Skin laxity, Aging and fillers
As we are ageing, our skin gradually loses volume and its major constituents such as collagen, elastin and Hyluranic acid.
Collogen acts as the major support protein for our skin
Elastin allows our skin to stay firm
Hyluranic acid helps to trap water and add volume and shape to our skin
What can be injected?
Collagen can be injected but it does not last very long. It can last only a few weeks to 2-3 months.
This is a filler used 10 years ago and earlier.
Elastin can not be injected but we can stimulate elastin and collagen formation in the skin with laser, deep acid peel, medical grade Microdermabrasion, topical products, Vitamins, etc.
Hyluranic acid a natural substance to the is available for injection as a dermal filler
Other fillers are available to add volume and stimulate collagen synthesis. Read more under fillers.
What area can be injected?
Most common area treated are the smile line which are creases from the nose to the corner of the mouth – Nasolabial lines- ( FDA approved)
Other areas commonly injected are: other smile lines around the mouth such as fine vertical lines of the upper lip (smoker lines), slant of the corner of lips (Merinet line),Fine line at the border of the upper and lower lip, Deep creases of the skin on the check, as well as frown lines, acne and Lip augmentation.
Check augmentation and nose contouring to avid nose job can also be injected by experts injectors. (One of expertise of Dr. Shafa)
Does fillers injection hurts?
Dr. Shafa's goal is to perform these procedures pain free. The discomfort associated with the injection can be controlled by multiple ways such as pre-medications with pills, nerve block, topical anesthesia, numbing cream, pre and post-icing, using cooling devise for numbing the area and more. Furthermore Arnica is offered to be used before and after injection which can significantly decreases the risk of bruising, one of the cause of discomfort after the treatment.
Skin rejuvenation and Fillers
Aged skin loses skin texture, volume and elasticity. With skin rejuvenation we try to improve all aspect of the skin changes, revitalize and regain youthful look.
Skin Resurfacing to correct superficial damages of the skin and give a youthful look and feel to the skin ( performed by FotoFacial, Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion, Topical Creams etc.)
Regaining volume by adding dermal Fillers such as Hyluranic acids( nutural substance) or other fillers to the skin to replaced lost volume.
Correcting skin laxity by stimulating collogen and Elastin formation( we offer Refirme laser, Wrinkle treatment via pollaris- and Fotofacial to stimulate collagen and Elastin formation) adding collagen is out dated option ( poor result due to short lasting effect) |
