HA Fillers
HA stands for Hyaluronic Acid. It is a natural substance found in the human body that helps to hydrate and retain water. In cosmetic treatments, HA fillers refer to injectable gels that are used to add volume and hydration to the skin, thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and other signs of aging. These fillers are typically temporary and can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type and amount used.There are many different types of HA fillers available, each with its own specific properties and intended use. Some of the most popular brands include Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero, but there are many others as well.
PDO & PLLA Threads
Biostimulating threads refer to a type of cosmetic treatment that involves the use of thread-like sutures made of Polydioxanone (PDO) or Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA) to lift and tighten the skin. The threads are inserted into the deeper layers of the skin using a needle, and once in place, they stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen, resulting in skin tightening and a more youthful appearance.
PDO threads are absorbable sutures that are commonly used in surgical procedures, and they are now being used in cosmetic treatments as a non-surgical alternative to facelifts and other skin-tightening procedures. PLLA threads, on the other hand, are non-absorbable sutures that provide more long-lasting results but also require a more invasive procedure for insertion.
Both PDO and PLLA threads are considered minimally invasive procedures and typically only require local anesthesia. The results from these treatments can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the specific product used and the individual’s skin quality and aging process.
BioStimulators
A BioStimulator is a product used in cosmetic treatments that is designed to stimulate the body’s own natural processes to produce collagen and other substances that help to improve the appearance of skin. BioStimulators can be in the form of injectable gels, creams, or other topical products, and may contain ingredients like collagen gel, growth factors, and other active substances that are intended to help restore skin’s youthfulness and improve its overall appearance. The exact mechanism of action can vary depending on the specific product and the ingredients it contains, but the goal is typically to enhance the skin’s natural processes to promote a more youthful, refreshed look.
Sculptra & BellaFill
Both Sculptra and Bellafill are considered safe and effective treatments for enhancing collagen production and improving the appearance of the skin. However, it is important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine the best treatment options for your specific needs and goals.
Sculptra is an injectable product that is used to enhance collagen production and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is made of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that has been used for decades in medical implants and dissolvable sutures. When injected into the deeper layers of the skin, Sculptra stimulates the body’s own natural collagen production, resulting in a gradual improvement in skin texture, volume, and overall appearance. The effects of Sculptra can last up to 2 years.
Bellafill is a semi-permanent injectable filler used to treat facial wrinkles and acne scars. Unlike other dermal fillers that are absorbed by the body over time, Bellafill is made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres suspended in a collagen gel. These microspheres provide structure to the skin and stimulate the growth of new collagen, resulting in long-lasting improvement in skin texture and appearance. The effects of Bellafill can last up to 5 years or longer.
