Bio-reinforcement of the face - an alternative to surgical lifting 

Indications

Bio-reinforcement is recommended for patients who have already shown the first pronounced signs of gravitational aging of the skin, i.e. the oval has “floated”, overhanging folds have appeared. Peels and biorevitalization (deep hydration) will not cope with this problem, but bioreinforcement will come in handy.

The procedure is suitable if you need:

• corrected the oval of the face (the need arises after 40 years), reduce the volume of the cheeks or tighten them;
• restore facial contour in the temporal region;
• highlight the contour of the lips, cheekbones, lift drooping eyelids, remove the double chin;
• get rid of deep wrinkles on the forehead and in the nasolabial triangle;
• correct facial asymmetry;
• make the skin in the neck area more elastic, remove the rings of Venus.

What it is

The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the phrase “facial reinforcement” is the introduction of threads under the skin for tightening. But this method has various disadvantages, in particular, its cost and possible complications. Lifting with mesothreads (Aptos and others) or Dysport creates a strong metal or synthetic frame under the epidermis, which dissolves over time.

Bio-reinforcement or vector lifting allows for a completely natural recovery process. During the session, gel materials are used, which are based on hyaluronic acid. Active molecular renewal of skin cells begins during the administration of the drug. Problem areas are treated with gel, and a dense mesh of cells is formed at the puncture site, creating a natural frame.

You need to understand that biorevitalization and bioreinforcement are two different procedures. The first technique provides deep hydration and improvement of external qualities (meaning the color of the skin, the presence of pimples and blackheads). In the second - tightening the contour and restoring the oval.

It should be noted that there is also a procedure for bio-reinforcement of nails. It is radically different from facial reinforcement. It involves treating the nail plates with silk threads (the finest fibers). The effect after it is reminiscent of shellac nail treatment. The procedure involves applying a solution containing silkworm web to the surface. When hardened, it forms a thin but strong mesh that supports the plate.

The photo before and after bioreinforcement of the face clearly shows how quickly the contour is tightened. Depending on the drug chosen and the number of procedures, you can look younger from 10 to 20 years. It should be noted that sessions are always divided into several, most often these are two procedures. The technique involves injecting solutions with an interval of 1 month.

Bio-reinforcement of the face - what is it?

Microinjections of a drug containing hyaluronic acid are injected under the skin. The gel penetrates the tissue and begins to slowly dissolve. During this period, hyaluronic acid attracts a large number of water molecules, due to which fibroblasts are activated. This changes the appearance of the skin: it becomes firmer, more elastic and toned.

The cosmetologist injects the drug according to such a pattern so that a mesh is formed in the deep layers of the dermis. The acid creates a strong frame that “holds” the skin and makes it visually younger. The effect does not appear immediately, but several weeks after the first procedure.

IMPORTANT ! To achieve the maximum visible result, you need to do 2-5 procedures with an interval of 2 weeks. Duration of 1 session – 45-60 minutes. The effect lasts 1-1.5 years. Bioreinforcement is done before the age of 50, after which they resort to more radical methods of rejuvenation.

Contact only trusted clinics and an experienced specialist, because your appearance and health depend on this.

How does a bioreinforcement session work?

To administer the drug, the cosmetologist uses a syringe with a very thin flexible needle - a cannula. Its tip is rounded, so it does not injure the tissues, but pushes them apart, making its way forward. Thanks to this structure of the needle, cells and vessels remain intact. The procedure causes minimal pain, even if it is introduced into the deep layers of the dermis.

Stages of vector lifting:

• The cosmetologist determines where the drug will be injected. Markings are applied to these areas.
• Cleanses the skin of cosmetics and impurities.
• Apply anesthetic to the face. Most often it is a cream with lidocaine. If the patient has a low pain threshold, local anesthesia in the form of injections can be used.
• Disinfects the skin with an antiseptic.
• Injects hyaluronic acid into the marking areas.
• Punctures are treated with an antiseptic and sealed with a band-aid.

The essence of the bioreinforcement procedure

In order to understand what facial bioreinforcement is, you need to understand the essence of the effect of the procedure. Natural proteins produced by the body: elastin and collagen are responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. With age, the synthesis of these substances decreases, and skin tissues lose their original qualities. Elastin stops being produced by age 14, and collagen is not synthesized until age 25. From this moment, the natural restoration of the epidermis slows down and the aging process begins: folds and wrinkles appear, the upper eyelids and corners of the lips sag, and the shape of the face changes.

To maintain skin elasticity, chemicals are introduced into the skin tissue to stimulate collagen production, thereby preventing facial sagging.

The drugs are administered using a special technique along the contours of the face, collagen is formed as the injections are administered, thereby creating a kind of frame that supports the skin of the face.

