Vector lifting - what is it, what results does it give?

Along with modern methods of combating skin aging, the most effective and efficient method can be identified - this is vector lifting . This procedure consists of introducing injection threads containing hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite into the subcutaneous tissue.

Vector face lifting is a modern cosmetic procedure for rejuvenating and tightening the skin. Reviews from women who have undergone this procedure indicate high effectiveness

Vector face lifting gives instant results: the skin looks refreshed, takes on a more youthful appearance, without losing its natural features. The effect of the procedure lasts from 8 months to 2 years.

Efficiency of the technique

The result of the bioreinforcement procedure is 2 effects:

Lasting results in facial skin tightening are associated with the formation of a network of microfibrous fibers that lift the cheek area, skin of the chin, corners of the mouth and smooth out nasolabial wrinkles.
The second phase of 3D modeling involves the resorption of fibrous threads and the degradation of hyaluronic acid located in the skin channels, stimulating the synthesis of its own collagen structures that maintain the elasticity of the skin and contribute to the reappearance of the lifting effect. As a result, the procedure of bioramming - facial rejuvenation - continues for a whole year from the moment of its implementation.

This technique is a course, that is, it includes the first 3 sessions performed by a cosmetologist at an interval of 3 weeks, after which 2 more sessions are performed (once a month).

In addition, the introduction of hyaluronic acid deep into the epidermis restores the water balance of the skin structure, creating ideal conditions for enhanced synthesis of this substance by one’s own cells.

This procedure is suitable for the age group from 35 to 50–55 years. In this age range, vector face lifting allows you to achieve the best results and maintains a long-lasting effect.

How is the vector lifting procedure performed, how painful is it?

The vector lifting procedure takes no more than 1 hour , and the process of inserting implants is practically not felt, since the cosmetologist performs the operation under local anesthesia. To achieve an ideal result, the injection must be administered in a certain direction: from the periphery to the central part.

The vector lifting technique is designed in such a way that by introducing the drug, a certain framework is created under the skin, which subsequently causes the growth of connective tissue, due to which wrinkles are smoothed out and the skin becomes pleasant, smooth, toned and elastic.

Advantages

Vector lifting preparations are biocompatible and do not cause allergic reactions. After their introduction, the facial muscles are not affected, and facial mobility is maintained. Radiesse vector lifting procedure

the duration of the manipulation is about 40 minutes;
no special training required;
the procedure is painless;
minimum list of contraindications;
vessels and deep layers of skin are not injured;
fast recovery.

After the rejuvenating procedure, there are no scars left. The biogel is not encapsulated; it gradually dissolves and is excreted from the body, but the effect is maintained due to the activation of collagen production.

The result can be seen in a few days. The contours of the face are tightened, folds in the nasolabial triangle disappear, wrinkles are smoothed out, and the texture of the skin improves. The components contained in fillers act as fillers that restore lost volumes and even out the relief. Provide a long-lasting effect by stimulating the production of elastin and collagen.

Implants used in vector lifting. Their features. Which implants are better and why?

Cosmetologists prefer the following modern injectable fillers:

Surgiderm line of drugs, produced by the French company Corneal, with different degrees of injection density, depending on which the area of application and duration of the effect are selected. The active component of this implant is purified hyaluronic acid. Surgiderm series preparations rarely cause an allergic reaction; they have a special structure, which ensures a longer stay of the implant in the tissues and gradual resorption with prolonged exposure. The manufacturer guarantees the duration of the anti-aging effect from 9 months to 1 year.

Revanesse preparations Canadian manufacturer Prollenium Medical Technologies containing high molecular weight hyaluronic acid are also a patented brand that is widely used in the field of cosmetology. Thanks to their special structure, filler threads are easily introduced into the subcutaneous layers and lead to instant tissue smoothing. Depending on the amount of hyaluronic acid content, the skin gains elasticity for a long time: from 18 to 24 months.
New generation injection gels Repleri, developed by the Russian company NovoNexus, containing biosynthesized hyaluronic acid, are often used in vector face lifting. Repleri biphasic filler has a fairly dense consistency, thanks to which it has shape memory. Such implants are indicated for dry, dehydrated skin., easily cope with multiple small wrinkles, as well as any age-related changes. The duration of the effect ranges from 9 to 18 months.
Filler for contouring Ellanse, produced by the Dutch company Aqtis Medical, includes the main component - polycaprolactone. The drug is absolutely hypoallergenic, has the property of biodegradation - complete resorption in the body, helps stimulate the natural production of collagen. Ellanse filler threads are effective in combating multiple age and expression wrinkles, correct the shape of the face, hide scars and scars, and other various skin defects. According to experts, the effect of this implant lasts from 1 to 4 years.
The most popular dermal filler in the beauty industry, Radiesse from the German company Merz is considered. The composition of the drug includes calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHa) in an amount of 30%, the remaining percentage is gel-like distilled water. The injection is biocompatible with soft tissues, completely biodegradable, and eliminates allergic reactions and rejection.

