules in the required concentration. For injections, a special syringe with a microscopic needle is used. These features help minimize pain during the procedure. The finished composition can be introduced into the modeling zones - the places that have undergone the greatest changes (cheekbones, chin, lips, temples, forehead, cheeks). If the specialist decides to perform vector lifting, the drug is administered over the entire face.

To target wrinkles, AestheFill is injected directly into the base of the wrinkles. This method of injections allows the PMC filler to fill voids in the skin and bend wrinkled creases. To add volume to the lips or cheekbones, the cosmetic product is evenly distributed over the entire surface. In this case, quite a lot of injections are performed in small doses. As a rule, the correction procedure using Estefil gel takes from 30 to 60 minutes.

Recommendations for using PMC filler

The AestheFill injection procedure is intended to correct areas of skin that have lost tone, are dehydrated and flabby. After all manipulations, a light massage is required, which will help distribute the drug in problem areas and uniformly fill the voids inside the dermal layers.

After the injection of AestheFill filler, the client is recommended to comply with certain requirements:

• do not use caring and decorative cosmetics for 24 hours;
• do not touch the injection sites so as not to injure the skin or cause infectious complications;
• refrain from visiting the sauna, bathhouse, solarium, swimming pool;
• for 2-3 days, refrain from intense sports and other physical activity;
• eliminate alcohol consumption

The duration of the recovery period is determined for each client individually. The duration depends on the characteristics of the skin and the nature of the defects being corrected. In the event that the changes in the skin are severe, it is advisable to repeat injections of the PMC filler after 2-3 months for the purpose of correction.

Complications after fillers

The consequences of complications are extremely unfavorable and can seriously affect the aesthetic result and health of the patient, after which medical intervention is necessary. It can be:

• tissue necrosis , as a result of compression of the vessel feeding the surrounding tissues
• neuropathic disorders - long-term loss of sensation at the injection site
• Contouring of the drug - if the filler is injected too close to the surface of the skin.
• skin ischemia - can be caused by an anesthetic in the drug, or by blockage of a vessel when the drug gets into it. Accompanied by whitening of the skin and pain.
• fibrosis, tissue compaction - excessive growth of new collagen and elastin at the injection site.
• Granulomatous inflammation - nodular compactions, as a result of the body’s attempt to fence itself off from a foreign substance, to encapsulate the drug.
• Filler migration is a result of improper use of filler, injection into an inappropriate area, or the use of biodegradable fillers.
• individual intolerance to the drug - manifested by a typical allergic reaction - swelling, redness, itching.
• skin inflammation - as a result of violation of the rules of asepsis/antiseptics and personal hygiene.

As you can see, the issue of choosing a drug for contouring is very important. There is no need to save money or look for a cheaper way to fix the problem. It is very important to contact a qualified specialist who will select the right drug and perform the procedure using competent techniques.

The result of correction with polylactic acid gel

After the procedure, the visible effect occurs almost immediately. Over time, visual signs of rejuvenation become more pronounced. Thanks to the effect of PLA microgranules, anti-aging changes occur in all layers of the skin at the cellular level.

As a result, the client notes:

• lasting effect of real rejuvenation at any age;
• compensation for lost volume in the area of ​​the temples, cheeks, cheekbones;
• reconstruction of dense facial contours, chin area, clear cheekbone line;
• smoothing out facial wrinkles in areas around the eyes and mouth covered with thin, delicate skin;
• visible changes in the density and color of the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, and hands;
• elimination of facial wrinkles, age spots, post-acne marks;
• narrowing of pores, smoothness, elasticity, healthy complexion.

Possible complications

No side effects were found following the administration of PMC. The appearance of negative phenomena after the correction procedure is possible only due to the individual characteristics of the skin. In some cases, hematomas, tissue swelling, and skin itching are the result of an error by an unqualified cosmetologist. It is important to entrust your face to a specialist with sufficient experience in the field of minimally invasive cosmetology.

In any case, all negative signs disappear on their own 2-5 days after the procedure for introducing the cosmetic product.

Reviews of the drug AestheFill

Professional cosmetologists speak positively about Estefil. The drug has a pronounced rejuvenating effect even on fairly old patients. In almost 95% of cases of use, a visible effect appears in the first hours after administration. The maximum result is determined after 1-2 months in the form of restoration of natural density and skin turgor. Natural firmness and elasticity returns to the face.

All regeneration processes in the deep layers of the skin occur naturally, due to the activation of the synthesis of its own collagen and hyaluronic acid. Compared to other drugs, PMC is injected subcutaneously into problem areas quite quickly. The recovery period takes place in a matter of days. After 1-2 days, post-injection swelling resolves, and after 3-5, hematomas and bruises completely disappear.

The Center for Aesthetic Medicine "Novoklinik" offers to take advantage of a special offer - correction of skin changes using AestheFill gel for only 47,500 rubles instead of 80,000.

