FACE LIFTING
Face lifting is a complex of non–surgical procedures aimed at tightening and strengthening the skin and ligaments of the face, improving its tone, elasticity and eliminating age-related changes such as wrinkles and sagging. The main purpose of face lifting is to rejuvenate the skin and restore its elasticity.
Why does sagging skin occur
and why do blisters, puppet wrinkles, and a second chin form?
Loss of collagen and elastin
With age, the skin loses its ability to regenerate and synthesize collagen and elastin, proteins responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. These changes lead to thinning of the skin, a decrease in its density and ability to repair.
Reducing the level of hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is responsible for moisturizing the skin, keeping moisture in the cells. With age, its amount decreases, which leads to dry skin and a decrease in its tone.
Degradation of subcutaneous fat
Subcutaneous fat plays an important role in maintaining the shape and contours of the face. With age, fat cells decrease and redistribute, which leads to sagging skin and changing facial contours.
Weakening of muscles and ligaments
The muscles and ligaments of the face also lose their tone with age, which contributes to sagging skin and the formation of folds. The weakening of the neck and chin muscles leads to the formation of a second chin.
Gravity
Gravity constantly affects our skin, and with age, when the supporting structures weaken, this leads to sagging skin downwards.

Jowls
Jowls (or "bulldog cheeks") are sagging skin and fatty tissue in the lower part of the face. They are formed due to the loss of skin and muscle tone, as well as the redistribution of body fat. A decrease in collagen and elastin levels exacerbates this process, making the skin less elastic and malleable to gravity.
Puppet Wrinkles
Puppet wrinkles are vertical folds that form on the sides of the corners of the mouth and go down to the chin. They occur due to a loss of volume in the middle part of the face and a decrease in the tone of the skin and muscles around the mouth. The constant movement of muscles in this area (for example, when talking or expressing emotions) also contributes to the formation of these wrinkles.
The second chin
The second chin is formed due to the accumulation of adipose tissue and the weakening of the skin and muscles in the chin and neck area. Genetic factors, excess weight, as well as age-related changes contribute to the formation of a second chin. In addition, improper posture and the habit of lowering your head can exacerbate the problem.

Lifting and facelift techniques in cosmetology
Filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite
When the drug is administered, a framework of protein strands is formed. The active formation of new collagen fibers begins around the accumulation of the composition. Even after resorption of the filler, strong collagen bonds remain at the injection sites, which provides a long-term lifting effect.
Polylactic acid
It is a powerful stimulator of the cells' own collagen production. This ensures a long-lasting (more than 2 years) and stable effect of drugs based on it.
As a result of injections, the main characteristics of the skin are qualitatively improved. It becomes elastic and dense, wrinkles are smoothed out. Scars and scars become less noticeable.

Hardware techniques
SMAS lifting is an ultrasound technique that affects the superficial muscular-aponeurotic layer. This deep impact provides significant skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Microneedle radiofrequency lifting (RF-lifting) is a skin rejuvenation technique combining microneedle therapy and exposure to radiofrequency waves.

Thread lifting
Thread lifting involves the introduction of special threads under the skin, which create a framework for tightening and maintaining the skin. The threads stimulate the production of collagen, providing a long-lasting tightening effect, mechanically tighten the skin, eliminating sagging and improving the contours of the face.

- painful sensations at injection sites some time after the procedure (1-2 days);
- hyperemia of the dermis at the injection sites (during the first day);
- hematoma (in case of injury to the vessel), which completely resolves in 10-14 days;
- swelling of soft tissues in the area of administration of the drug (2-5 days).
- use regenerating creams;
- do not take blood thinners and alcohol for 5-7 days;
- apply UV protection to the skin (before leaving the house)
- do not visit baths and saunas until complete healing
PRODUCTS THAT I USE
Aesthefill
A dermal filler produced in South Korea. The base is polylactic acid. It is biocompatible and biodegradable. Spherical molecules of polylactic acid stimulate the work of fibroblasts– skin cells that are responsible for the formation of collagen.
RADIESSE
Filler Radiess is produced by the German manufacturer Merz Pharma. The main active substance is calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres suspended in an aqueous carrier gel. It is a natural component that makes up the body's bone tissue and stimulates the synthesis of collagen-elastin proteins. They provide the skin with elasticity and density.
THREADS
Seocore® is a South Korean company specializing in the development and production of mesonites for aesthetic correction and threadlift. Smooth threads reinforce the tissues, forming a kind of lattice in them, around which the elastin and collagen fibers become taut and elastic again.