The drug has a number of significant advantages:

Increases the volume of soft tissues;
is painless , which is achieved by using local anesthesia while simultaneously administering an anesthetic along with the injection.
The scope of application is much wider than that of other drugs: formation of the correct shape of the face, correction of the chin, nose, giving definition and volume to the cheeks and cheekbones, rejuvenation of the skin of the hands;
Eliminates wrinkles and nasolabial folds;
The implant does not migrate, the gel-like consistency is completely absorbed, leaving the CaHa components to maintain the effect;
The composition of the drug activates the independent production of collagen in the body, which will gradually take place in the areas where the implant is located;
Short recovery period and minimal marks on the skin.

Cosmetologists note the following observation: the areas where Radiesse filler threads are placed still remain naturally plastic, soft, all subcutaneous layers are filled with injection and provide maximum effect for up to 15 months.

Based on these data and the frequent demand for the drug, we can conclude: Radiesse is the ideal solution when choosing an implant for vector face lifting, rejuvenation of the skin of the hands, décolleté and neck, suitable in all respects and meeting the safety of the consequences.

How is the procedure performed?

First, the skin is treated with an anesthetic. Then markings are applied to the face in the form of a grid of equilateral diamonds. Finally, the doctor very carefully fills each facet of each diamond with the appropriate contouring preparation.

The body immediately begins work on collagen production. And after a few weeks, the face literally “flies up” (this is how reviews from our patients describe what is happening). Subsequently, the filler is completely destroyed, and the edges of the diamond are filled with their own collagen. The achieved lifting effect lasts for at least one and a half years!

Stages of the procedure and their features.

Like all cosmetic procedures, vector lifting should be carried out exclusively on an outpatient basis by a specialist who has a certificate and license to carry out activities. These requirements guarantee the quality and safety of the operation.

The process of vector lifting consists of several stages:

Applying an anesthetic cream or gel to the areas to be injected with filler.
Marking vector guidelines from the center to the periphery on the patient’s facial skin with a special cosmetic marker.
Thorough treatment with chlorhexidine disinfectant solution.
Introducing filler threads using cannulas using a special technique: light manipulating movements of the needle in the subcutaneous layer for the best further penetration of the implant.
Then a cosmetologist Applies a special regenerating agent to the lifting areas, gives detailed recommendations for skin care and, if necessary, schedules a repeat session.

At the end of the procedure, it is possible to return the correct shape and contours of the oval of the face, replenish volumes, and obtain good tightening and rejuvenation of the skin. This is the peculiarity and advantage of vector lifting in comparison with other means and types of cosmetic lifts.

Rehabilitation period of recovery. Skin care after lifting.

Despite the minimal intervention and the extent of damage on the surface of the skin and its deep layers after vector face lifting, certain rules and restrictions must still be observed during the rehabilitation period.

For the first 2-4 days after a facelift, you should avoid prolonged exposure to the active sun, avoid visiting a solarium, going to a sauna or bathhouse, observe the temperature regime , limit or temporarily exclude physical activity and sports activities.

There are no strict recommendations and rules for skin care after a lifting procedure, so after a short rehabilitation period, you can resume your usual visit to a cosmetologist and combine massage and any other rejuvenation procedures.

How to increase skin immunity after vector lifting.

Any cosmetic procedure injures the surface of the skin to one degree or another.

Therefore, after such operations it is necessary to restore her immunity:

eat more fruits , fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C: rose hips, black currants, sea buckthorn, strawberries, wild strawberries, kiwi, citrus fruits, sweet peppers, onions, greens and spinach;
cleanse the skin of various contaminants using cosmetics based on natural plant ingredients;
visiting a bathhouse or sauna will also have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin;
take general strengthening vitamin complexes;
be active life, spend more time in nature.