Patients who have already used the services of Novoklinik specialists note the rapid restoration of the skin of the face, neck, décolleté and hands. With the help of PMK fillers, they restore their former beauty and attractiveness. One of the significant advantages of the product is its affordable price, which is combined with a long-lasting positive cosmetic effect.

Cosmetic procedures are contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation.

Bio-reinforcement of the face: history of appearance, essence of rejuvenation techniques, review of fillers

In cosmetology, bioreinforcement is the name given to a facial rejuvenation technique used when age-related changes in the skin begin to indicate withering of the epidermis. The name of the technique was borrowed from the construction industry, where builders use reinforcement to strengthen building structures. In cosmetology, the principle of bioreinforcement is used to strengthen the skin, increase its density and elasticity.

Bioreinforcement of the face, also called softlifting, is always carried out using fillers.

History of filler creation

Fillers were first discussed in Germany in the 19th century. Then a German doctor named Gustave Adolf Neuber began to inject his patients with fat into problem areas for the sake of experiment. In the 40s of the last century, fat began to be replaced with a special silicone gel. But they abandoned it because the silica gel turned out to be of poor quality. In the last decade of the last century, scientists again returned to the practice of using fat from patients. Doctors have learned to extract collagen from the patient’s fat layer at the time of liposuction. Thus, two problems began to be solved at once: patients got rid of annoying fat and at the same time reduced wrinkles on their faces. In 2003, fillers based on hyaluronic acid were invented. Since then, anti-aging drugs based on hyaluronate have been actively produced.

What is the essence of the technique of bioreinforcement with fillers?

Bioreinforcement is an injection procedure that involves introducing fillers or threads under the skin using a syringe. The stitching with reinforcing injections is carried out along the horizontal and vertical lines of the skin, thereby forming a kind of mesh frame.

In relatively recent times, gold threads were used for reinforcement. However, studies have confirmed that with their help you can only strengthen the skin, but not achieve significant tightening. Therefore, the search for new technologies continued and new effective drugs were found.

Today in modern cosmetology, fillers such as hyaluronic and polylactic acid are offered for reinforcement.

Hyaluronic acid has the maximum similarity to the natural substance produced in the dermal layer. For this reason, hyaluronic filler is easily absorbed by the body, performing its main function of moisturizing and stimulating skin regeneration. Polylactic acid also provides deep hydration by stimulating active collagen production. Compared to hyaluronic acid, its effect lasts longer and is more pronounced. Therefore, polylactic acid is prescribed to women in the older age category.

Polycaprolactone is a medical polymer, the effect of which can be manifested over a 5-year period. The drug is a strong biostimulant that triggers the production of your own collagen.

For your information! There is no need to be afraid of the bioreinforcement procedure, as it is always performed only after local anesthesia. The drug is administered along surgical vectors parallel to the skin surface using special cannulas. As a result, a network of filler threads is formed, under the influence of which regenerative processes are activated, new cells are formed, lost volume is restored, and sagging skin is tightened.

What problems can be solved by bioreinforcement?

Modern fillers used during the bioreinforcement procedure allow:

• Get a pronounced lifting effect. Reinforcement of the face with biothreads allows you to fix the contours of the face and tighten a sagging chin.
• Achieve pronounced skin regeneration. The preparations used saturate the skin with moisture, increase its elasticity, create an even tone and a healthy appearance. The introduction of hyaluronic acid under the skin stimulates it to self-rejuvenate.
• Achieve increased elasticity. Skin cells are kept in a tense state due to regenerative processes.
• Restore volume to dry skin. This is possible due to the fact that hyaluronic acid fills the creases and additionally attracts moisture. In this way, nasolabial folds are straightened, skin creases near the eyes and lips disappear.
• Start recovery processes. As a result, the production of collagen and elastin proteins is stimulated, due to which skin rejuvenation is observed.
• Change the shape of lips, cheekbones, cheeks due to the thick consistency of the preparations. The procedure also shows high effectiveness in the neck and décolleté area.

The use of this procedure really has many advantages. But at the same time, you need to know about its contraindications. Let's look at them below.

Contraindications

When deciding to undergo bioreinforcement, you should study the entire range of contraindications.

These are: - oncological diseases; — diseases of the cardiovascular system; - herpes in the acute stage; — autoimmune diseases; — infectious and inflammatory processes; - increased body temperature; - tendency to develop colloidal scars; - use of blood thinners; - bearing a child and lactation period.

Attention! The presence of one of these points is a direct ban on carrying out this rejuvenation technique. In this case, you need to consult your doctor and find a suitable alternative option. Doctors also warn that bioreinforcement cannot be done during menstruation and 7 days before their onset.

What may indicate the need for a bioreinforcement procedure?

Cosmetologists recommend this technique for ladies aged 35 to 50 years. But given that each person’s skin has its own characteristics and immune resistance, the need to use the technique must be determined by the signs of ptosis, that is, drooping facial tissues.

You can identify these signs in yourself by performing a simple test:

1. Look straight into the mirror and pay attention to the outline. If it has changed, you should think about bioreinforcement.

