The vast majority of people are inclined to undergo certain cosmetic procedures in the summer due to the high temperatures and sun exposure. However, there are medical-aesthetic treatments that are perfectly compatible with summer, and may even be advisable at this time of year.
Fillers: facial volume restoration
Dermal fillers are products used to add volume or correct the effects of aging. They are commonly used in the face, but are increasingly being used in other areas, such as the neck and other parts of the body. The most widely used are hyaluronic acid fillers, although redensifying and collagen-stimulating fillers, such as caprolactone and calcium hydroxylapatite, are becoming increasingly popular. They are more commonly used because of their properties and durability.. They are applied through very small syringes and do not leave any scars.
Hyaluronic acid fillers, which can be cross-linked or non-cross-linked, are used to add volume and fill in lines and wrinkles. They are very safe and effective. Due to their nature, they are not permanent fillers and are reabsorbed over time. They generally last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the degree of cross-linking of the material. The areas where they are most commonly used to restore facial volume are: cheekbones, chin, lips, nasolabial fold (wrinkle that joins the side of the nose with the corner of the lips) or puppet lines (fold from the corners of the mouth to the jawline). Fill wrinkles or small wrinkles.
Thread lifts: treatment for facial sagging
They are used to treat sagging and loss of firmness in the skin. During the aging process, collagen production in the skin decreases, leading to a progressive sagging of facial tissues, the appearance of nasolabial folds (marionette lines), under-eye bags, and a loss of facial contour. Thread lifts are the best non-invasive treatment to reverse these changes.
In our practice, we use the Vectorial Suspension technique, in which absorbable threads are applied to achieve a virtually immediate result. Likewise, the generation of collagen around the threads It maintains long-term changes. It is a simple, virtually painless method, requiring only local topical anesthetic cream.
