AND Is it possible to reshape the face with specific treatments for the oval shape and without cosmetic surgery, i.e. facelift and scalpel? Yes, thanks to micro invasive, effective and fast aesthetic medicine techniques. From fillers to hyaluronic acid to collagen, from HIFU treatment to tightening threads, There are several valid techniques to remedy the loss of tone and firmness of the face.
Soft treatments to tone the oval of the face
Forty-five years represents a “turning point” for the face. More or less in this period of life, in fact, the oval begins to change, showing changes and sagging which then reach their peak with menopause. Around this age, in a natural way, they begin to decrease the hormones that keep the skin elastic and therefore the structure begins to yield to the force of gravitymuscle fibers relax and cell renewal slows down.
Hypovolumetry, i.e. the loss or emptying of part of the facial support fat, may also occur. The oval therefore begins to appear a little less defined, more tired and saggy; in particular along the jaw line and in the area around the contours of the mouth, where deep wrinkles are most accentuated.
Even the cheeks undergo a change: they tend to feel the effects of gravity, often transforming the general appearance of the face, shifting the harmony from one shape to V (high cheeks, sharp chin) to U (i.e. cheeks and chin area with laxity).
Face, 7 treatments for the anti-laxity oval
How to act? Anti-wrinkle, toning and lifting face creams certainly have an important supporting role. Enhanceable with tminimally intrusive techniques which can give an important boost.
1. HIFU treatment to firm the oval of the face
Acronym for High-intensity Focused Ultrasoundthis treatment helps reshape tissues thanks to high frequency ultrasound. Compared to other aesthetic medicine techniques, such as laser, high intensity ultrasound they act very deep into the skin, reactivating collagen fibres.
HIFU also works improving skin elasticity and skin tone, as well as stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation and the production of new collagen. Painless, it gradually rejuvenates and the first results are noticeable within 20 days.
2. Hyaluronic acid filler, for a boost of tone
Indicated to “support” the oval of the face, the ahigh crosslinking hyaluronic acid, which is heavier and more resistant, is a boost of hydration and natural “filling” of the tissues. The filler acts in depth, positioning the hyaluronic acidespecially on the cheekbone and mandibular angle. The result is immediately visible and lasts on average between six months and a year.
3. Traction threads, for a non-surgical lifting effect
Increasingly appreciated in the panorama of anti-aging aesthetic solutions, the traction threads “lift” the skin thanks to a procedure called mini facelift non-surgical, i.e. it does not require anesthesia or incisions or stitches.
In practice, made of polydioxanone, the threads have mini cones on their surface which are “anchored” under the skin and they stimulate epidermal collagen so as to restore firmness and tone. Basically they are applied on the cheeks and along the jaw profile and are then metabolised by the body within 6-8 months.
4. Laser Endolifting, the solution for mild and moderate sagging
Performed in the clinic, the laser Endolifting it is a medium invasive treatment that consists ofinsert a laser fiber under the skin which reactivates the regeneration processes of collagen and elastic fibres so as to restore tone to the skin. The results are visible from the first days but improve in the following 3-4 months.
This type of operation can cause slight redness and edema which usually regress quickly. It is indicated to act on the lower middle third, to redefine the contour of the jaw, to reshape the oval in general and for a lifting effect on the neck. The result lasts up to 3 years and is particularly noticeable from the age of 45 onwards, when the first signs of failure can begin to be noticed.
5. The collagen inducer, to try even before the age of 40
What does collagen induction mean? It involves the injection of a biorevitalizing cocktail, conveyed by an aqueous gel, which stimulates the natural epidermal ability to produce collagen. Compared to hyaluronic acid, this treatment does not act on the volumes of the face, but helps to make the skin brighter, more compact, toned, especially in the cheek-neck area. Often performed in a single session, it gives a visible result after a month and can be improved over time.
Biorevitalization it is particularly suitable for those who want to prevent the first failures, therefore it is suitable even if you are 30/35 years old. It may cause slight swelling and some bruising on the face.