2. Bend your head forward. We look at the elasticity of the skin of the cheeks and the possibility of their sagging. Pay attention to the folds deepening in the corners of the mouth and along the nose. If changes become noticeable when you tilt your head, your cosmetologist will recommend rejuvenating your face using bioreinforcement. In practice, this procedure is usually offered to women after 40 years of age.

How should I prepare for the procedure?

The preparatory period before bioreinforcement takes an average of 14 days. Attention! All of the drugs listed below can only be prescribed or discontinued by a doctor, taking into account the patient’s health condition. Their independent appointment is strictly prohibited.

Preparation for the procedure should look like this:

1. 14 days before the procedure, you will need to stop taking vitamin E and anticoagulants, which can cause the formation of hematomas. You will also have to stop taking painkillers (Tempalgin, Analgin, Baralgin) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

2. 14 days before the start of the session, you should start taking Detralex, Ascorutin. These drugs will help strengthen the walls of blood vessels to prevent the formation of hematomas.

3. To avoid bleeding and increase blood clotting, 3 hours before the procedure you should take 2-3 tablets of Dicion (it is sold in every pharmacy).

4. If there are frequent manifestations of herpes, doctors advise taking Acyclovir (Virolex, Zovirax) or Valtrex 2 days before the session and for 7 days after the procedure for the purpose of prevention. The use of herpes creams in this case will be useless.

For your information! In cases where a person has a tendency to pigmentation after injections, the doctor prescribes 1 month before the procedure to take a medication that inhibits the production and synthesis of melanin (ascorbic acid, arbutin, hydroquinone, metal ions of iron, copper or zinc can be prescribed).

How is the bioreinforcement procedure performed?

After examining the facial skin, the cosmetologist conducts a detailed survey of the client to identify contraindications.

If no contraindications are found, the session begins with cleansing the face with lotion with a disinfecting effect. Then the skin is lubricated with anesthetic cream to reduce its sensitivity. It is worth saying here that an absolute analgesic effect cannot be achieved, but an anesthetic cream will be quite enough to greatly reduce sensitivity and discomfort.

The esthetician will then mark the points and directions on the face where the needle will be inserted. After stitching the face with gel threads, slight redness will remain at the injection sites, disappearing after a few days. At the end of the procedure, the needle puncture sites are treated with an antiseptic and sometimes covered with an adhesive plaster.

How does the recovery period proceed and how long does it last?

The bioreinforcement procedure is not a traumatic procedure, so the rehabilitation period passes quickly. There is no need to adjust the usual rhythm of life to the bioreinforcement procedure.

Important! During the week after the session, slight swelling and slight redness may occur on the face. In such cases, the doctor prescribes Lyoton 1000 gel. Applying ice will also help relieve swelling.

Doctors advise:

1. Do not visit the solarium, swimming pool or sauna for one month.
2. Do not use peelings or various scrubs for 14 days.
3. Do not massage for 14 days after the procedure.
4. Avoid exposure to heat on the face (it is prohibited to sunbathe immediately after the procedure, stand for a long time near the stove or fireplace, steaming procedures are not recommended).
5. Avoid heavy loads (it makes sense to avoid sports training, running and bending).
6. Do not strain your facial muscles. You can't give free rein to facial expressions. You should not sleep on your stomach for a month after the procedure. If this advice is ignored, hyaluronic acid may degrade. Consequently, the result of the bioreinforcement procedure will be significantly reduced.

When considering modern methods of rejuvenation in a salon, women should remember that after 50 years the procedure will show weak results. This happens because as women age, their hormonal levels change and the skin’s ability to recover weakens.

Side effects

Due to the fact that each person’s body has its own characteristics and its own individual immunity, after a session, unpleasant side effects

effects. They can manifest themselves:

1. Redness of the skin at injection sites. To prevent inflammatory processes from occurring, the skin will need to be treated with a disinfectant. 2. Local hemorrhages. As a rule, they resolve on their own, but your doctor may recommend a number of restorative ointments that are worth using. 3. Pigmentation. Pigment spots may occur if skin care is not carried out correctly during the rehabilitation period. 4. Problems with facial symmetry. Facial distortion can occur if the work was performed by an unqualified cosmetologist.

How often does a session need to be repeated?

The frequency of repeating the bioreinforcement procedure depends on the client’s age, the condition of his skin and the drug used.

A course of rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid fillers may involve 3-5 procedures. The interval between manipulations should be 2 weeks. This interval will help avoid the development of any complications.

Polylactic acid injections give better results. However, they are considered as a radical option and are prescribed in the presence of deep defects. As a rule, one session is enough for the client. And the result remains from it for a year. In some cases, the doctor recommends repeating the injections.

Thread bioreinforcement is carried out in one session, and the effect of the procedure can last from 2 to 5 years. But, agreeing to the procedure of bioreinforcement with threads, you should understand that this rejuvenation technique is too serious, and therefore requires a highly qualified specialist. In addition, you should very carefully study all the positive and negative aspects of the procedure.