Biosubstances that stimulate collagen production include polylactic and hyaluronic acids. They ensure blood circulation in the skin vessels and regulate the metabolism of epidermal cells. Along with biolifting of the face, bioreinforcement of the neck and décolleté is also carried out to eliminate sagging skin and prevent the formation of deep folds. Previously, face lifting was carried out by introducing special threads, but advances in medical science have made it possible to use special gels (fillers based on hyaluronic acid) for these purposes.

Skin care after bioreinforcement

Immediately after the session, swelling and small bruises may occur, sometimes pain persists. Schedule the procedure during vacation or before the weekend so you can be at home during the recovery period. For 3 weeks, give up active sports, facial massage, hot water treatments, swimming pools, saunas or steam baths. It is better not to sunbathe or stay in the sun for a long time.

You must not touch your face with dirty hands, and you must not rip off any crusts that have formed. The puncture sites should be treated with an antiseptic morning and evening for 3 days; bruises can be lubricated with special gels (for example, Lyoton 1000). It is undesirable to use decorative and caring cosmetics. Control your facial expressions: don’t wrinkle your forehead, don’t purse your lips, don’t clench your jaw.

If you follow all the recommendations, the skin will recover in 5-7 days. To minimize side effects, follow these rules:

• Do not perform bioreinforcement before or during menstruation.
• Two weeks before the procedure, stop taking anticoagulants, vitamin E and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
• The doctor may recommend drinking Dicynon 3 days before the session. The drug prevents the occurrence of capillary bleeding.
• For frequent relapses of herpes, take antiviral drugs (Acyclovir, Virolex or Zovirax) a few days before vector lifting.

Already on the third day after bioreinforcement, your face will look much better, and you will see the rejuvenation effect in 3-4 weeks.

The benefits and harms of bioreinforcement

The main result of skin rejuvenation through bioreinforcement is a youthful face (minus 5 years), tightened contours, and the absence of wrinkles. Cosmetologists believe that the most suitable age for a biofacelift is from 35 to 50 years.

Positive aspects of bioreinforcement:

• non-surgical rejuvenation method;
• low likelihood of side effects;
• short period of skin recovery after procedures (redness and swelling disappears in 2-5 days);
• visible effect immediately after the procedure (with thread reinforcement);
• there is no recovery period, since possible swelling and bruising disappear within a few days;
• use of biomaterials compatible with skin cells;
• a large number of indications;
• used to increase the elasticity and firmness of the skin both on the face and other parts of the body (neck, décolleté, arms, thighs, abdomen).

The disadvantages include the following:

• to obtain the final result, it is necessary to conduct several courses of bioreinforcement;
• bruises and swelling appear at the injection site;
• not recommended under 40 years of age due to the body's natural production of its own collagen (formation of visible collagen scars).

Advantages and disadvantages of the method

Pros:

• the procedure is painless and harmless to the body;
• there is no foreign material in the tissues, as in the case of bioreinforcement with threads;
• the effect lasts up to 18 months;
• short recovery period;
• the risk of scarring is minimal

Minuses:

• you have to wait for the result;
• the need to carry out a whole course of procedures;
• Often women expect to see a greater effect than may actually be the case.

Side effects are not excluded. In addition to swelling and hematomas, patients may experience:

• allergy to the components of the drug;
• lumps of gel under the skin;
• inflamed nodules (granulomas);
• embolism – blockage of blood vessels by foreign particles.

If you do facial bioreinforcement in a proven place, then the risk of side effects is minimal.

Advantages of the method

• short (from 30 minutes) procedure time
• complete safety of the method: the possibility of subsequent skin injuries with biothreads is excluded
• After the procedure there are no scars or scars left
• short rehabilitation period
• the result lasts for several years.

Of course, facial reinforcement with biothreads can only be performed by a professional cosmetologist surgeon, who will carry out the procedure taking into account all the individual characteristics of the patient’s skin and with maximum effect, and will also provide a full list of recommendations for the recovery period. General recommendations would be
:

• refrain from visiting the solarium,
• do not sunbathe in the sun,
• postpone trips to the bathhouse and sauna,
• do not use cosmetics for two days,
• do not wear makeup.

Contraindications

Vector lifting is prohibited in the following cases:

• bearing a child and lactation period;
• taking antibiotics;
• skin diseases in the facial area, inflammation of the epidermis;
• tendency to form keloid scars;
• autoimmune diseases;
• blood clotting disorder.

A person may not be aware of many diseases. Before the procedure, it is important to take a general blood test and consult a dermatologist.

Contour plastic or bioreinforcement?

Contour plastic surgery and bioreinforcement are based on the same drugs, the only difference is in the technique of their administration. The action of contour plastic surgery is aimed at filling skin defects, furrows, depressions, and correcting the oval of the face, nose, and lips. The biomechanism of bioreinforcement is based on a special fan-shaped puncture technique, in the area of ​​which connective tissue components begin to be synthesized, thereby creating a natural frame. Due to this, comprehensive skin rejuvenation occurs.