Ultimately, your skin will receive enough stimulation and strength to recover, and the result will be expressive and long-lasting.

Possible side effects and complications. How they are eliminated.

Vector lifting is considered the safest and least traumatic type of skin reinforcement, therefore the number of side effects and adverse events is minimized.

There may be redness and bruising at the points where the needle is inserted, swelling, bruising and pain in micro-wounds, itching, inflammation, the formation of dense nodules, infection in unhealed areas of skin puncture, and rarely an allergic reaction.

Cosmetologists assure that the resulting side effects are the norm and a natural reaction of the body, which disappear after 3-4 days.

The risk of complications is also minimal, but it still occurs:

Keloid scar formation or excessive growth of connective tissue fibers resulting from damage to the skin due to excessive collagen synthesis, leading to an unpleasant aesthetic appearance. Such scars cause burning and itching on the skin, accompanied by pain.
When using fillers containing hyaluronic acid, nodular cystic formations and sterile abscesses may appear, especially in the area of the nasolabial folds. In drugs with a calcium hydroxyapatite component, similar manifestations occur less frequently.

Note! Such complications cannot be eliminated on their own; in this case, it is appropriate to promptly seek help from a highly qualified specialist who will determine the method of treatment individually.

Therapeutic treatment includes:

The use of medications by introducing steroid hormones – corticosteroids – into the affected area, thereby reducing collagen synthesis;
The use of enzymes capable of breaking down hyaluronic acid;
Immunomodulatory therapy consists of the administration of interferon;
Applying liquid nitrogen to the affected area;
Laser removal of keloid scars;
Physiotherapy – carrying out electrophoresis procedures using special enzyme-containing gels.

Surgical treatment is prescribed in extremely rare cases.

Cosmetic procedures, such as mesotherapy and peeling, are also aimed at eliminating complications after lifting and preventing the formation of new ones.

Contraindications

There are a number of contraindications to the use of vector lifting , identified through a detailed study of information about the health status and medical history of patients:

the presence of inflammatory processes in areas of the facial skin;
disorders , taking medications that affect thrombus formation;
pregnancy and lactation;
the likelihood of an allergic reaction;
autoimmune system diseases
diabetes;
the likelihood of keloid scar formation.

Vector lifting is a non-surgical method of improving facial contours

The desire for beauty has been characteristic of man at all times, so there were people who helped both the female and male half of society maintain youth and attractiveness. If previously the negative manifestations of age were effectively combated exclusively by surgical methods, now there are significantly more opportunities to improve the condition of the skin of the face and body. One of the effective methods of maintaining a beautiful facial contour, which experts have been using for quite a long time, is reinforcement. The main goal of this procedure is to prevent sagging of individual areas of the skin using threads made of precious metal - gold.

Although reinforcement technology has been known for a long time, progress does not stand still, and there is always a way to improve existing cosmetology methods. Therefore, scientists were able to invent and test a new method of reinforcing the skin, which does not require surgical intervention and includes the use of the latest biological materials. The best specialists from various fields of medicine and cosmetology had to spend about a year and a half to discover and test a new product - filler, designed to help preserve beauty for a long time without a surgical scalpel.

Dermatologists managed to synthesize special threads that replaced gold, the main component of which was hyaluronic acid, which is often used in plastic surgeries to correct facial contours. Experimental studies resulted in amazing results: as it turned out, the new material, in addition to its direct purpose, also has several positive effects regarding the impact on the inner layers of the skin. After a course of injections with this drug, patients experience such a high lifting effect, which previously could only be achieved thanks to the efforts of plastic surgeons.

It is believed that the most suitable age for women, at which the effect of vector lifting will be maximum, is 35-55 years. At an older age, the effectiveness of the procedures will be less, and the external manifestation of lifting will be lower. Typically, such procedures are resorted to for the following purposes: correction of wrinkles and improvement of facial contours, increasing skin firmness and elasticity. If you have not yet decided whether to go for a lift, try this simple experiment at home: stand in front of a mirror and tilt your head to your shoulder. If you notice that the contour of your face has shifted and folds have appeared, then you need a bioreinforcement procedure.

However, as with any procedure, vector lifting also has a number of contraindications. You should not undergo bioreinforcement if you have a bleeding disorder or are taking anticoagulants. It is prohibited to perform the procedure for pregnant and nursing mothers, as well as if you have an aggravated chronic disease or there are inflammatory processes in the area of the lift.
