Bio-reinforcement: what is it and how is it performed?

Representatives of the beautiful half of humanity dream of preserving the youth of their skin for a long time. To date, beauty salons offer a huge selection of procedures for rejuvenating the skin. The most popular and effective of them is bio-reinforcement of the face. Let us consider in more detail this type of rejuvenation, as well as the technique of its implementation.

Bio-reinforcement or vector lifting is a procedure to restore the original facial contour. With age or for other reasons, strong changes occur in the human body, one of which is the impossibility of retaining sufficient water in the cells.

As a result, the skin fades and loses its natural elasticity. Modern medicine has found a way to eliminate this problem by introducing special drugs that are able to keep the required amount of fluid at the cellular level.

The skin of the face is filled with hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite. As a result, there is a uniform distribution of elements and stimulation of metabolism in the cells. The effect of rejuvenation lasts about 5 years. In addition to biogels, filaments are also used, which are also inserted under the layers of the dermis without causing unpleasant sensations. The threads are made of polycaprolactone or it can be 3D mesothreads.

Beauticians use 3 types of threads:

• filaments that eventually dissolve under the layers of the skin (gold, polypropylene);
• threads that do not dissolve (from polylactic acid);
• combined threads.

There are several points to the advantages of vector lifting through threads.

• The reinforcement procedure lasts no more than 45 minutes.
• The effect of rejuvenation persists for a long time.
• If the result of the procedure did not please you, there is the possibility of a repeated change in tension.

The disadvantages include the fact that there may be a feeling of tightness of the skin, which can last for a long time. If there is a need for surgery, then the thread should be removed.

Hyaluronic acid is actively produced in the human body up to 25 years, but with age, the production of this component decreases, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles and dry skin. Through the use of helium or liquid preparations, the skin becomes elastic, and the facial contour acquires clarity.

With the help of a special device, the production of elastin and collagen is increased. Experts recommend applying this method of rejuvenation and tightening the skin of the face and neck at the age of 35 years, at a later age it will be much more difficult to achieve the effect.

A large number of women leave positive feedback on bio-reinforcement, due to the advantages in using:

• non-surgical technique;
• face gets a refreshing shade;
• smooth wrinkles are smoothed;
• long-lasting rejuvenation effect;
• the risk of complications is minimized;
• it is possible to correct the defects of various skin areas;
• after the procedure, the skin becomes elastic.

The disadvantages of this procedure include the age limit. After all, having applied vector lifting at a too early age, a reverse reaction occurs. To obtain the effect, it is necessary to perform about 3 sessions, the interval between them should be 2-3 weeks.

However, artificial preparations introduced into the dermis layers over time are processed and eliminated from the body. The skin with a decrease in injected drugs re-acquires a normal appearance (fade, turn pale, skin elasticity is lost). Therefore, bio-reinforcement should be carried out regularly to re-gain the effect of rejuvenation.

Bio-reinforcement of the face is recommended for such indications:

• if there is sagging skin on the face;
• in the presence of lowered eyebrows and corners of the eyes;
• owners of deep grooves in the nasolabial folds.

Also, this event can be carried out as a preventive measure with a small index of wilting and flabbiness of the skin. In rare cases, bio-reinforcement is used after burns to restore damaged skin. In addition, bio-reinforcement is performed to increase the cheeks, cheekbones and chin.

Experts strictly prohibit the use of bio-reinforcement when:

• blood disease;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• high temperature;
• oncological diseases;
• wounds and ulcers on the face;
• skin pathology;
• taking medications capable of thinning the blood.

If there is at least one of the above contraindications, this procedure should not be performed, it is better to consult with a beautician, who is able to choose another way of rejuvenation for you.

During the event, special means are used, the basis of which is hyaluronic acid, polylactic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite.

The best option is the use of drugs based on hyaluronic acid, because this material has several advantages in use:

• does not harm the skin;
• no side effects;
• the result lasts about 1 year.

The actions of such components are aimed at activating the production of new collagen in the cells of the body. The drugs penetrate as deeply as possible into the layers of the dermis, so the final result is noticeable more pronounced. Indeed, the depth of drug administration is very important - if it is insufficient, the facial contour may be deformed.

Consider the most popular drugs that are used when conducting bio-reinforcement.

• Revanesse. This drug is easy to use. After applying such a component, the wrinkles are instantly smoothed, and the effect is maintained depending on the number of special means in the filet (1.6-2 years).

• Repleri. This drug is made in Russia. Using this ingredient allows you to solve any problems with the skin. The duration of the effect varies from 9 months to 1 year.

• Sugriderm. Assortment of special tools that have different indentation density coefficients. Thanks to this feature, it is possible to choose the means for a particular part of the body. Sugriderm does not cause allergic reactions.

• Radiesse. Cosmetic tool is made on the basis of calcium hydroxyapatite, and the effect of skin rejuvenation lasts a long time (1-1.6 g).If you compare Radiesse with hyaluronic acid, then the first drug does not attract liquid to itself, which means that people who have problems with edema can use it. Active components not only correct the shape of the face, but also improve the shape of the cheekbones and chin.

