What are the least invasive methods to improve skin and reduce wrinkles?

The trend in aesthetic medicine aims to avoid surgical interventions and seeks to highlight naturalness.

With new equipment and updates to the existing one, the minimally invasive procedures They are key to attenuating the marks of passage over time on the face and body, and that is why they are widely chosen.

“There is a change of concept. It is no longer about fighting against the passage of time, but rather about maintaining a healthy, fresh and balanced appearance, according to age. It is not about trying to look 15 years younger but rather about positively improving the health of the skin, in addition to optimizing the structure and facial contour,” explains plastic surgeon Raúl Banegas, member of the Argentine Society of Plastic Surgery (Sacper). .

It is paradigm shift values ​​naturalness and relies on innovative, increasingly less invasive procedures.

Biostimulation is one of the most sought after treatments.

“It is something natural and it makes the cells themselves work and start making collagen. Why is collagen so important? Because when you start to lose yourself, the dermis becomes thinner, loses elasticity and moisture, which leads to the dreaded sagging. Biostimulation, precisely, stimulates the cells themselves,” says the dermatologist Velia Lemel, member of the Argentine Society of Dermatology (SAD) and director of Clínica Lemel.

They are applied through mini injectionsbut, according to experts, all of them are painless.

There are several types: some aim to gain luminosity, others increase the degree of tension, there are those that harmonize the different tones that the skin is having and also those that moisturize.

One of the novelties is a hybrid injectable Double effect which contains hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite, which are presented in the same injection.

“In this way, in a single session, it offers an immediate lifting effect and sustained collagen stimulation. This treatment is indicated to treat saggingimprove the quality and architecture of the facial skin,” says Banegas.

Profhilo is a product innovative with hyaluronic acid ultrapure.

“Not only is it a treatment to hydrate and brighten the skin, it also gives firmness. It can be used in young patients, from 25 years old, or older, who seek to regenerate the skin,” details dermatologist Christián Sánchez Saizar, member of the SAD and director of Concepto Estético.

To improve sagging and texture of the skin, redefine contours, increase the volume of sunken areas like furrows, folds, dark circles and scars is Sculptra.

“It works with poly-L-lactic acid. This component replaces collagen and in turn naturally stimulates cells to begin their own production. Other biostimulator “What I recommend is Radiesse, a dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxyapatite, a great collagen stimulator,” explains Dr. Lemel.

When seeking to recover dermal tension and remodel support structures, the novelty is Morpheus8, a fractional radio frequency device and microneedles with which it acts on subdermal fat.

“Its waves penetrate to great depths with a programmable energy level, which allows the treatment to be adapted to the needs of each patient. In this way while tightens the skin blurs deep wrinkles, treats barcode calls, droopy eyelids, eliminates acne scars, improves the general appearance of the skin and unifies the tone” details dermatologist Agustina Vilaechague.

As for EMFACE, it is a one of a kind devicewhich works the skin and muscles of the face.

They are sessions of only 20 minutes that have no contraindications and manage to reduce wrinkles without pain. “It emits two types of energy: HIFESTM, the patented high-intensity selective electrical stimulation, and synchronized radiofrequency.

These two energies They work synergistically and simultaneouslyso in this procedure not only are wrinkles reduced, but the skin is also tightened and volumes are filled thanks to the increased facial muscle tone“, details Lemel.

EvolveX is the machine that promises remove fat cells under the skin and transform the appearance of the body.

EvolveX is a safe and effective procedure that guarantees results “simultaneously allowing you to reduce centimeters, treat sagging skin, tone muscles and improve the appearance of cellulite,” he explains.

To tone muscle and burn fat at the same time, one of the new developments in non-invasive technology is Cm Slim.

“They are scheduled training It includes four protocols of just 30 minutes, which are equivalent to more than 20 thousand muscle contractions. In this way, it increases muscle mass while helping to lose fat,” says Sánchez Saizar.

“It allows you to increase the volume of muscle mass and achieve goals such as lifting buttocks, mark the abdomen and improve the triceps, shoulders, quadriceps and posteriors.”

It should be clarified that Each patient is unique and the choice of each treatment will depend on professional evaluation. to decide which one is appropriate.
