Without the need for surgery - this is called cosmetic surgery - these are less invasive procedures that are performed in the doctor's office. To do this, it is imperative to go to a dermatologist, a doctor or a cosmetic surgeon, the only ones with a good knowledge of the skin and facial anatomy. Structural ageing of the face, much deeper than the skin The face is a superimposition of planes: bone relief, muscular envelope, fat mattress and external envelope. Each layer interacts with the top and bottom layers. The ageing of the face is therefore not just a question of skin ageing. This is what explains the gradual slippage of facial areas over the years. - Under the skin,fatty volumes sag: the temples and cheeks hollow out; dark circles and puffiness appear; the upper eyelids droop; the valley of tears appears by fatty slippage; the lips become thinner, the mouth sags and bitterness folds are created at the corners of the mouth; the fatty volumes of the lower face slip, drawing jowls and chin lines. - The muscles, under the fat, shorten, which freezes them in contraction, leading to the appearance of expression lines: crow's feet, forehead, frown lines and around the mouth. - The bone relief, in depth, is thinning and receding. Shadows appear on the face. The cavities where the eyes are lodged enlarge, they enter the eye sockets. The malar bone (under the cheekbones) reabsorbs, causing the soft tissues of the middle third of the face to fall and the nasolabial fold to form. The jaw and chin resorb: the oval becomes blurred. What are the possible treatments? Injections - Botulinum toxin: derived from a bacterium, it is used to reduce excessive muscle contractions responsible for expression lines: crow's feet, forehead, frown lines. It is also used by certain experienced practitioners, outside the AMM (marketing authorisation), in the lower face (corners of the mouth, vertical wrinkles above the upper lip, platismal cords of the neck). The result can be seen in a few days and lasts six months. - Hyaluronic acid: it is a natural constituent of the human body, which swells with water, particularly present in the skin to which it gives its plumped up appearance. Reproduced by biotechnology, it is versatile when injected. From now on, the doctor chooses from a range of hyaluronic acids that goes from hyper fluid to very dense, depending on whether he or she wants to improve skin quality, fill in wrinkles and hollows or restore lost volumes deep down. The immediate correction lasts from nine months (lips) to twenty-four months (dark circles). Its various forms: - Mesotherapy: this revitalizing treatment combines fluid or free hyaluronic acid with a rejuvenating cocktail (vitamins, trace elements, etc.) in multi-stitch or microneedling (a roller or a pen with multiple tiny needles) in the dermis to deeply rehydrate, plump up the skin and restore its radiance. - Skinboosters: a very lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which rehydrates and plumps up slightly withered skin and gives a glow to younger skin. - More or less thick (cross-linked) and flexible hyaluronic acids are injected on the surface to correct crow's feet, frown lines, fine wrinkles on the forehead and around the mouth, and more deeply to restore volumes lost with age in the naso-labial folds, cheekbones and the valley of tears. Or create some: correct a nose, project a chin, pulper lips... The peel, the eraser of imperfections Depending on its strength, it can range from brightness to the removal of spots, melasma and redness, even wrinkles. It will both strongly exfoliate and stimulate the dermis. Deep peeling with phenol, which leads to a social eviction of three weeks, is now quite rarely practiced. We prefer superficial peeling with TCA (trichloroacetic acid) which reduces fine lines, spots and acne scars on thicker skin, or glycolic acid for thinner skin. The doctor runs a preparation solution over the face and then the chosen acid peel before rinsing it off and applying a soothing cream. Expect redness for 24 to 48 hours for the lightest, a week of healing where the skin is tight and flaky for TCA, with application of healing cream several times a day. Sun cream SPF 50 is mandatory for one month. Laser resurfacing Laser is known for hair removal, correction of spots and redness, but it can also improve the visible signs of aging. It can smooth the skin, reduce wrinkles and cause tension by stimulating fibroblasts (cells that make the skin's collagen). The ablative laser (CO2, Erbium) acts like a peel and abrases the skin down to the upper dermis, forcing a social eviction of more than a week. The fractional non-ablative or micro-ablative laser (Fraxel, Nd-Yag) "hits" the skin as if through a sieve and creates discontinuous "wells", which makes it possible to increase the energy per pulse and reach the skin more deeply. As the areas between the wells retain all their healing and pigmentation capacities, the after-effects are simpler and the risks reduced. The results are visible in a few weeks for the ablative, two months for the fractionated. To be carried out in the middle of winter as it is necessary to avoid the sun for nearly 3 months. Radio frequency for release To combat the onset of sagging, monopolar or bipolar radio frequency, using electrodes applied to the skin to be treated, stimulates the formation of new collagen in the dermis by heating it strongly. The latest generation of radiofrequency, known as transcutaneous fractional radiofrequency, creates coagulation points directly in the deep dermis by means of electric microimpact made with ultra-fine needles. The effects are visible between one and six months later and last up to one or two years (the time it takes to create new collagen).
