A modern
woman wants to remain young and beautiful as long as possible, because youth
and beauty are a symbol of success. However, today the safety of rejuvenation
procedures and treatments is a primary concern. That is why new techniques and
products are constantly being developed in the field of cosmetology and
aesthetic medicine to ensure low-invasive and safe rejuvenation.
The patients
of aesthetic surgery clinics often chose procedures involving application of biopolymer
gel because these procedures ensure immediate effect which meets their
expectations, recovery period is usually short, and recovery process does not involve
serious complications.
Biopolymer
gel has innovative formula compared to other injectable preparations. Its chemical
formula does not cause allergic reactions, is effectively encapsulated,
resulting in the absence of the migration side effect. The application of
biopolymer gel for the correction of lip shape allows to achieve most natural
and long-lasting results.
Recovery
period after the application of biopolymer gel is typically short and post-treatment
care does not include any additional medical procedures. A substantial
advantage of biopolymer gel application is the absence of scarring.
Biopolymer
gel is widely used not only for aesthetic correction of the lips, but also for
the reduction of wrinkles and scars. Effective reduction of nasolabial folds with
biopolymer gel made this procedure one of the most popular methods of
rejuvenation.
It is
believed that the amount of biopolymer gel applied should be insignificant,
because due to the substance encapsulation and the formation of connective
tissue around it, the effect will be more obvious over time. On the other hand,
due to absorption of water contained in the gel, it may slightly shrink in
volume. Such correction of volume and shape occurs within a month following the
procedure. That is why the final result can be seen only after a month.
The injection
of biopolymer gel does not require general anesthesia. Typically, the entire
procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The aesthetician makes a puncture
in the area of manipulation and then injects a small portion of biopolymer gel,
which can be administered in different ways. Depending on the desired effect, biopolymer
gel can be injected subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or submucosally. The
aesthetician manually distributes the gel in the tissues.
Typically,
recovery period runs quite smoothly. In the beginning, during the first - second
week after the procedure, some discomfort can be experienced by the patient.
Also, mimic movements are slightly constrained. At the initial post-procedure
stage, swelling and bruising are usually observed, but they completely
disappear by the end of the second week. In order to reduce postoperative
manifestations cold may be applied to the area of manipulation on the first day.
The cold is applied for 20-30 minutes every three hours during the day.
In order to
address sensitivity and unpleasant sensations, the esthetician prescribes
certain medications. To reduce recovery period, a variety of physiotherapeutic
procedures and massages can be also prescribed. If necessary, the esthetician
may resort to antibacterial therapy. In order to reduce post-operative period and
to avoid unwanted side effects it is not recommended to visit sauna, solarium
immediately after the procedure. Strenuous physical activity and stress should also
be avoided to prevent injury.
Contraindications
to the injection of biopolymer gel include aggravation of chronic diseases, as
well as presence of foci of acute inflammation in the body. In the presence of
chronic somatic diseases biopolymer gel can be administered only with the
permission of the attending physician, and only during the period of the remission
of the disease.
