Here are some of the most common questions about facial rejuvenation to help clear up all your doubts on the topic!
Science estimates that 30% of human aging is determined by genetics.
The rest depends on our habits, such as diet, sleep, sun exposure, pollution, and more.
In other words, healthy choices influence the appearance of your skin. Eating well, staying physically active, and maintaining proper skincare routines can aid in rejuvenation and help prevent aging.
Skincare involves not only dermatological monitoring but also the technological resources that a dermatologist may recommend for their patients.
Keep reading this article to discover some of the most frequently asked questions about facial rejuvenation!
1. How does facial aging occur?
This is one of the most common questions about facial rejuvenation. Facial aging occurs due to multiple factors that directly impact the layers of the skin. The process initially shows through the formation of fine lines and the loss of the skin’s natural radiance. Spots may also appear.
However, the process is more complex than it seems. The structures that support our skin also age, leading to what is often referred to as facial sagging. Due to the reduction of underlying tissues, such as fat, the skin begins to collapse onto the internal structure.
As a result, deeper folds and wrinkles appear, along with facial sagging and a loss of fat in areas like the eyelids.
2. Questions about facial rejuvenation – What are the types of facial rejuvenation?
This is indeed a very broad topic, and there are several types of treatments designed to improve the quality of the skin and its adjacent tissues. We know that the aging process occurs differently for each person, and there are various treatments targeted at addressing this.
Here are some of the most effective treatments:
Deka Fractional and Pulsed CO2 Laser
This treatment works on deep skin rejuvenation and is considered the most recommended non-surgical procedure for facial rejuvenation. It significantly stimulates collagen production.
The advanced Smart Pulse system employs new micropoint technology, allowing for more precise and safer control of the treated area. Using a scanner that fractions the laser emission, it protects the adjacent healthy tissue, enabling faster healing and rejuvenation of the treated skin.
The principle of Fractional Laser is the creation of “thermal columns” (micro thermal zones) of energy that penetrate the skin and treat it extensively and deeply. Its goal is to improve sagging, wrinkles, scars, and spots, while also enhancing the skin’s brightness, radiance, and quality.
Fillers
Another very common question about facial rejuvenation is about filler treatments and their applications. This procedure is ideal for addressing deep wrinkles and folds while enhancing facial contours.
Fillers work by restoring lost volume in specific areas of the face in a natural and harmonious way. This is achieved using hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in humans and animals.
In the body, hyaluronic acid provides tissue support, improves hydration and skin elasticity, and treats wrinkles and fine lines.
Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin is ideal for treating expression wrinkles, especially on the forehead and around the eyes.
This treatment works by acting directly on the muscles, reducing their contraction and smoothing wrinkles. Additionally, it helps prevent the formation of new wrinkles on the face.
Botulinum toxin effectively targets the root cause of wrinkles, making it highly efficient. Other treatments can be used complementarily to enhance the results.
Peels
Peels assist with the superficial rejuvenation of the skin. These are very safe treatments that can be performed regularly, targeting various skin concerns such as acne, spots, fine wrinkles, open pores, and more by promoting cellular renewal.
There are several types of peels, including physical peels (like crystal peels) and chemical peels. Among chemical peels, specific types are tailored to different issues.
The Retinoic and Salicylic Peels Focused on acne, oily skin, and stretch marks. The Modern Peels: such as Melanesse, Cosmelan, and Cimel, which are designed for treating spots and promoting rejuvenation.
Collagen Biostimulators
Collagen biostimulators, such as Sculptra, chemically stimulate the production of collagen. They play an important role in treating and preventing sagging, wrinkles, and cellulite, while also providing a lifting effect.
This minimally invasive procedure involves the use of a cannula and is primarily applied to areas such as the face, neck, buttocks, arms, and thighs.
Focused Ultrasound
Through the generation of heat in micropoints on the skin, thermal waves deeply penetrate the skin, creating coagulation zones and stimulating collagen production.
As it works at a deeper level and provides muscle anchoring, focused ultrasound offers more support and firmness to the skin. It is an excellent option for patients with a heavier face and body sagging.
Radiofrequency
According to the Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD), radiofrequency is a technique that heats all tissues containing water molecules. It works by generating heat in the dermis, the intermediate layer of the skin, which stimulates the production of new collagen fibers.
Typically, between 5 to 10 sessions are needed, and it is mainly indicated for treating sagging, cellulite, and localized fat.
Microneedling
According to the Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD), microneedling is a procedure that involves creating micro-punctures in the skin using fine metallic needles. Its most prominent result is the induction of collagen and other natural fibers in the skin, as well as thickening the epidermis.
This technique can be performed using rollers, electric pens, or stamps. It is crucial to ensure that the equipment used is authorized by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) and that the needles are sterile. Under no circumstances should the needles be reused, even on the same patient.
PDO Threads
PDO threads are made from polydioxanone (PDO), a material commonly used in sutures, but with the purpose of stimulating collagen production and providing skin support.
These threads are fully absorbed by the body and are positioned in various directions beneath the skin, providing support. From there, they begin to stimulate collagen production.
What is the best method for facial rejuvenation?
This is one of the most common questions about facial rejuvenation, and there is no predefined answer. The treatments I mentioned, especially laser, fillers, and Botox, are the most commonly recommended.
Combining treatments is also a great way to achieve the best results. The choice of treatments will be based on the evaluation of each patient’s face. We need to remember that people are unique, so each patient will receive a personalized treatment plan.