As the reviews show, the last drug is more popular when conducting bio-reinforcement, due to the advantages in use:

• one hundred percent resorption means;
• does not cause allergies;
• minimum side effects;
• painless sensations, because with the introduction of this drug, local anesthesia is simultaneously administered under the skin;
• large scope of use;
• the short term required by the skin for recovery.

Before bioreforming, you should consult with a beautician. He initially clarifies the presence of contraindications, and if so, the cosmetologist should advise you of another method of rejuvenation.

It is forbidden to conduct bio-reinforcement during menstruation, as well as 5-7 days before it. Indeed, during this period in the body of a woman there are significant changes in the body. If vector lifting will be performed with anesthesia, then it is necessary to visit the anesthesiologist so that he can schedule an examination of the body's sensitivity to anesthetic drugs. After all, some people do not tolerate anesthesia, then you have to choose another way to rejuvenate the skin.

So that after the procedure there is no strong pigmentation, beauticians advise one day before the bio-reinforcement to refuse to accept alcoholic beverages and additional physical exertion.

Today, beauticians use not only biogels for vector lifting, but also threads. Each of these drugs is distinguished by its composition and technique.

To begin with, let's take a closer look at the bio-reinforcement technique using a biological gel.

• The first step is to treat the skin with an anesthetic with lidocaine. Anesthesia is performed half an hour before the vector lifting.
• After that, this area must be covered with a film (for 30 minutes). Next is the injection of a previously drawn pattern.
• The drug is injected into the layers of the skin with a syringe with a thin needle. The injected preparation forms the skeleton of the skin area where it was injected. As a result, sagging skin areas are tightened, and the renewal processes in the cells are activated.
• Specialized drugs are injected into the middle layers of the dermis.
• At the end of the procedure, the treated areas are lubricated with special agents that have a calming effect.

But this technique is not offered by all salons, since for this it is necessary to have a certain classification. Therefore, many prefer injection reinforcement.

The technique of bio-reinforcement through threads is carried out in several stages.

• The cosmetologist by means of antiseptics cleans the skin from various types of impurities.
• As an anesthetic, local or general anesthesia is used, it all depends on the characteristics of the organism.
• In order to insert the suture into the layers of the skin, a syringe with a flexible needle is used in which the threads are pre-inserted. The introduction is done in the form of a grid in the layers of the dermis. Penetrating under the skin, special material does not harm the dermis, and smoothly slides under it.
• Upon completion of the procedure, the puncture sites are sealed with a medical plaster, which is treated with an antiseptic. The duration of the session varies from 30 to 45 minutes.

Before signing up for a bio-reinforcement session, You should be familiar with possible side effects that may occur completely unexpectedly.

• In areas prone to injections, redness and swelling may occur. Such places should be carefully treated with antiseptic agents to prevent the inflammatory process in the body.
• Wrong face contour. This effect may occur due to insufficient qualifications of the master, so it is worthwhile to choose a decent salon and a specialist, it is desirable that there are positive feedback from previous patients. Otherwise, irreversible processes in the body can occur, which will affect the skin areas located next to the injections.
• The appearance of age spots on the skin. This is due to improper skin care during the recovery period.

During the rehabilitation period, the patient must fulfill some of the requirements of cosmetologists who will help in a fairly short period of time to restore the skin, as well as prevent side effects.

• For the first 24 hours it is forbidden to wet the skin with water, touch it with your hands, and also lubricate areas with creams and other means.
• The areas of injections should be cleaned with special means (antiseptics), also anti-inflammatory cream should be applied to these areas. If the pain does not pass a long time, you should seek the help of a specialist who will prescribe painkillers.
• You can take care of your skin in the usual way only after 3-4 days from the moment of the procedure. But it is strictly forbidden to perform peeling and massage, as well as not to use scrubs and alcohol-containing agents. It is forbidden to knead the area of ​​punctures on their own. Compared with mesotherapy, where massage leads to a uniform distribution of injected components in the layers of the dermis, then with vector lifting it is necessary that the biogel be independently distributed over certain areas in the layers of the skin.

• During the week it is not recommended to visit the bath, sauna, and also it is necessary to avoid direct exposure of the sun to the areas exposed to bio-reinforcement.
• In order for the recovery to take place in a shorter time, it is necessary to take dicinone for 3 days, which can be administered either intravenously or intramuscularly.

Experts recommend that patients adhere to certain rules which will help restore immunity after the procedure in a short time.

• The diet should include fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C (orange, lemon, black currant, wild rose, greens, sweet peppers, onions, garlic).
• Skin areas that have been injected should be kept sterile. Cosmetics can be used for cleansing, which are made on the basis of herbal ingredients.
• Beauticians advise to constantly take vitamin and mineral preparations.
• Should lead a healthy lifestyle. It is not recommended to abuse alcohol, smoking, narcotic drugs.