Contour plastic surgery is suitable for younger girls; it is still advisable to resort to the bioreinforcement procedure at the age of 35, when metabolic processes and the natural synthesis of hyaluronic acid begin to decline.

Reviews

Reviews from cosmetologists about the bioreinforcement technique leave no doubt about its effectiveness. This is an absolutely safe, low-traumatic method of face lifting and rejuvenation. It does not require a long recovery period, the effect lasts for a long time.

According to patient reviews, bioreinforcement is not only an excellent alternative to plastic surgery, but is even superior to it in many respects. After surgery, the skin, on the contrary, experiences stress, and aging processes may begin.

Price

Prices for the procedure at Deltaclinic are affordable and correspond to the level of training of specialists, equipment and equipment of the clinic. You can find out how much the bioreinforcement procedure costs at an initial consultation with a cosmetologist, where they will create an individual injection course program for you and select the optimal drug.

The price formation will be influenced by the number of procedures required, as well as the method of bioreinforcement and the type of product used.

The best preparations for bioreinforcement

The cosmetologist selects a vector lifting product after assessing the condition of your skin. For one procedure, 1 ml of the drug is often enough. Often, clinics have already purchased bioreinforcement products, and you need to pay for the doctor’s work and the drug. The average cost of 1 session is 15,000-25,000 rubles. If you want to save a little, order filler separately (but find out which one you need first) and pay only for the services of a cosmetologist.

The essence of bioreinforcement

Bioreinforcement of the face follows the same pattern as reinforcement . The drug is injected into the skin along the lines of a diamond-shaped mesh, outlined by the cosmetologist on the client’s face immediately before the procedure. The technique of administering the drug is cannula, since it is easier to repeat the intended lines with a long thin needle. After inserting the cannula, the doctor makes oscillatory movements with it to expand the microchannel. And only when the needle is withdrawn is the gel in a small dosage injected into this channel. As a result, so-called biothreads are formed.

Bioreinforcement procedure

A session of facial stitching with gel threads lasts about 40-60 minutes, and the result lasts at least 3-4 months. The formed frame not only reliably fixes the effect, but also promotes natural healing and rejuvenation of the skin. Bioreinforcement provides double action due to the composition of the drugs.

The essence of bioreinforcement or vector lifting

During manipulation, hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin. A sufficient volume of this natural substance is necessary for the constant renewal of its cells and maintaining elasticity.

Injections of drugs with hyaluronic acid are given according to a certain scheme. The component does not just increase the level of moisture in the skin. Active collagen synthesis begins around its molecules. This leads to the formation of a tissue-supporting scaffold. The fibers are arranged so that the skin is evenly tightened. At the same time as lifting, its quality improves, it becomes smooth, elastic, and healthy.

Bioreinforcement is also possible with the introduction of other active substances. Calcium hydroxyapatite, polycaprolactone and polylactic acid also stimulate the renewal of skin collagen fibers.

We recommend reading about MAX face lift. You will learn about indications and contraindications for the procedure, preparation and execution of max-lifting, recovery period after, cost. And here is more information about the drug RADIESSE.

The essence of bioreinforcement and execution technique

Bioreinforcement is a non-surgical cosmetic intervention that allows for face lifting and correction. It is accomplished by introducing hyaluronic acid or other new generation products into the subcutaneous layer.

As a result of the uniform distribution of the active substance under the surface of the skin, the face is as if “stitched” with the finest threads of gel. A cosmetologist must have honed skills, know exactly how much substance is required to solve specific problems, as well as the thickness of the needle, the depth and direction of its immersion. If these points are not met, the oval of the face may not change for the better, and the gel may spread, distort the appearance and cause negative consequences.

In addition, the result of injection cosmetology is short-lived; at best, the effect will last for 12 months after injections with hyaluronic acid and up to 5 years after polylactic acid. After this, repeat therapy will be required.

Thread rejuvenation

When using this method, threads are installed inside the skin. The body responds to foreign material by attempting to limit it through overproduction of collagen fibers. This takes from 7 to 14 days.

The advantages of this method are the absence of marks from incisions on the skin and the long-lasting effect of the procedure.

There are two types of threads: absorbable (polylactic) and non-absorbable, consisting of polycaprolactone. The latter are more durable and have a long-lasting rejuvenation effect.

Types of non-absorbable threads:

• thin gold ones made of metal of the highest standard;
• platinum;
• Aptos threads made of polypropylene;
• Teflon.

The most popular method is rejuvenation with Aptos threads. These are durable synthetic threads equipped with additional micro-notches that help to anchor in the deep layers of the skin and distribute tension evenly over the entire surface of the face and neck.
